REVIEW:

Fresh Start at Bluebird Cottage by Susan Schild is the third long awaited book in her An Azalea Lake Sweet Romance series. Susan took some well deserved time off and I am so glad to have her back! I love her over 40 romances. I can certainly relate to later in life romance. There are even folks my age falling in love. It is so refreshing to read about romance in my age group.

We met a lot of the characters in the first two books. It was wonderful to be able to spend time with them again and see where their life has led them since we last were together. Cricket married her neighbor who is a contractor and they are living in their fixer upper cottage on Lake Azalea. Cricket runs a home health care company out of her home and I love some of the folks her business helps stay at home.

So much is going on in their lives and there is never a dull moment. If you love older romance, a lot of action going on and things that will keep your interest and attention from the first page, you will love this book. You will love this series. I’m not ready for it to end but, I think this is the last book. She did wrap everything up nicely for us. There is not any wondering what is going to happen in the future.

Check out An Azalea Lake Sweet Romance series. It definitely deserves a spot on your nightstand. If you love Christmas books, you may want to check out her other series as some of them have a Christmas book in them. Until next time..Happy Reading!

SYNOPSIS:

USA Today Bestselling Author Susan Schild presents the third book in the beloved small-town Azalea Lake Sweet Romance series!
Cricket Darley has finally learned to trust again after being abandoned by her ex-husband, and she’s found the man of her dreams! Just three months ago, she married her next-door neighbor, contractor and all-round good guy Hank Mayfield. The two are thrilled at being together in their fixer-upper cottage on picturesque Azalea Lake, but life’s ups and downs are coming so fast that the newlyweds haven’t even had time to go on a honeymoon.

Hank is troubled by problems at work but clams up every time Cricket tries to talk to him about it. Cricket’s employees keep leaving her senior caregiver business, and she’s extra-busy helping her beloved aunt recover from a nasty fall.

Will their long-awaited honeymoon to the North Carolina mountains draw them even closer, or push them further apart?

But even greater challenges greet them when they arrive home. Does Cricket’s newest hire have sticky fingers? Will Hank have to resign from his own family business? To add to the drama, Hank’s scheming ex-wife still seems intent on stealing him back. Will their relationship survive the showdown?

Marrying after forty can be complicated, but can the newlyweds overcome their differences and move forward to build the joyful life they’ve always dreamed of?
