Book Review: Lavender Rain by Rita Garcia

It was a pleasant surprise to learn Rita Garcia was returning to Serenity Cove with her third novel in the series, Lavender Rain. This is Maggie’s story and although sometimes a series grows stale, that is not the case with Lavender Rain. If anything, I think this might be the strongest book in the series, and that’s saying a lot because I really enjoyed the first two.

Rita takes us through Maggie’s journey where she has Pastor Jim waiting on an answer to his proposal, but her former flame, Nick Callahan returns. She’s missing her mom. And then Maggie finds a lump.

I read Lavender Rain in one sitting because I was captivated by Maggie and the conflict surrounding her. Rita developed a strong heroine here who has to learn medical terms and options and face the side effects and unexpected head on. Yet, Maggie is human and Rita does an excellent job bringing Maggie’s fears to the surface. I loved the verse the book started with. It was just the right touch.

I won’t give any spoilers but I hope she has a fourth book planned. I’d love for Maggie’s journey to continue.

As she’s done with the other Serenity Cove novels, there are a plethora of folks sprinkled throughout that are more than characters. They feel like neighbors.

This is a book full of conflict, romance, friends, and faith.

I hope you plan to pick up a copy of Lavender Rain and join Serenity Cove today.

I received a copy of Lavender Rain from the author as a gift. There was no expectation expressed that I review it. That was my choice and pleasure.
