Let me start by saying that I love Susan Mallery’s writing. I just finished the second book in her newest trilogy about a town called Fools Gold and it was a great read. I do a ton of reading and this book at the end brought tears to my eyes. It isn’t often that a book has that effect on me and this one did, there were several times that I laughed out loud and others that just about brought tears.
The book is about a single mom who gets an email from a niece that she never knew she had and picks up her son and heads to her hometown of Fools Gold. There is a history there that she really doesn’t want to relive but endures because she has to for her little family. Her sons father tends to be a self centered jerk but in the end actually seems to grow up.
Start with the first book in the series “Chasing Perfect” and move on to this one, it gives a bit of the back story on the town and why Ethan is considered the golden boy of Fools Gold and why the town people tend to be a bit protective. Even jerks can change their ways and do the right thing for love.
