Talk to the Heart
Rose Hill #3
Rachael Johns
Reviewed by Helen
I was wondering how Rachael Johns was going to redeem Adeline Walsh, although she loves maremmas she was not the nicest of people, in the first two stories in this series, but woohoo Rachael Johns you have done it so well, I loved this story so much, Holden and Adeline, together, yes.
Adeline has just lost her beloved grandmother, Penelope and wants to write up an obituary to her in the Walsh Whisperer, finding her journals, she starts reading but what she finds changes everything for Adeline and she makes a decision to give up all of her worldly possesions, except Bella her beloved maremma and drive across the country and join a small convent in Smallton. Adeline feels very settled and is loving her life with the other sisters that is until Belle brings her in contact with neighbour Holden Campbell.
Holden Campbell has lived here in Smallton fostering young children with his brother Ford, a bad childhood and an accident when he was young see him have no plans to find love, his only plans are to care for the boys he has in his care now and that also includes rescue dogs who make a big difference, but when a maremma arrives with a beautiful woman following, Holden is rather shocked.
Adeline is doing what she can to become a nun and Holden bearded, tattooed and scruffy, with his opinions on religion are a very unlikely pairing but, Adeline is convinced God has his ways, will one kiss send both of them spiraling toward love or heartbreak?
This is a fabulous story, with feels of the wonderful movie, The Sound of Music, it is emotional, moving and heartwarming, the characters are wonderful, the foster boys, the dogs, I loved how both Adeline and Holden put the past behind them and moved towards the future.
I do highly recommend this one, there were tears and smiles from me while reading, it is a beautiful story, and one not to be missed.
My thanks to the publisher Harlequin AU and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
