The Bachelor Contract by Victoria James
The Bachelor Contract by Victoria James, book two in
her Maple Hill series, is a heartwarming, sweet
and romantic story where two lifelong friends find forever with each other. The
story highlights the need for family of the heart, and forgiveness for your
well being.
Years ago,
May Peterson lived next door to the Merrick family. While her family life was difficult
and she felt unloved, the Merrick’s took her under their wing, filling her with
a love. Callie, their daughter was her best friend, and Austin, one of the elder
brothers, became the boy she crushed on. Not only because he was cute, but
because every weekend he would come and sit with her on the swing in her house
and shared her fears and secrets. May has returned
along with her adoptive child, Caroline, hoping to restore and sell her
childhood home, and start a new chapter of her life, far away from Maple Hill;
putting those awful, heartbreaking memories behind her. The Merrick
brothers work in construction with Austin being the one in charge of
renovations for May’s house. Austin is living the life he thinks he wants, when
May and Caroline open up a different option for him; that
the crush would become more than that. They are both interested in
seeing if this attraction can develop into more; but she is only planning on
staying in town a few weeks to sell her home. Just when things seem to
be going their way, an unexpected event might destroy this already fragile
relationship.
This is a story about family or lack of; about
finding love and realizing that trusting someone with one’s heart is the great
joy one might experience. It’s
also a reminder that events in a person’s childhood, will affect the adult they
become. The story was engaging
with wonderful characters; at times heartbreaking, but also heartwarming.
I highly
recommend The Bachelor Contract to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a
complimentary copy of this book.
