I would like to share a new Romance book that showcases real-life events we all face. Under the Light of a Texas Moon by Lanae Joy (Author), Cheri Paris Edwards (Author). I was given a PDF copy of the book from Voracious Readers in exchange for this review. Inside this post are my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage off the items you purchase.
Under the Light of a Texas Moonis a book that will surprise many of us to find out the main character takes us thru her hardship of losing a parent, a partner & becoming homeless. The story begins with her living in her car reminding me of the time my friend Liz lived in her car with her daughter and there cat.
Under the Light of a Texas Moon showcases how the author works to rebuild her life, finding somewhere to new live. We see her getting a job & her choices along the way. The character has a few stumbles along the way but in the end she grows from her experience & finally finds love. Making this a true happily ever after story and a romance book that I will read again and again because it showcases things any of us could face in our lives at any time including becoming homeless which I was at one time.
About the book:
9 out of 10 stars!
A 2023 Booklife by Publisher’s Weekly Fiction Awards Semifinalist
“Joy brings sensitivity and gentle wisdom to this sweet story of finding love and steamy attraction despite enormous personal challenges.“
“Few love stories begin with the lead heroine living in her car. Joy avoids more conventional tropes to deliver a relatable and believable novel that readers will quickly become invested in.” – Booklife
“I absolutely adored this novel.
It follows three main characters who are at different stages in their life. The book was easy to follow and a brilliant read. I highly recommend it.” – Voracious Reader Review
Genelle Golden hopes a move to the Southwest will give her a chance to restart her life but when her plans fall apart she finds herself living in her car. Desmond Wright is an ex-military man dealing with an entitled adult daughter and his mother, who won’t let him forget he’s still single.
And that’s just the beginning of the story.
