Daisy Whispers | Marie Johnston

Alder Duke, who knew you were going to be the best book boyfriend to ever live in Coal Haven, ND?  After his divorce left him gutted he wallowed a bit, but then decided he was going to be a better man. Alder worked his tail off and earned his position as CEO at King Oil. Back in his hometown and in the midst of his grandmother meddling trust…but will this work out for Alder like it did his sisters?  

Daisy Duke is a single mom to daughter, Lilah and in desperate need of a place for her and daughter to live. Life hasn’t been easy for Daisy but she is doing the best she can and working hard to live the life that she wants. I love that Daisy isn’t a warm and fuzzy kind of girl, while she loves hard and big she holds so much close to her. I also love that she is living the life she wants, not the life that would be easiest for her and her daughter, in turn making her life just a little harder but she was not going to be unhappy. Just then her ex-husband of 15 years shows up in town proposing a way to help them both out.

I am not usually a huge fan of second chance romances but Marie Johnston can write the heck out of a second chance and this one was top tier. The book was filled with tons of emotion. I found myself so connected to the pair and was rooting for them from page 1. I think what stuck out to me most is that they both worked hard for their happiness- Alder worked hard to show Daisy how much he loved her and how much he changed, and Daisy worked hard to allow herself to be loved. Another amazing Coal Haven book, and I cannot wait for what is next…I know it is going to be amazing!
