Book Reviews of Blessed Twice
Book Review: Blessed with another wonderful book by Lynn
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never posted a review on Amazon yet but Lynn's latest book, Blessed Twice, has compelled me to do so. I have read all of Lynn's books and this one is her best in my opinion. It still contains her wonderful sense of humor and we get to visit with some of the Virginia Friends. But it also gives us a different dimension as we see both Briony and M struggle and then deal with the healing process of the issues they face through patience, compassion and love. You can't help to also fall in love with Briony's son Caleb as you witness his wonderful friendship with Hank, a friend who has his own special needs.
As with any Lynn Galli book, she gives us humor, a wonderful storyline where I couldn't put the book down until it was finished and the sex scenes in this book were more special with Briony trying to deal with the loss of her 1st partner and M discovering love for the first time. Plus the added bonus about this book is I was educated about a real life issue as we follow M through her healing process. I laughed, I cried and I loved the support and understanding provided by Jessie, Quinn and Willa to both Briony and M. If you haven't read the previous books by Lynn, I don't think you need to read them first as Lynn does a great job of quickly explaining the role these 3 Virginia friends played in the previous books. But I strongly encourage you to read them as I've enjoyed them all.
Summary of Blessed Twice
The problem with starting over in another state after losing your partner is that your new friends don't understand why you can't just get over it. They never saw how you were together, how much you loved her, how she was your life. They only see a number: three, as in, the number of years since she died. That's all the evidence they need to begin pressuring you to get back out there again. It doesn't matter that you've told them to back off. No, they feel it is their duty to butt into your life and ambush you with blind dates.This wasn't a predicament Briony Gatewood anticipated when she relocated for tenure at a prestigious university. Yet after a year with her new friends, they've ceased being merely concerned and moved on to obnoxious. As if being fixed up wasn't bad enough, the dean at her college just volunteered her to teach a potentially career damaging class. Along for the experimental course is the socially challenged M Desiderius, a fellow professor who won't ever win a faculty popularity contest. But as they start working together, Briony begins to understand M's aloofness and is intrigued by the shy, brilliant, passionate woman. Enough so that she's starting to believe her friends when they say it's time to move on. And M, as complicated as her past has been and reticent as she seems now, may be the perfect person to help Briony finally heal and love again.
