WHY THE RIVER RUNS is the story of Bo Galloway. Bo has not
had an easy life, and after four years in prison, he has
returned
to his hometown and his grandmother to start over.
Job searches are never easy for a man with a criminal record,
but thankfully Duane Foster knows Bo's grandmother and
remembers who he used to be. Mr. Foster, the owner of Foster
Construction, gives him a chance.
The first thing Bo must do is meet his new foreman, Tina,
Duane's daughter. She is beautiful, and though that makes
things difficult, Bo will not let his attraction to her stop
him from getting his life on track. Bo has nothing to offer
Tina, he just got out of jail, he lives with his grandmother
and he drives an old truck that only works some of the time.
Therefore, he must work hard to prove himself a valuable
employee. Tina does notice him and together they must learn
how to trust and love.
What I really enjoyed about WHY THE RIVER RUNS is how Joanna
Grace seems to be able to write an interesting story about
everyday people. Bo has had difficulties and received the
short end of the stick more times than not. But he has
overcome and not let it determine who he will be for the rest
of his life. Things are not easy and they face numerous
obstacles, but it culminates in a detailed story, with great
characters and a strong story line.
Joanna Grace has managed to make me a fan of contemporary
romances and I look forward to seeing what she has next in
store for us. WHY THE RIVER RUNS has everything you could want
in a great book, strong characters, realistic story lines and
a hard fought, well deserved ending.
Some call this river a taker of souls, a reaper. Sanguine is the Spanish word for blood and God knows plenty has been spilled in its murky depths. As Tina floats on her back, she couldn’t help but feel its more of an artery, giving life to its limbs. Not everyone would agree. Tough as nails, Tina Foster, doesn’t have time for a relationship. She’s far too busy running her family construction company. Tina’s take charge attitude may intimidate some, but to others, she’s a rock, a woman with a plan. Taming a heart this strong will take a man up for a challenge, and so far, there haven’t been too many contenders worthy of her time. Bo Galloway is returning to Riverview after a rough few years. He’s home to take care of his grandmother and prays for a chance at redemption and a fresh start. Untrusting of most women, he doesn’t know what to think of his new boss. He definitely didn’t expect to admire Tina Foster. Bo’s only shot at getting Tina to notice him is to be as strong as she is. Just like the waters of the Sanguine, Bo and Tina must find their flow. Will the waters sweep away their only chance at true love, or nourish a relationship as steady as the river itself?
