Can love bloom between Alice and Adam? My western romance book reviews of Handsome Widower's Second Chance follows.

CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, DEVELOPMENT:

Although the feelings between Adam and Alice seem to happen quickly, the reader must realize in the pioneer west, short of women to help with the chores and the household, were scarce. This alone facilitated quick marriages. I loved the slow way Adam and Alice realized their attraction. Of course, Adam is reluctant as Alice looks so much like Holly; he is still grieving her death. The Handsome Widower’s Second Chance is a sweet clean romance between two grieving people.

However, romance is not the main premise of this story. Atkinson demonstrates the low depths we can fall into when grieving for a sudden and expected death. Nathan's character's such a person; insane with grief and blaming Adam gives him an outlet for his grief. However, he takes it one step further by kidnapping Alice and the children; as well as, threatening to kill Adam. Nathan is a follower, as well as weak; he fell in with a bad group of low down cow punchers with no regard for women or life. The reader wonders what will happen next. Will Nathan and the gang success in his quest for vengeance? Atkinson kept the suspense at high pitch as Adam races to save Alice and the children.

I found Handsome Widower’s Second Chance, a clean action romance with suspense and thrills. The plotting's smooth and flowed well with well-developed characters. I found Atkinson's writing style easy to follow which made this a book perfect for a lazy weekend of reading. I would not hesitate to buy this book for my self or a friend.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, though I don't think I would. I like cowboys but the pioneer west isn't really my favourite time period. That being said, I loved your review.
