Romance

Ms. March is an author that will have you laughing through tears. As I was reading Reunion Pass I kept hearing a voice in the back of my head repeating the adage "life happens." That is so true. Realism is not always pretty and the painful moments outweigh the lighter ones but experience and maturity gives a better road map to follow as we muddle through the hard times. Chase and Lori were young and wanted different things. Now with more years under their belt, can they find the courage to try again. A hopeful, endearing gift. ( )

**** 4 1/2 Star Review ****

Wow! I was not expecting to fall in love with this book. It's nothing against the author. You all know I don't usually go for a "typical" romance book. This one sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a go. It definitely was not "typical" and was beyond what I had expected!

If you are expecting a sweet and loving read with this book, think again. This book is a tear-jerker. And if you know me, I do not say that very often. There were many parts I was covertly wiping my eyes (so much so, the husband thought I was picking my nose) and sniffling like a baby. This book will not only touch your heart, but it will break your heart.

Emily's writing is so unique and well-developed. I couldn't put this book down. Her characters are so full of life, energy, emotion. They are real and raw. Her story-telling is just the brand I love. I held my breath through so many parts of this story that it's a wonder I don't have brain damage from the lack of oxygen.

I would highly recommend this book to just about anyone, no matter your preferred reading genre. This book is one of those that will be universally loved by all. ( )

Reunion Pass is the 11th book in the Eternity Springs series. In this installment, the book focuses on Chase Timberlake, the man that years ago had the perfect love with hometown girl Lori. He is now returning to Eternity Springs resembling nothing of the man he was before he left. The dazzling story Emily March brings to the pages revealing the renewed love between Chase and Lori expresses such depth of style to the story that her characters feel real between the pages of the book.

Another Emily March stunner! I was drawn into this book the minute I started reading it! It was quite an emotional journey as all of the Eternity Springs books are. I laughed! I cried! Lori & Chase were in love. Lori was going to college & planning on going further to vet school. Chase was running adventure hikes & developed a taste for photography. When Lori said she couldn't commit until after school, Chase took off. He ended being a part of a reality tv show & became engaged to the star of the show.

This is a perfect second chance story. Lori & Chase drifted apart when she wouldn't commit while she was in college. Would they find their way back to each other? What about Lana, his fiancee? What happened to change Chase so much on his last trip? Could Chase ever recover? Could Lori trust again?

You will fall in love with these characters & Eternity Springs! Each book is one in the series but they can stand alone. You just get so involved in the lives you have to read each story, not just for the new story, but also the updates on everyone else's lives. The writing is so powerful, you feel the same emotions as the characters & feel like you are a member of the town & community. I couldn't put it down & now I'm impatiently awaiting the next one!! ( )
