Looking for Leroy

Looking for Leroy by Melody Carlson

4 stars. Thanks to Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group, for sending me this book to read and review. I first “met” this author in her book The Happy Camper. I like her writing style… Hallmark movie in a book. Sometimes I need a break from the heavier reads and her books are easy to jump into, go by quick, and leave me feeling satisfied in the end. 

Looking for Leroy did not disappoint. I enjoyed the story line: girl meets boy at summer camp, they fall in love, she returns home and ends up back with jerky boyfriend from high school who ends up being jerky husband, now ex-husband present day. The boy returns home from summer camp and writes to the girl, but then his life up-ends when his father dies suddenly. He has to leave college to come home and run his family’s vineyard. He ends up marrying a local girl, has three daughters, and then loses his wife and is a widow present day. Leroy is the guy and Brynna is the girl. 

Brynna and Leroy are brought back together by fate.I appreciated the ups and downs of the story. An enjoyable,  light hearted read.
