Book review - Trust in the Wind by Vicki M. Taylor


What do you get when you put together a young single mother and a widowed deputy sheriff? A touching love story that you’ll want to read again and again. Vicki M. Taylor’s latest release, Trust in the Wind draws together two people who have sworn off love and makes them believe in its power.

Joanne Malone lost all she had when she went against her parents’ wishes to become a single mother to her son, Joey. Living in an apartment complex in an undesirable area of town, Joanne and her friend Sheila are accosted on their way back from the community laundry room by a group of drunken hooligans. In walks Roy Bonham, a deputy sheriff for Hillsborough County. He is instantly taken with the much younger Joanne, but the loss of his wife and child in a burglary a few years back has left him with a huge hurt and he has vowed he will never love again.

Roy keeps coming back to the apartment complex where Joanne and Joey live not knowing why he feels the need to stay in contact with them. Joanne’s and Roy’s friends discourage any type of involvement between the two. Roy is much older and has a dangerous occupation, Sheila warns her. And Roy’s best friend Tony questions whether it’s a good idea for him to get tied up with a young girl and her kid.

But the more time they spend together, the harder it is for Joanne and Roy to deny their deepening feelings.

Taylor weaves a group of unforgettable characters and real life issues into a story you won’t be able to put down. As you watch Joanne and Roy’s relationship unfold, you’ll laugh with them, cry with them, and cheer when true love conquers all. This is one novel that should be on everyone’s bookshelf, but it will never be there long, because you’ll be dying to read it again as soon as you’re done.


Look for my upcoming interview with Vicki M. Taylor on Tuesday, June 19th.

Lorrie, Hi, Trust in the Wind can be found at any online bookstore like Amazon.com or BN.com. It may or may not be in your local bookstore. But, if you ask for it, they can look it up on their computer and order it for you. OR... LOL, if you want an autographed copy, you can e-mail me offline and I can give you the details.

I want to thank Cheryl for an awesome review. You truly captured the essence of the book. Thanks!

Thanks for stopping by Lorrie. It really is a fabulous book. I added Vicki's website to this blog entry so that people can find ordering information for this and Vicki's other books.

Thanks for being so quick to pop in and answer Lorrie's question, Vicki. I'm glad you like the review.

Thanks for stopping by Lynn. I can't tell you how much I loved this book. It is a bit like Sully and Michaela from the perspective that they both deny themselves of love because they don't want to "need" anyone again.

I hope you'll let me know what you think of it if you buy it.

That was a heart jumping review. I'm not one to read romance novels. But this is one I'd like to have as part of my collection.
