New Release- Review of A Love Redefined by Dora Hiers

 

For the last year, Beryl Rimerly locked herself in the kitchen, creating and testing recipes, so that she could enjoy this month in Butterfly Bend, relaxing on the beach with her sisters. But a call from her agent dashes that dream, and now she's back to page one. With stinging reviews like "outdated" and "something my grandmother would make" along with declining sales over the last couple of releases, Beryl must deliver recipes that attract a younger demographic or the publisher's dropping her. She can't afford any distractions, even ones as handsome and delectable as Ford Lewiston. Besides, her heart is off limits after being burned twice by men looking for a free ride into retirement. She had her one true love, and she's prepared to go through life alone.

At seventy years old, Ford Lewiston yearns to hand over the reins of his successful vacation rentals business to his son. But Brock doesn't seem enthused, and Ford's praying for the best successor to carry on his legacy. Since his beloved wife passed, he's not in a hurry to retire. But an unexpected encounter with the lovely Beryl ignites an itch to spend lazy afternoons walking the beach with her, to spend the rest of his days showing her that she's still beautiful and that those ugly reviews don't define her. He offers to photograph her dishes, and soon he realizes that her career is on the verge of exploding while his is fading into the sunset.

When a random incident and meddling sisters throw Ford and Beryl together, will Ford find a reason to retire? Are faith and family the perfect recipe to convince Beryl it's time to hang up her apron for good? Can Beryl and Ford make room in their hearts for love and redefine their futures?

MY REVIEW

Beryl, an author of cookbooks for many years gets shocking news while on a well-needed vacation with her sisters at the Butterfly Retreat. Beryl, has a fainting spell while standing by her car and Ford stops to assist her. Their unexpected meeting is about to turn both their lives upside down.

The storyline is about second chances for romance regardless of your age, a strong faith in God, and family ties.

One of Dora's best. A must-read.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and voluntarily chose to review it.
