Review
This is a love story about Perris and Noah Dalton. It is set in Hawk Point, Wyoming, and takes us on a journey that somewhat encompasses a 5 year period.
Perris and Noah were married but divorced 5 years ago. The reasons behind the divorce were extremely personal and private, but the love for each other was still there.
Fast forward to the present, and it has been five years since Perris and Noah have crossed paths. But their paths do cross due to Perris’ work, and a protestor targetting her employer.
This story covers environmental issues, self esteem issues, cancer and its impact on life and love for its survivors, and a pure love that is destined to be requited.
The emotions between Perris and Noah are sweet, their commitment to each other is clear, regardless of their resistance to revisit what they once shared. 5 years is a long time to work through the issues and barriers that ended their marriage in the first place, without factoring in the fact they had both moved on, grown and matured (well at least a little bit).
The story is sweet, it is not what I expected and it covers some very current issues that place obstacles in our way as we journey through life to find happiness.
Unfortunately though, it seemed like nothing really happened in the story. It was slow paced, with an extensive amount of time setting the scene and filling in some back story, but little time getting to the point.
The drama that the blurb implies was very anticlimactic and somewhat non-existent. I found this story challenging to complete because of the pace of the story. The content and the premise behind the story are good, but something was missing for me. That said, I am pleased I read the book through, because if you a looking for a sweet love story this is probably for you.
The author has the ability to tell a tale, but as a standalone I found it somewhat lacking in intensity.
