Awakening Avery (A Second Chance Romance #3)Awakening Avery by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Awakening Avery by Laurie Lewis was the complete package. I can honestly say this book had me hooked from page one.

Avery has written a few books and has recently lost her husband. Herself and her children have been devastated. She decides she needs to go spend the summer somewhere else to find herself. She ends up switching homes with another widow who she has seen many times before while on vacation.

Nice and simple right? Well the temporary switch is anything but simple. Gabriel is basically kicking his two daughters out of the house for the summer. Giving them a dose of tough love. He has sheltered them and they are both grown women who need to learn not to depend on Daddy.

Avery introduces Gabriel to an author’s books that she says was her mentor. Gabriel was hooked from the beginning. There are so many characters in this book and they all end up intertwined.

This really was a great read that will leave you have a happy, sweet feeling and it will also have you nearly in tears at times. A book you do not want to skip over.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Awakening Avery (A Second Chance Romance Book 3) Laurie Lewis is a beautiful second chance story. The story is one of healing and finding yourself after the death of your other half after being with them for many many years. This heartfelt and thought provoking story is moving and evoked many emotions as we travelled along with our main character as she struggles with her grief and subsequent depression and inability to move forward. Along her path of rediscovery and healing she meets many characters who are grieving and like her many are struggling to find that sense of purpose in their life. I must admit it took me a while to get into the story but once I did I became invested in each and everyone of the characters.

I look forward to reading other things from this author

Awakening Avery is the third book in the Second Chance Romance Series by Laurie Lewis. I have read a few of Ms. Lewis’s books now and I can always count on her to give me something to sink my teeth into- something that will move me, and something that will keep me well and truly entertained. I have come into this series by reading the third book first- I know, I am a bit backward lol. Needless to say, that this book can be read as a standalone, but it has intrigued me enough to want to know what happened in those first two books, so I will definitely be going back to read them in the near future.

I found this to be quite a thought-provoking story, as I could really relate to Avery and her stage in life- so it really got me thinking about what I would do and how I would cope given the same circumstances that Avery finds herself in. Because I am not so sure I would do very well at all. Which makes me admire Avery all the more for her strength, even as she struggled with depression, grief, feeling lost and somewhat stuck- and unable to move forward. But, she does just that- and it’s through this wonderful story that we get to accompany her on this journey to find herself, and begin to ‘live’ again.

As always, Ms. Lewis writes characters who really make the story special- the story itself is interesting- but it’s the characters who really make this story- they are portrayed in such a way that the story becomes ‘real’… entirely believable, and very relatable.

A wonderful second chances story.

 

Thank you, Ms. Lewis!

Awakening Avery is a Second Chance Romance book by Laurie Lewis. I had read a book by this writer before that I enjoyed a lot so I decided to pick up a copy of this one. I was slightly surprised to find that she is a Christian writer as there was nothing remotely indicating that in the first book I read by her. Generally I do not go for Christian stories as very often the writers include too much of their religious views than telling the story but I have to say that the way Ms Lewis is telling Avery’s story, it does not bother me. In its essence it is a story of a woman who has lost her husband, her children have lost their father and the family and the people in their orbit simply question their faith or lack of it. We all have something we believe in and whether it is Christian or something else, Ms Lewis has asked us to listen to how her characters see it.
I loved that the heroine of the story is not a young(ish) person but someone who has lived, loved and lost; it is not so often we see that. The writer takes Avery (and us) on a journey of healing and she (and us) meets different people and it brings us laugher, tears and takes your breath away!
