3 out of 5 stars
WAITING FOR SPRING was a good story with likable
characters.
Charlotte heads to Cheyenne hoping to put her marriage and
the death of her husband behind her.
With her son in tow, she decides to open a dress shop in Cheyenne, but
keeps her last name and her grief-filled past a secret from the
townspeople. Modest success rewards her
with a stable home for her son, but the distances she puts between her and
those around her becomes more difficult as time goes on. Wanting nothing but a future for her son, Charlotte
feels the only way to do that is to guard her past.
Barrett Landry is looking for something more in life. Though he is a successful cattle baron,
Barrett feels he needs to do more to prove to his family he is of worth. Running for political office seems like the
right move to make, but having to marry a woman he doesn’t love in order to
better his position becomes more difficult as his attraction to Charlotte
grows. Befriending Charlotte and her son
brings Barrett true joy, but will do nothing for his political
aspirations. A choice that will change
his life forever must be made.
I enjoyed WAITING FOR SPRING. It didn’t quite have the snap that SUMMER OF
PROMISE had, but the story was still entertaining enough to follow. I liked the characters of Barrett and
Charlotte, and the chemistry between them was good. I just grow tired if a character constantly
bemoans the fact that they are no good for the other person. Self-deprecating comments drag on me after a
while. But other than that, the story
moved well and had a fulfilling conclusion.
