A Soft Place to fallxx
Maine Annie lost her husband a couple years ago and sells their house to start over in a smaller place Her husband had a compulsive gambling problem that she kept secret that ruined their lives and cost them everything Sam is hiding out in Shelter Rock Cove courtesy of the FBI He s a financial planner who is state s witness against his former employer and needs to stay off the grid Annie and Sam hit it off immediately though both are keeping secrets from the other Despite the insta love I thought there was a lot of potential with the story line and their respective secrets Unfortunately the story is mucked up with the POV of Annie s mother in law Claudia.

It took me a long time to finish this one I liked the story but the pace was really slow I kept putting it down and reading other things A Soft Place to Fall Shelter Rock Cove 1 Great romanceGreat romanceVery good read about a 38 year old Annie whose husband had a gambling problem that put them in debt and had a heart attack Annie tried to let everyone believe they had a happy marriage and not give a bad name on her husband She worked extra jobs to pay off his debts She ended up having to sale her house and moved to the cove Sam left New York and went to the cove escaping for a while before he might be sent to jail for embezzlement He met Annie in the parking lot at the grocery store which you will have to read since it is a truly hilarious episode involving his dog Max and then when he broke into her house and saved her which you won t believe what happened until you read it Crazy yet a great funny happy type of crazy And then the events that follow and the people you meet A very good read A Soft Place to Fall Shelter Rock Cove 1 A little too lovey dovey for my tastes It seemed as if everything was beening viewed through this golden lense something that you expect to see in the classical romance movies The storyline wasn t all that there wasn t a real conflict between the characters It was along the lines of love at first sight and everthing else just falling into place after that A Soft Place to Fall Shelter Rock Cove 1 Not bad loved the inner dialoguesWhen you come right down to life there is so much that you hide Each of the characters had emotions and issues they hid from the world What could have been a dry novel about small town life was instead an experiment in the things left unsaid No one was perfect everyone was real The plot was the issue for me I believed it could be saved up to the climax But non mortal resolution to issues of that nature are unlikely After all Dead men carry no tales A Soft Place to Fall Shelter Rock Cove 1 loved Sam and Annie s story. A Soft Place to fallus but wish there was focus on their relationship then the rest of the characters in the book A Soft Place to Fall Shelter Rock Cove 1 A young widow from charming Shelter Rock Cove Maine Annie Galloway has finally found the strength to start a new life All she needs is courage and time The last thing she needs is a handsome charming next door neighbor A Soft Place to Fall Shelter Rock Cove 1 I spent quite some time deliberating how I would rate A Soft Place to Fall Almost as much time in fact as I spent contemplating DNF ing it. A Soft Place to fallujah You see the dilemma is this the writing is technically good Not quite a four star as it is overpoweringly flowery in places and declines in quality mainly in punctuation towards the end of the book as if the editor got bored but still easily a 3. A Soft Place to falluja The worst part is the characters With the exception of Warren who doesn t get much page time every single character is at least a little bit annoying Our main characters aren t too bad but they aren t exempt from this If it isn t Anne belittling herself because she s ten pounds overweight then it s Sam telling us how he s not good enough or has failed at life or whatever I m just like get over it Anne no one cares apart from that interfering old bitch in the supermarket but she s an interfering old bitch and therefore her opinion is unimportant And Sam stop being such a bloody martyr You ve raised your five siblings you clearly are not that bad Ugh Shut up with the pity party already both of you. A Soft Place to fallquest Hall reminded me of Andrew in Sweet Home Alabama in that he s this generic perfect man who only really exists to allow other characters a bit of angst and to be interfering and opinionated And once that role is over he like Andrew is all sweet and graciously fades into the background like the non entity of a character that he is. A Soft Place to fallquote Sweeney is fairly amusing but a goes on about tarot etc far too much and b feels caricature than character Susan is winy and wanders around bitching about her mother being interfering while she interferes herself Her mother is the worst of all though. A soft place to fall by allison moorer Claudia yes Claudia Claudia is pretty much singlehandedly the reason I thought about DNF ing every few pages She was so aggravating I could feel my blood pressure rising at the mere sight of her name And that was quite a lot because the secondary characters play a large role and indeed narrate Claudia is annoying self centred opinionated hypocritical delusional judgmental interfering stupid stubborn GAH I m getting a headache just thinking about her I tend to write notes to myself in ebooks and this time like 90% of them are like FUCK YOU CLAUDIA s because she is just that bad The plot is ridiculous too Infertile Annie gets pregnant I swear romance novels are better fertility boosters than modern medicine Forget IVF let s bottle this junk. A Soft Place to fally lyrics I can t cope with this kind of extreme chick lit provincial melodrama tripe The writing is decent but everything else is godawful She s 38 Only ten pounds overweight heading into middle age is nothing It wouldn t even be anything if she were 28 ffs A Soft Place to Fall Shelter Rock Cove 1 This book is about Annie who s thirty eight years old she was orphaned at sixteen and taken in and made one of the family by her boyfriend Kevin s mother Claudia She went on to marry Kevin in what everyone thought was the perfect marriage after all they were both so in love with each other it couldn t be any other way Now widowed two years Annie is struggling with the crippling debt left by Kevin s gambling and trying to move on with her life which would be difficult enough under these circumstances but when you ve spent your entire life in the same small town where everyone knows everyone else and secrets are hard to keep it s even so Into Annies life bounds Sam and Max now Sam s hit problems of his own and he s taking a break from life in the small town where he spent a summer when he was younger and his friend Warren owns some property and Max well he s a yellow lab who in the space of a day eats all Annie s pizzas in her car making a real mess then proceeds to save her life. A Soft Place to fallxe I loved this book the small town feel and characters were great it had humour and most importantly in had a great romance with two people who truly deserve each other but will they end up together or will life get in the way after all between them they carry enough baggage to sink Warren s boat A wonderful book I enjoyed every page A Soft Place to Fall Shelter Rock Cove 1 Sam and Annie s story is worth three stars unfortunately a lot of time is spent on other characters POVs and that made parts of the book draaaaag It didn t help that most of the secondary characters were jealous and rampantly selfish While rooting for Sam Annie I kept hoping a storm would come In and sweep away at least 3 other characters A Soft Place to Fall Shelter Rock Cove 1 Annie Galloway and Sam Butler are couple one in this series set in Shelter Rock Cove sister in law Susan unrequited love interest Dr Hall and his partner Dr Ellen. A Soft Place to fallwright Claudia has built a shrine to her late husband and thinks Annie should do the same fpr her husband Claudia s son Susan keeps trying to hook up Annie and Hall and feels jealous of Annie s disastrous marriage despite having a wonderful loving husband of her own Hall is desperately in love with Annie despite four kids three ex wives and not one speck of interest on her part Dr Ellen just seems lost The other characters are so ridiculous they took the story sideways so far the secrets that Annie and Sam are keeping have little to do with the story and only come out in the last few pages of the book. A Soft Place to fallwa There was a lot to like with Annie and Sam and I wish the story had stayed there A Soft Place to Fall Shelter Rock Cove 1 I have to agree with many of the other reviewers as there are too many POVs and it really caused the story to drag The story itself is interesting and I did enjoy the progression as well as the thought that went into the story.
