A Reading Feast of Many Courses

Review of Handfast, by Tricia LaRochelle


There is something uniquely satisfying about reading a later installment to a series that both wraps up a story arc and hints at a new adventure on the horizon. So it is with Tricia LaRochelle's Handfast, the third of her compelling, romantic Sara Browne Series. We come to a happy ending after a sexy and thrilling adventure, but we know this is not the final chapter. Since I didn't want Sara's story to end, I closed this book with a smile and kept my eye out for the next episode in the series.

 

(Sure enough, Bleeding Heart, the next Sara Browne exploit, is coming this December. My preorder is in.)

 

An aspect of LaRochelle's writing that I enjoy most is her ability to alternate light-hearted, sexy romance with white-knuckle suspense, making her stories a swirl of two distinct flavors that combine for a satisfying blend. Sara faces plenty of danger and intrigue in this third installment, right down to a life-and-death nail-biter. But she also finds and celebrates the deepest aspects of her heart, soul and body, through her deep love of Scott, her growth into a strong-willed person, and her blossoming into a delightfully sexy woman. I enjoy foods that blend salt and sweet to create a unique taste that enhances both. The Sara Browne series is a literary analog that delights my reading palate.

 

I can't wait for the next serving.

 


 

Oh, by the way, Killing Buddhas — the latest installment to my Eden Ridge Story series is coming November 12!


Already, some kind words have been published about it:


Philosophical, suspenseful, and witty. Heath expertly blends spiritual insight with sharp humor, immersing readers in a world of moral complexity, conflict, and murder.  Fans of spiritual fiction and anyone in search of a thought-provoking yet exhilarating story will discover plenty to enjoy in this fascinating tale.
