Good light romance. Plot develops well, resolution a bit too easy. Look for others by author ( )

a light at winters end by julia london
Hannah who's heavily been taking drugs has left her son with Holly telling her that her husband has left her and she
is leaving (going into rehab). Holly loves the baby even though it's a disruption of her life. Hannah's husband won't come
get the baby either, tells her she can still write her songs and handle it.
Holly heads back to the house where her mom lived, she left it all to her. She meets her neighbor while trying to take care of
Mason and to continue with her writing of songs.
Wyatt is a helpful neighbor=checking on her chimney, gas oven, fences, etc

he gets weekend visits with his daughter and they have playdates and become very well acquainted with one
another. Her sister is going through rehab and seems to be healing.
Through their struggles Holly takes his advice and furthers her songwriting skills.
It is made all complete by the end with some turnabouts.
I rate this a 5 as so many things are brought up and dealt with that only a strong character
could achieve. ( )

Well, this wasn't my favorite novel, but, all in all, it was really a decent read. I think my bit of unhappiness with this novel, comes from the fact that it is a sequel and I failed to read the first one. That being said, Julia London IS a talented author and one who can really pull her readers into the novel.

On more than one occasion, I felt as if it was me falling for hunky cowboy Wyatt Clark. I felt like it was me who wanted to mend his broken heart and fall in love with him. The problem I had with Holly was, she was a songwriter. Me....NO WAY. So it was really hard to feel like Holly when she was in song writing mode. But, when Wyatt entered the picture, oh man. All I wanted to do was hug him and tell him it was okay! He was such a wonderfully created character! He really added the depth to this story.

I do give this book recommendation with 4 stars. The characters are blended, the plot line is awesome, there's just the right amount of smiling humor, and the romance is sweet. I will, however, recommend to you, unlike what I did, that you read the first book, Summer of Two Wishes. I do have Summer of Two Wishes here to be read, and had I realized before hand on reading Light At Winter's End that it was the first book, I would have read it first. ( )
