The Getaway by Emily March - A New Series

💖💖💖💖💖
I loved The Getaway by Emily March, book one in her new Lake in the Clouds series, follows the Prentice family as they deal with real-life situations and emotions; among which are love, grief, sibling rivalry, coming of age, letting go and romance.

 

Genevieve was widowed young and raised her four children basically alone. Her close knit family was broken into pieces three years ago and decides that for once in her life, she needs to let go and focus on herself. Genevieve decides to invest in a lodge with her sister in Lake in the Clouds, a small, quirky mountain town in Colorado. Her children are shocked to realize that she sold her house and most of her things to move and change her life. Genevieve and her sister, Helen, love the tiny mountain town and quickly became involved in the town’s activities. They are both surprised when Jake Prentice shows up in one of the cabins at the lodge. And that he has quit his job. Jake Prentice, the oldest of Genevieve’s children, has taken on extra responsibility since the day his dad died when he was fifteen years old, and still believes he’s the leader of the family. When told that role was never his to assume and that he is not to continue, Jake becomes confused about whom he is. Jake does connect with a former colleague, Tess, igniting a romantic bond, one where they balance each other’s personalities. The road to self-discovery and self-healing is often difficult and this family will need to face this journey head-on.

Ms. March wrote an amazing story full of a mother’s love, sibling disagreements, beautiful scenery, forgiveness, and gratefulness; including some of her own family experiences, adding a charming, personal touch to this tale. With a touch of Celeste Blessing’s healing touch, hearts are healed, just as in the Eternity Springs series. I highly recommend The Getaway to other readers and look forward to finding out what happens to this adorable family in the next book in this series.
