CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, DEVELOPMENT:
Although the feelings between Adam and Alice seem to happen quickly, the reader must realize in the pioneer west women are in short supply; this alone facilitated quick marriages. I loved the slow way Adam and Alice realized their attraction. Of course, Adam is reluctant as Alice looks so much like Holly; he is still grieving her death. Handsome Widower’s Second Chance is a sweet clean romance between two grieving people.
Romance is not the central premise of this story. Atkinson demonstrates the low depths we can fall into when grieving for a sudden and expected death. Nathan’s character’s such a person; insane with grief and blaming Adam gives him an outlet for his pain. However, he takes it one step further by kidnapping Alice and the children; as well as, threatening to kill Adam. Nathan is a follower, as well as weak; he fell in with a dangerous group with no regard for women or life. I wondered what will happen next. Will Nathan and the gang success in his quest for vengeance? Atkinson kept the suspense at a high pitch as Adam races to save Alice and the children.
MY OPINION:
I found this novel, a clean action love story filled with suspense and thrills. The plottings smooth and flowed well with well-developed characters. I found Atkinson‘s writing style easy to follow which made this perfect for a lazy weekend of reading. I would not hesitate to buy this novel for my self or a friend.
