This was a slow read for me. At times it felt repetitive, however I still ended up enjoying it. The characters and the overall story were interesting enough, although I did crave to have a little more depth to the story and all the emotions that were brought forth. I was able to relate to the mom who was in her late thirties with a young teenage son though. So many of the emotions expressed in their relationship with each other were very authentic. I also enjoyed the setting of the lake. I was e...

This is #1 in the Moses Lake inspirational series. Story notably has great characters as well as wonderful quotes ~ posted on the Wall of Wisdom of the “Waterbird” Bate and Grocery Store, Moses Lake, Texas. There is a bit of mystery and yes a sweet romance in this story. Story alternates between the POV of Mart McClendon aka hunky game warden and Andrea Henderson a young mom who is recovering from a broken marriage. She and her son ~ Dustin have returns to her parent’s vacation home to try to pi...

"A kite is like a man's life," my granddad had said as I weighed the choice between letting that kite soar and holding it down. "No matter how much he tries, he can't make it more than a piece of paper and a ball of twine, on his own. He's got to give it over to something bigger, let the Good Lord breathe into it. After that, he just has to do two things -- turn his eyes toward heaven and keep hold of the string."Lisa Wingate is a master storyteller and I found myself, once again, completely ent...

meh

I love it when people realize that God is with them, and that He really does have a purpose for them.

Rated 3.5 stars

SUMMARY: Adventure is the last thing on Andrea Henderson's mind when she moves to Moses Lake. After surviving the worst year of her life, she's struggling to build a new life for herself and her son as a social worker. Perhaps in doing a job that makes a difference, she can find some sense of purpose and solace in her shattered faith. For new Moses Lake game warden Mart McClendon, finding a sense of purpose in life isn't an issue. He took the job to get out of southwest Texas and the constant re...

3.5 Stars

3.5 I think this book might technically be Christian Fiction. This book included family drama, romance and suspense. Although at times this book was a bit contrived and preachy, I enjoyed getting to know the characters and settings and may read the next in this series in the future.

I needed this book - I've always enjoyed Lisa Wingates stories... And I'm not sure this is any better than her other ones - other than it was what I needed right now :o) Some of my favorite lines... "Joy, I realized, isn't so much a circumstance you find yourself in but a choice you make." or "Maybe he saw in me a man who'd been raised going to chruch every Sunday, and gotten mad at God, and quit. Maybe he could tell that deep down inside me, there was a part that'd started to face the fact that...

Two lives connected by one small child…Recently divorced Andrea Henderson moves herself and her teenage son to her parent’s vacation home in Larkspur Cove, in Moses Lake, Tx. Professionally, she has to start over and takes a job as a counselor in the area on the other side of the lake – a side her family avoided. She finds out how difficult this can be her first day when she gets a flat tire on the way to her appointments. While stuck out there with little phone reception, she sees a man drive p...

I fell in love with all the characters of this book. It has amazing quotes that I could apply to my own life. You will not be disappointed by this author.

It was okay. Kind of basic and formulaic but I was curious so was enjoyable enough to read.

I’m a little bit conflicted when it comes to the rating for Larkspur Cove because despite the slow start, I did end up really enjoying the read. The characters drew me into the story, and I loved the first-person narration of Andrea and Mart. It was cool to get the story from both of their perspectives versus one or the other. The bit of mystery about the sweet little girl that Andrea saw with a local loaner really compelled me to keep reading. I wanted to find out just who Birdie was & how she

This felt more like Chick-Lit to me with a bit of mystery. I don't gravitate toward Chick-Lit but I like this author. So with that thought I went into this one and I don't feel disappointed. Andrea is recently divorced with no place to call her own. She and her son move into her parents' lake house until she can find her own place. She needs to heal from a broken marriage and start a a new life as a single parent. I liked Andrea as an MC. Her role as mother was well done. Although I wanted to re...

I love Lisa Wingate's books and yet this one didn't take that love all the way to the end. I lost interest about 75% into the book and truthfully didn't feel emotionally invested. The characters had some pull for me but eventually I just wanted the book to end.

This is the second book by Lisa Wingate that I've read. There's something about her writing that draws me in. She creates realistic characters that I come to care about. There is mystery,suspense and romance in this book. Also, in this book there is more scripture and sayings that cause a person to ponder, but they come in the form of sayings posted on the little store at Larkspur cove. I will definitely read more of Wingate's books.

Disclaimer: I don't usually read inspirational romances. I tend to not like them, since most of the ones I've read have been way too heavy-handed on the religion and thin on the relationship between the two main characters. This is an exception.Larkspur Cove is an inspirational romance set in Central Texas that does very well in making life, and it's characters, real. The heroine, Andrea, is a divorced woman, looking for meaning in a life that's been shattered by her husband's actions. She's upt...

OK - this has a sequel so maybe it will be better
