Promises In Tumble Creek

Tumble Creek #3

by Louise Forster, Emma Powell (Illustrator)

In the small town of Tumble Creek, secrets aren't kept for long...

From the outside, Adele Valentin knows she looks strong, capable, unflappable. But when she loses everything, she can only think of one thing to do: run. A friend's house in the small rural town of Tumble Creek is a ready–made sanctuary, and Adele flees the big city without ever looking back.

The timing has never been right for Takumi Edwards to express his feelings for Adele, the beautiful, mysterious woman who visits occasionally but haunts his dreams nightly. But now she's here to stay – at least for a while – and he will never have a better chance.
But Adele is struggling with both past decisions and how vulnerable Takumi makes her feel. When her past follows her to Tumble Creek, Takumi is the only one who can help resolve both what came before and what could be ahead. If Adele is only strong enough to ask.

About the author

Louise Forster grew up in a Victorian country town. She ran barefoot along dirt roads and loved looking through the leaves of tall eucalypts at the azure summer skies. Eventually, she grew up, and the country town became a suburb of Melbourne. Running barefoot to catch her train to work would have caused more than a few raised eyebrows so she opted for stilettos, of course. At eighteen, Louise travelled through Europe, parts of Africa and the Pacific Islands. These days Louise lives on the far north coast of New South Wales on a small property that includes her extended family, three dogs, three cats and all manner of wildlife.

Happy reading ~~~ Louise.

[BookAddict · Rating 2 out of 5]

Small-town romances usually appeal to me, and I really wanted to like the early copy I read of this book. For me, it lacked the quaint, welcoming feel, and the quirky, charming peripheral characters that bring color to this type of setting were missing. I liked the two main characters, Adele and Takumi, well enough, as well as the secondary characters, but I never really became invested in the story. There were long paragraphs of descriptions, reminiscing, and introspection that made the story drag rather than moving it forward. The plot was decent, but the storyline never grabbed my attention and I had to force myself to finish the book. I think this author has skill, I just wish the book had managed to catch and keep my interest.

For me, this was an okay read and would be perfect for a lazy afternoon but I have to admit it was a little slow going at times and really seemed to drag. I liked both Adele and Takumi and the plot was pretty decent and while I did not love it I didn't hate it either worth a read you may like it more than me
