Simmering Season by Jenn J. McLeod
5.0
Maggie Lindeman returned to her hometown of Calingarry Crossing with her teenage son, Noah. Maggie’s father has dementia and can no longer run the family pub. Maggie will take over until they can find a buyer and then she will return to her home in Sydney. Seeing her father's health decline is quite upsetting for Maggie at times. Maggie would've liked her husband, Brian to come with her, but he said he couldn't afford the time away from his music career.
Maggie has been kept busy since she arrived back and trying to find a buyer for the pub was turning out to be more difficult than she thought. Keeping tabs on her son, Noah making sure he didn't up to anything thing he shouldn't and also popping in regularly to see how her ailing father was going. He had his good days and bad days and as the days passed it seemed the bad were out weighing the good. Then there was the school reunion coming up which, Maggie was helping out with. Maggie was looking forward to catching up with old friends, but the one person she wasn't sure about seeing was, Dan Ireland. Maggie had a thing for him back when they were younger so she wasn't sure what kind of reception she would get although she didn't know if he was going to attend. Part of her wanted to see him again and part of her didn't. Will the reunion turn out to be an enjoyable day or could it be a day that most of them would rather forget?
Another fantastic read by Jenn J McLeod. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I'm surprised at just how quickly I read it seeing as its quite a big book. Once I started I just couldn't put it down and before I knew it I was on the last page. I really enjoyed Jenn's first book, House for all Seasons, but I LOVED this one and I can't wait to read Season of Shadow and Light. Hurry up 2015. I have no hesitation in HIGHLY recommending this book.
