My thoughts
A Kiss, a Dance & a Diamond is book six in the Cedar River Cowboys series. This story has Kieran O’Sullivan, recently divorced, moving back home to Cedar River to work in the local hospital. Nicola Radici is also back home, with a heart-wrenching break up behind her, she has returned to care for her two orphaned nephews after the sudden death of her brother and his wife.
Nicola and Kieran
have history and fifteen years is not long enough for Nicola to forget or
forgive the way they last parted.
I really
enjoyed this story of second chances. Nicola was feisty and strong. She had been
left broken hearted too many times and she wasn’t going to give her heart away
easily. Her first concern was always her two nephews, Johnny and Marco. The
young boys were a significant addition to the story which had them acting out their
grief and insecurities which left Nicola feeling like she was stumbling alone
through parenthood not knowing if she is doing the right thing. She finds
herself turning to Kieran for help and advice. But they both needed to get over
past hurts before they could move on and open their hearts.
The story is
a fun read; Nicola with her feisty temper and Kieran trying to find ways to be
involved in her life. The two young boys and Kieran’s family all working
together to show Kieran and Nicola that they were meant to be together showed
what a close-knit community Cedar River is.
This is a
heart- warming story about loss and hurting, finding love and carrying on with
life, letting go of the past and embracing a second chance at happiness.
A quick
romance read that will give you the promised happily-ever-after.
My rating 4/5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟
