The Barefoot Bride

Shaana Juntunen Cooper

I enjoyed this book mostly because I saw my husband in chickadee so many times. I even read some of this book out loud to him. This was a great plot and I was fully immersed. The only part that pulled me out was towards the end when chickadee was using love making as a way to give the hero a therapy session. As someone who was emotionally abused by family, there is no way that he would be able to recall his abuse and continue their activities. This was a great book otherwise and I do like to read books that openly talk about familial abuse because it happens so much more often than people realize. That one scene just wasn’t it for me.
