The Color of the Season by Julianne MacLean
5.0
The Color of the Season by Julianne MacLean is a 2014 publication. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
What a wonderful story this turned out to be. This is a beautiful and haunting love story that you simply must add to your holiday reading list.
Josh has a spate of bad luck when the woman he was in love with broke things off right as he was about to propose. Right on the heels of this development, Josh is shot in the line of duty. While on the operating table, Josh has an out of body experience as things were touch and go for a few tense moments. While recovering from that strange experience the most unlikely thing happened. He meets up with an old childhood friend, Leah James.
As children Josh was best friends with Leah's brother, Riley, but due to circumstances beyond their control, they ended up losing touch over the years. When Leah tells him how Riley has had a rough go of things he tries to locate him again, for Leah's sake. This is when Josh realizes his life has a new purpose and direction and it's somehow connected to his old childhood friends and family.
Josh is a sweet man who gets a wake up call when he is shot and soon finds out all about the childhood friends he was once so close to and how their lives have developed over the years. He meets Holly, Riley's younger sister who was just a baby the last time he saw her. Together they forge a bond as they search for Riley and deal with their growing attraction to one another. All these events bring together two wonderful people and they each learn the path they were so sure of just a short time ago, was not the path they should be on. As a result big time changes start to take place, opening the door for new love, the healing of old wounds. The story deals with loss, family dynamics, forgiveness, and second changes, healing and hope. A truly riveting tale of how love can give us the strength and courage to put a stop to things which are wrong and start making them right again. Touching details add to the poignancy of the story and will have your swiping away a few tears here and there but the ending is so uplifting you will have a full heart by the time you finish the last page. Well done! 4.5 rounded to 5
