About the Book
On his third tour of duty in
Afghanistan Lt. Col. Bev King signs up for the parcel service. He likes the
contact from home, appreciates the generosity and thoughtfulness of his
benefactor, and is intrigued by this woman who lives in the same town as his
grandmother. Jude Travis loves sending care packages to servicemen and is
thrilled when "her squaddie" replies. A rapid letter exchange
follows, and when he comes home on R&R they meet. But Jude is being
stalked, and Bev might just get snagged in the crossfire. Will this whirlwind
romance cause repercussions? Could coming home be more dangerous for Bev than
staying in a combat zone?
My review
I enjoy Revell’s Flowers Can Be
Fatal series. These gently linked stories that mention characters in other
books and sometimes involve them are all stand-alone romances with a bit of
bite. In this story, Jude Travis has a special affinity for soldiers since
members of her family have also been in service. She supports Her Majesty’s
troops overseas through letters and care packages. She owns her own bakery and
spends her spare time keeping up with her business. She’s on the lonely side,
but doesn’t have much time or interest in a social life. She also has a
sneaking suspicion someone from her past is showing up at all times in all
sorts of crazy places, but she can’t prove this person means her harm. When it
becomes obvious she’s in danger, she does what she can to protect her new love
interest, the soldier she’s been writing to on leave at home, Bev, and her
heart.
The recipient of her latest
personalized and warm-hearted care packages and letters, Bev King finds himself
attracted to this writer like no one else When he’s fortunate enough to meet
her, it’s pretty much lifelong love at first sight. Jude is an enigma,
attempting to be confident and independent, yet facing a nameless fear she won’t
share. When the stakes are raised and Bev is pulled into her trauma, potential
repercussions abound. Protecting Jude could be more dangerous than active duty.
Told through interchanging
viewpoints, Forget-me-nots is a compelling, short drama of inspirational
romance and suspense. I listened to the audible version and enjoyed hearing the
British nuances that don’t look the same on a printed page.
About the Author
Clare is a British author. She
lives in a small town just outside Reading, England with her husband, whom she
married in 1992, their three children, and unfriendly mini-panther, aka Tilly
the black cat. They have recently been joined by Hedwig and Sirius the guinea
pigs. Clare is half English and half Welsh, which makes watching rugby
interesting at times as it doesn’t matter who wins. Writing from an early
childhood and encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy
stories through fan fiction to using her own original characters and enjoys
writing an eclectic mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When
she's not writing, she can be found reading, crocheting or doing the many piles
of laundry the occupants of her house manage to make.Her books are based in the UK, with a couple of exceptions, thus, although the spelling may be American in some of them, the books contain British language and terminology and the more recent ones are written in UK English.
The first draft of every novel is hand written.
She has been a Christian for more than half her life. She goes to Carey Baptist where she is one of four registrars. She can be found at:
