NOVELLA REVIEW | ‘As Easy as Cherry Pie’: A Sweet Little Indie Romance
Austin Williams is in trouble. The business his father built is slowing crumbling under terrible debt and the relationship with his brother, once as close as any other siblings. The two have since fallen out, and Austin takes the responsibility of saving his dad’s business, and prolonging their father’s memory as long as he can. What he doesn’t expect is Libby, a woman who may be in need of healing, but also may be a balm to Austin’s troubles.
Until I Met You by Tari Faris | Book Review
REVIEW | The second in Faris’ Restoring Heritage umbrella, this novel feels like a kind of delightful read ideal for any of us (and let’s face it, if we’re reading, we probably all are) who are a bookworm. The librarian character helps to drive this point home, and Austin, though rough around the edges in an almost brooding sort of way, becomes a hero we root for.
This novel is kind of like a two-for-one love story with its chapter by chapter switch offs between Austin, and his brother Nate. Of course, also in this mix is Libby, and her eventual roommate, Olivia. What’s interesting about Austin and Libby is their unresolved issues of the past. Both have things they cling to without really coping with them (in the best way), but both also learn how to move past this darkness. I’m not a fan of the two love story plot, but the way this connects (because of the brothers) makes it a little easier to read.
Until I Met You is a nice, autumn-esque read, especially for those of us who enjoy a softer, but still emotional romance novel in the tradition of Becky Wade or Susan May Warren.
