TUCKER by Emily March

Every so often, I read a book and put off writing the review. Life gets in the way and then before you know it is time for the review. So I found myself reading TUCKER - ETERNITY SPRINGS: THE MCBRIDES OF TEXAS by Emily March for the second time. I was immediately reminded of some noteworthy moments that had taken residence in my memory. I remembered how much I had enjoyed TUCKER so I decided to sit back and revisit some old friends.

In TUCKER - ETERNITY SPRINGS: THE MCBRIDES OF TEXAS, Emily March works tirelessly keeping spirits on high even when life seems to enjoy doling out sucker punches. Emily March wants poor Gillian to pull up her boots and lose the poor me attitude. She creatively uses Tucker's optimism and survival skills to lead Gillian out of her doldrums. Emily March’s use of humor is infectious which makes TUCKER a welcome memorable addition to the Eternity Springs: McBrides series, following his cousin Jackson's story. It is about breaking out of a self-imposed mode and going by instinct. This series can be read out of order, but each story has been a delight filled with love, humor, and angst.

Hope springs eternal in this enchanting Texas town.
