HEROES 2020: Moms of 2020’s Essential Workers

Moms of 2020’s Essential Workers have vivid memories of the little boy or girl that they raised hoping that they would be strong and independent, and all the while wanting to protect them from harm and life’s uncertainties — today many of these women will sit at home, safely sheltered, while that now-adult-little-boy-or-girl is out in the world making a difference, saving lives, enabling life and “fighting” in this COVID-19 crisis to survive and help others survive.

And let’s not forget Moms who are
themselves essential workers.

Today is a day to honor Moms and say Thank you.

First Responders
Delivery Drivers
Farmers
Funeral Directors
Morgue Attendants
Mail Carriers
Military Members
Repairmen/women

Book Review: The Deep of the Sound: A Bluewater Bay Novel by Amy Lane

The Deep of the Sound:
A Bluewater Bay Novel

by Amy Lane

Cal McCorkle has lived in Bluewater Bay his whole life. He works two jobs to support a brother with a laundry list of psychiatric diagnoses and a great-uncle with Alzheimer’s, and his personal life amounts to impersonal hookups with his boss. He’s got no time, no ambition, and no hope. All he has is family, and they’re killing him one responsibility at a time.

Avery Kennedy left Los Angeles, his family, and his sleazy boyfriend to attend a Wolf’s Landing convention, and he has no plans to return. But when he finds himself broke and car-less in Bluewater Bay, he’s worried he’ll have to slink home with his tail between his legs. Then Cal McCorkle rides to his rescue, and his urge to run away dies a quick death.

Avery may seem helpless at first, but he can charm Cal’s fractious brother, so Cal can pretty much forgive him anything. Even being adorkable. And giving him hope. But Cal can only promise Avery “until we can’t”—and the cost of changing that to “until forever” might be too high, however much they both want it.

Customer Reviews (excerpts)

5 Stars     Fishing on the Puget Sound reviewed by PansyPetal
Avery and Cal developed a lovely romance. The author did a very nice job developing these characters, giving each of them very different, but equally traumatic, challenges to overcome before they could have their happy ever after. This couple spent a bit of time just talking and getting know one another, supporting each other in some of their daily life drama. It made for a nicely paced, enjoyable story.
5 Stars     The Deep of the Sound, (A Bluewater Bay Novel) reviewed by Jeannie Zelos book reviews
Hurrah, more Bluewater. I love this series, each author puts their own style to the series, but the connection to the main story is always clear. Amy is an author new to me and I loved this book and will look out for more from her. Its a really enjoyable read, marrying romance with a story that’s full of sadness and drama, tenderness and emotion, problems and solutions and ending in a HEA – my favourite. It’s not necessary to have read other books, as with each in this series it’s a standalone read.

4 1/2 to 5… tears… All the feels and so much to love…
