LIBBY/ BOOK REVIEW- Then You Came Along: A Novel Kindle Edition by Debbie Macomber

   

The right person could appear anytime, anywhere, in these two stories of finding love and creating family.  

Father''s Day

Robin Masterson’s little boy wants a dog more than anything in the world. And there just happens to be one right next door! But the friendly black Lab belongs to Cole Camden, the unfriendliest man in the neighborhood. Cole hasn’t always been so solitary, so aloof, but life has dealt him some harsh blows. Robin actually understands and shares his heartache, and soon Robin and Cole are looking at each other in a whole new way. They can make each other whole, and make a family again.

Same Time, Next Year

With a broken engagement behind him, James Wilkens decides to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas…where he meets Summer Lawton. She’s just suffered a painful betrayal, and James promises her that in a year, she’ll be over it. To prove his point, he makes a date to meet her in Vegas at the same time a year from now. Except it turns out to be more than a date—it’s a wedding!

 3 STARS

For me, the first book was sweet but also just okay in my opinion.  Robin's ten year old son Jeff was hilariously funny though.  And I did enjoy the relationship between Jeff  and Blackie (Cole's dog).  You could feel how tight they became.  It had a good if predictable ending  that was a H.E.A. making for a whole new family.

The second book for me was more of the same.  Sweet, somewhat predictable with a H.E.A.  The people are good ones but the story was hard for me to keep being interested in.   I guess that it was what I felt for both of the stories.  They were okay but not exactly thrilling.  But I took a risk reading this story by this author. Because I've read other books by her and found them either really good or just okay.
