Finding True North

This is the first book I have read by Audrey Wick. If I am not mistaken, Finding True North, the first in the Texas Sisters Series, may be Audrey's first published novel. It was very interesting and I thought very well written. She does a great job of developing the characters in her story. The small town atmosphere of Sequin, Texas was one many could appreciate. Her main character Paige Frederick is a recently divorced young mom. In the first scene of the book she has just left the court house signing her final divorce papers. Stopping by the local supermarket, she literally runs into an old high school classmate. Everett Mullins is in town for an extended stay to help take care of his aged mom, who is going through some rough chemo treatments. Of course Everett, being the shy guy that he was in high school, had a crush on Paige but never said anything. He was afraid to pursue her since she was a very popular cheerleader. They make a lunch date for the following week and nature or fate takes over from there. Will Everett get his second chance to find love with Paige? I found this to be a nice clean love story that I truly enjoyed reading. I would highly recommend it. I received a copy of this book from Tule Publishers through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I really enjoyed reading Finding True North by Audrey Wick, book one in The Texas Sisters series. This is my first book by Ms. Wick, but definitely not my last. This sweet and wonderful story is about two lost souls and a white lie that could destroy a future between them. Paige loves living in her small town, riding her bike nearly everywhere, and working near the courthouse square. After her divorce, she believes she is the focus of the gossip mill as well as her neighbors. The day her divorce is finalized and she gains full custody of her 2-year old son she runs into Everett, a former high school classmate while she is grocery shopping. Everett has temporarily returned to his hometown to help care for his ailing mother and run the family farm. Paige was his high school crush and while talking during their unexpected run in, Paige lied to him. Paige and Everett meet for lunch and text back and forth, building the foundation of a relationship. Once Everett learns of the lie he is unsure that he can trust Paige. As Paige begins a new life, can Everett help her find her direction? I loved seeing the growth Paige and Everett gained from spending time together. They made each other happy, putting smiles on their faces and feeling more satisfied with their lot in life. Everett was a compassionate hero who while living with memories of his late wife was in need of loving and trust from Paige. Paige needed to trust her instincts more and believe she could do it on her own. These two were so perfect for each other, helping each other find their true north. I totally loved reading this book and didn’t want to put this book down. Ms. Wick wrote a wonderful story which drew me in, making me forget the world around me and did not let me go until I turned the last page. I highly recommend this book to other reader and look forward to reading the next book in the series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

This is my first book from this author, Audrey Wick but believe me it will not be my last. Write her name down folks and remember her. She has a a wonderful way of writing that drew me in and kept my throughout the entire book. I am one of those people who find an author who calls to me, you are mine for life. So now to the book. This is a Second Chance Romance book in my eye and heart...and yes it is Texas too. So can't wrong much there. Paige and Everett knew each other as kids well teenagers. Now to meet again as adults live could not be better right. To re-meet your first love when you have matured and grown up. WELL, hold that thought. We have Paige here on the left full of all kinds of mixed messages and Oh yes a lie. Little white lie but a LIE is a lie. Then we have Everett on the right and he is one of those shoot from the hip, kind of dudes. You get what you see. See the issues my friends? Well, maybe you do and maybe you don't. I really enjoyed this book probably more than i should have as it was somewhat like my life (minus the lie). I am so looking forward to the second book in this series. I have a feeling that some of the questions many folks are asking to be answered we might just see answered in future Texas Sisters books.
