Month of Thanks #28: Barefoot Season by Susan Mallery and JuJu from Tales of Whimsy

Hi Y’all! It is November and that is always the month I am reminded that there are tons of things that I am thankful for in my life. This year November will be known as the Month of Thanks. I am going to do 30 days of Thanks here on Geeky Bloggers Book Blog! Each day I will highlight one author (and the book they wrote that moved me) and one blogger (and their awesomeness) that I am thankful for! These are not in any particular order and by no means is 30 going to cover everyone that I love.

I am thankful to Susan Mallery’s Barefoot Season.  I don’t read straight Women’s Fiction very often so I am thankful when I am convinced to read one that delivers.  Barefoot Season was one of those books that I really enjoyed even though I wasn’t sure I was going to in the beginning.

Michelle Sanderson may appear to be a strong, independent woman, but on the inside, she’s still the wounded girl who fled home years ago. A young army vet, Michelle returns to the quaint Blackberry Island Inn to claim her inheritance and recover from the perils of war. Instead, she finds the owner’s suite occupied by the last person she wants to see.

Carly Williams and Michelle were once inseparable, until a shocking betrayal destroyed their friendship. And now Carly is implicated in the financial disaster lurking behind the inn’s cheerful veneer.

Single mother Carly has weathered rumors, lies and secrets for a lifetime, and is finally starting to move forward with love and life. But if the Blackberry Island Inn goes under, Carly and her daughter will go with it.

To save their livelihoods, Carly and Michelle will undertake a turbulent truce. It’ll take more than a successful season to move beyond their devastating past, but with a little luck and a beautiful summer, they may just rediscover the friendship of a lifetime.

I am thankful to JuJu from Whimsey Tales!  She is a fellow audiobook lover and I love that we connected.  She is one of the most giving and sweet women in the blogsphere.  She is very adept at picking great reads and I trust her audio judgement completely.  You should check her out!
