Book Review of 'It's Your Love' by Rachel D. Russell

Hello Bookworms!

Illness continues to befall the Flores household. I finally gave in a few days ago and went to the urgent care and was tested for every virus imaginable. Thank goodness, I was negative for everything and diagnosed with a severe sinus infection. Fun! Two antibiotics later and I am on the mend but only thus. This nastiness really likes sticking around and now my son is also dealing with the crud. It never ends...

The only bright spot in my malady is the number of books I have been able to consume, and they are many. One book that I adored is the second book in the Fox Bakery series, so please enjoy my thoughts, and don't forget to scroll to the bottom and enter the wonderful giveaway from JustRead Tours!

When Grayson Fox is asked to return home to Deep Haven and run the wrangler activities for the local camp, the last thing he expects is to run into the one woman he never wanted to see again. Worse…she’s his boss. But Grayson has big hopes for a life back in Oregon, and he must keep the promise to the camp in order to keep his dreams alive.

Just because Beth Strauss has stuck around Deep Haven doesn’t mean she doesn’t want a bigger life. And becoming the camp assistant director is the first step to that bigger life. Of course, standing in her way happens to be the one man who has always managed to derail her dreams, way too arrogant Grayson Fox.

But if they want to keep the camp afloat and their dreams alive, these two must learn to work together. But will these enemies become sweethearts, and if they do, will they find something better than the dreams they’re striving for?

The next delightful installment of the Fox Family series!

My Review

It feels so good to be back in Deep Haven! This literary world always gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling when I am there, and I love it!! The small town vibe is always so pleasant and these characters are so lovable!

Grayson is back home in Deep Haven after being gone for six years. He’s hoping to temporarily help out as a wrangler at Trinity Horse Camp and then head back to Oregon where he can start living out his dreams of having a ranch of his own. What he doesn’t foresee is Beth, a girl with whom he didn’t leave on good terms, coming back into his life and turning his emotions upside down.

Beth is a sweetheart that wears her heart on her sleeve. She is a girl that is willing to help out anyone and everyone, always putting others ahead of herself. A promise she made to her father years prior has left her stunted in life and her fear continues to leave her haunted by her past. Having Grayson back in her life makes her question everything and see her situation from a fresh perspective.

Grayson and Beth are great together, but the back and forth between them got a little old for me. I found myself getting a little bored in the middle of the novel, so I instead put my focus on the supporting characters and I found that I enjoyed the story more that way. The family relationships are truly what made me fall in love with this novel.

The writing flows seamlessly as we watch Beth and Grayson not only wrestle with their feelings for one another but also with their dreams, and what they truly want out of life. The character growth is evident as the story progresses in a satisfying way. It was a sweet read that was engaging, endearing, and full of faith and good vibes.

My Rating: ★★★★
