The Right Resolution

I enjoyed the story. The characters were likeable; the setting was interesting, and I liked how the main characters worked through their changing relationship.

I enjoyed the descriptive word imagery Ms. Ethridge used. For example: "oversized raindrops that landed with more force than a water balloon fight between children". She used descriptive words and/or phrases throughout the book. I definitely recommend this book.

I was given an ARC of this book from the author but this review is my honest opinion, given voluntarily.

Such a nice and easy read. Characters are well developed, and the storyline flows nicely!

Eve Larson arranged a solitary New Year’s celebration at her mother’s beach house to give herself the space to evaluate her recent hurts—the death of her mother and a broken engagement. She wants nothing more than to put them behind her and make a fresh start on January 1. When her ex-fiance’s brother, Spencer Canley, shows up with one final demand from her past, Eve worries her plans are sinking like a ship off her beloved Texas coast. Circumstances keep Spencer at the beach longer than either of them initially want, but the delay gives each of them the opportunity to see the other in a different light. As Spencer makes a decision that changes everything about his upcoming year, he realizes he doesn't want to repeat his brother’s mistake of pushing Eve away. A year ago, the changing of the calendar brought news that changed Eve’s whole life. Could this new year bring love back?

This is a clean book, with an element of Christianity. Eve doesn't believe in God after the last year she has had. Spencer does believe that God guides us in where we are supposed to be, when we are supposed to be. Can they overcome their past and find a future? A great read.
