"Searching for Home" by Jill Weatherholt -- Book Review, Blog Tour, and Giveaway

 

About the Book

Book: Searching for Home

Author: Jill Weatherholt

Genre: Inspirational Romance

Release date: December 28, 2021

Can three little matchmakers lasso a cowboy father?
When injured professional bull rider Luke Beckett returns to his hometown to recover, he doesn’t expect his B and B host and physical therapist to be his first and only love, Meg Brennan. He’s also unprepared for Meg’s adorable triplets to steal his heart. Luke’s past has him doubting he’s good enough for Meg and the children, but they might be just what the doctor ordered to help him heal…

My Thoughts 

It was fun to be back in Whispering Slopes and see familiar characters. It isn't absolutely necessary to read any other books to understand what is going on in this book, however. Some of the characters are mentioned/seen in passing mostly. There was a mild faith thread in the book. I liked the characters well enough. I did get a bit annoyed that it kept being mentioned that "Meg never contacted Luke after he left when he poured out his heart in the letter, so she must not care anymore, if she ever did". I felt like shaking her to get her to actually read the letter instead of just jumping to conclusions. I look forward to reading more books by Jill Weatherholt.

More from Jill

It happened in slow motion.

I was traveling on the interstate at 65 mph, in the far-left lane. The traffic was heavy but moving.

Then the unthinkable happened. A wheelbarrow fell off the back of a pickup truck in front of my car.

Swerving to my right lane wasn’t an option, it was full of cars. The left shoulder was narrow and led to a steep drop off.

I gripped the wheel and had a split second to weigh my options. If I maintained my course, the wheelbarrow would burst through my windshield. If I went to the right, I could cause a multi-car pileup. There was a tractor trailer close behind me, so I couldn’t hit my brakes.

I prepared myself for the worst. Then I prayed to God to help me.

Moments later, when I was safely off the interstate, I burst into tears. I was still alive. No one was injured. But how? I couldn’t recall how I got to the exit ramp. How was I able to guide my car around the wheelbarrow?

Later, I realized that God was truly in control of my life. Growing up in the church and listening to my grandmother, I had always known God loved me. But that day, I felt His love more than I ever had my life. He wanted me to live. But why?

I’d like to think that He wasn’t quite finished with me. That maybe He had better things in store for me. Perhaps He blessed me with a gift to weave together a story that can give a person hope. A story that can bring a little light into what is sometimes a dark and scary world. After all, I didn’t grow up wanting to be a writer. Like that day on the interstate, it’s all God’s goodness.

Thank you for your review on "Searching for Home" by Jill Weatherholt and for being part of the Celebrate Lit blog tour.

Jill's book ALWAYS are added to my TBR list as soon as they are first talked about. Then I look forward to the day I get to read it. She has a way of telling a wonderful story that also make us think how we can relate it to our own lives through the thread of faith she writes in them.

The cover is adorable and would have me picking up the book just on looks alone.
