Tucker
Hope springs eternal in this enchanting Texas town.
Meet Gillian Thacker. Her business: Bliss Bridal Salon. Her passion: Weddings. Her own wedding: It’s complicated. Life isn’t turning out like she’d planned. The last thing she wants is for a real-life hero to ride to her rescue but when an unexpected event puts her entire future in Redemption, Texas, at risk. So what’s a broken-hearted bridal expert to do? Maybe a new set of survival skills is exactly what she needs…
Tucker McBride has been proud to call himself a U.S. Army Ranger. But now that his days of service are over, he’s decided to put his expertise to use by founding a wilderness skills training school. He sets up shop in Redemption, next to Bliss Bridal, and so begins life: Part Two. Marriage has been pretty low on his agenda, but as soon as he meets Gillian, Tucker can’t help but contemplate the ultimate challenge: Convincing the reluctant bride to take his hand and leap into the adventure of a lifetime. . .until death do they part.
MY REVIEW: "Tucker"--Book 2 in author Emily March's "The McBrides of Texas Series"--returns readers to the quaint little town of Redemption, Texas.Tucker McBride and Gillian Thacker first meet when he offers her assistance as she straggles along a road after a car accident preceded by a big fight with her fiance, Jeremy. It turns out that they have mutual acquaintances, are basically headed in the same direction, and have an immediate awareness-attraction between them. Tucker helps here to get to where her fiance is waiting to pick her up, and then heads to Enchanted Canyon, a property he inherited along with his cousins, Boone and Jackson. A former Army Ranger who has left his military career behind, Tucker greatly enjoys the outdoor life. Gillian and her mother own a successful bridal shop in Redemption, and Gillian also plans to open an event planning business with Jeremy. Imagine her surprise a few months after her roadside rescue by her motorcycle-riding knight, Tucker, when he opens up a survival school in the very building she planned to buy for her second business. Neither Gillian or Tucker have forgotten that sparky feeling between at their first meeting, and with her niggling doubts about Jeremy, it's definitely not a good idea for Tucker to be so close on a daily basis. When Gillian's relationship with Jeremy ends for good, things really start to sizzle in her growing connection to Tucker. Now that he is free to fully pursue Gillian, Tucker is prepared to pull out all the stops to show her that she is the woman he wants in his life--can he convince her that he is the real man of her dreams?

to reach a happily-ever-after
Jackson McBride came to Redemption looking only to find himself, not someone to love. Ever since his marriage ended, he’s been bitter. Sure, he used to believe in love—he even has the old song lyrics to prove it—but the Jackson of today is all business. That is, until a beautiful young widow who’s moved to town inspires a change of heart. Could it be that the myth of Redemption’s healing magic is true…and Jackson and Caroline can find a second chance at a happy ending after all?
MY REVIEW: "Redemption"--an essential concept meaning recover, regain, reclaim. "Redemption, Texas"--a small town destination for a man and woman each seeking a new beginning. In "Jackson", by appealing storyteller Emily March, Jackson McBride and Caroline Carruthers have a brief first meeting in Redemption when he is there to check out a property that he and his two cousins have inherited, and she is there to fulfill a promise to an acquaintance. Later, they will both return to the little town to overcome personal heartache and seek solace in starting life anew. Jackson's songwriting career in Nashville is on the wane, and Caroline, a writer, wants to open her own bookstore. His marriage is over, and he is separated from his beloved daughter, Haley. After a difficult illness, Caroline's husband has passed away, she is struggling with the loss. A friendship--and something more--grows between the two of them, and glimmers of hope shine here and there. Is it possible that this unexpected awareness--something they weren't seeking--is exactly what they most need? "Jackson" is the first book in a new trilogy which is a spin-off from Emily March's hugely popular "Eternity Springs Series".
