Book Review: Bachelor to the Rescue by Lorraine Beatty
Book Description:
Building a Romance
Young widow Lainie Hollings will do anything to protect her daughters—even if it means accepting help from Shaw McKinney. Though she blames Shaw for her husband’s death, he’s the only one she can turn to when a robbery forces her to take shelter in his home. Soon she’s surprised by the handsome contractor. He’s kind, charming and determined to protect her and her girls. Being with Lainie makes Shaw want to give up his bachelor life and become a family man. But he’ll need to win over the pretty librarian and prove to her he’s the right man for her future.

I really enjoyed this book because it took an interesting plot and ran with it. Lainie is a widow with two young daughters trying to make a fresh start. She’s barely made it to the town line before trouble starts and it doesn’t let up. Everything that can come against her does. The hardest thing? The man Lainie feels is responsible for her husband’s death is the only one available to help her. That sets up immediate conflict and I loved that.
I also loved the conflict. As an author I’ve learned our job is to give each scene, each chapter an action and reaction. Keep the conflict. Raise the stakes. [tweetthis]Bachelor to the Rescue is a great model of how this is done.[/tweetthis]
By the end of the book I felt like I knew Lainie, Shaw, the girls and the townspeople. It was a fast read and a very satisfying one. Bachelor to the Rescue belongs in your beach bag for your summer reading.
