What if you could find the love of your life just by reading between the lines?
Single mom Fordham Price is juggling her job at a small publisher, her precocious ten-year-old daughter, and her feisty mother. She wants to find time for men, but after a series of dating disasters, her relationship status is still stuck at single.
As if her macchiato lite wasn’t already overflowing, a co-worker gets pregnant, and Fordham is expected to step in and deliver the company’s latest reality read from the Flowers from the Heart series. She must now supplement her own romantic misadventures with tales of cynical cat-ladies, identical-twin husbands, spunky monks, and countless other web-crawlers. As she wades through the submissions, she finds one from a widower whose story gives her tingles in all the places she forgot existed. His words draw her in until she finds herself daydreaming about him more than she’d care to admit.
Could she have a love like that, or will her romantic fate be forever bound to her philandering ex-husband?
After a certain age, can you find love?
Love-Lines by Sheri Langer is a story about second chances or third chances at finding love. No matter what age you are. The main character, Fordham Price a woman in her forties, who is trying to make life work after a divorce, raising her ten-year-old daughter, working a full-time job, and trying to date.
Fordham Price
She is our main character and the one that we follow throughout the book. Fordham is trying to be a good mom to her ten-year-old daughter, Whitney, but sometimes she has to work long hours so that she can afford the stuff that her daughter wants. This is always a hard thing, and Fordham is torn down the middle. She is trying to date, as well. For Fordham, that isn’t easy at all.
What I like about Fordham is that she is a good mom and anyone can see that as she tries to put her daughter first. That isn’t easy for her since putting money into the bank is also very important since her ex-husband isn’t helping her at all. She is taking everything in strides, and then her boss throws her this new opportunity of being an editor.
The loves
Fordham’s love life is very complicated.
Her first love throughout high school was Aaron. He was her first love and good for her back when she was a teen, but it isn’t right now. He wasn’t hers to have once he went away.
Fordham had a college boyfriend, Joe. They were casually dating until she meant her ex-husband.
Gil was right for her until he wasn’t. She is still dealing with that break up a bit throughout the book until she figured out that she is “worth it” without him. Fordham needed to get her confidence back.
Then there is her “Prince Charming” that she hasn’t met but fell head or heels for him.
Four stars
Love-Lines by Sheri Langer is my first book by this author. I was a bit worried when it was pretty slow at the beginning of the story, but it did pick up. Other than that it was a great book that I am giving it a four-star rating. I am recommending it to all Romance readers out there.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Love-Lines by Sheri Langer.
Until the next time,
Happy Reading!
