Turnabout by Laurel Greer
5.0
Turnabout is a complete standalone, there’s no need to read any other book to love it, and it’s part of the True North series set in Sarina Bowen’s World of True North. And it is a beautiful book. Really worth reading if you ask me. It’s certainly an outstanding addition to the series.
Turnabout is a second chance romance with opposites attract and grumpy vs. sunshine, and it includes an unexpected snowstorm with only one bed and lots of laughter and beautiful stationary. I was especially captivated with the letterpress setting and in learning how the artisanal stationary magic works.
Carter Prescott and Auden Macarthur were happy once. When they were young and foolish and in love. But that was a long time ago.
Now they have regrets and hurt feelings, but their chemistry is still combustible. And the sparks they create are turning sharing a workplace into a fire hazard.
But when feelings get involved, they will have to decide if there’s still something between them worth fighting for, or if the love they once shared is destined to turn into ashes.
Turnabout is a wonderful story. What I loved the most is that it’s beautifully written. The writing is as lovely as the stationary Auden makes. It’s a joy to read. I also loved the characters. They are very well rounded and feel like real people with eeal feelings and real lives, and their journey is very well developed.
You have Auden, the Vermonty Scot with trust issues and a deeply rooted fear of change. He’s closed-off, stubborn and adorable. And then there’s Carter, the successful Suit who left home behind mostly because he felt like he didn’t belong. And pride. Their relationship was the casualty of too many words left unsaid and unshared feelings. But their love survived. They have both some growing up to do but they will definitely steal your heart from the beginning.
I loved Carter’s family, especially his Aunt Bee. She’s a meddler and definitely made it count. You get to see a couple of characters from other books in Vino and Veritas, both the bookstore and the wine bar, and that’s also really fun.
Turnabout is an emotional story filled with fun and heat and feels, that will leave you smiling and that you won’t be able to put down. I loved it and I highly recommend it.
