About Cards of Love: Knight of Wands
A chance for a sweet future, or a recipe for disaster?
Kaitlynn
My dream was to cook my way to fame and fortune, not run myself ragged keeping my late parents’ quaint Savannah restaurant afloat. My sister is useless, I’m chronically short-staffed, and even Gertie, my antiquated oven, hates me.
Then in charges Oliver, like a Golden Knight. He’s hunky and charming and makes others feel at ease. He’s earnest and kind, optimistic and extroverted. My best friend. My sister’s ex. Picking up the slack like he never left all those years ago. Making my body shiver with the lightest touch, the slightest smile. It would be so easy to let him be my knight in shining armor. But I can’t let him, even though he makes Gertie purr like a kitten.
Oliver
I practically grew up waiting tables alongside KitKat. She’s a brilliant chef, but it’s clear she’s no manager. I’ve noticed other changes in her since her letters stopped coming to me in Iraq. There’s fire burning in her green eyes—and pain.
The kiss was meant to comfort. But it explodes into searing passion so white-hot, not even the tallest, iciest sweet tea can quench it. I shouldn’t try. She doesn’t want help, especially not mine. But a kiss like that is the beginning of a promise. A promise that won’t stop until I help her find her dream.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'm a fan of Claudia Burgoa's. she has a way of writing her books that just tugs at your heart. When i first read her books, i honestly thought that she was a lgtbq genre author, and wasn't following her religiously as i am now - why? Mostly because that genre was a hit or miss with me. These days, i have to say that i have a huge respect for writers who write in that genre because to take a full fledged m/f reader and make them absolutely love another genre with m/m and f/f themes, is huge! And this author did that for me.
Since that first book of Claudia Burgoa's, i've come to appreciate her way of telling a story. Taking chilling subjects and making them real, and making you respect not only the writing style, but the journey that her characters go through. But i digress... i was supposed to talk about this book and not my general love and enjoyment of this author's stories.
Knight of Wands is... different. It's much shorter than what i'm used to reading by this author, and chances are that it accounts for a good portion of why i couldn't rate it a 5 star review; mostly because for me, there was missing something. It was a lot of my having to try to figure out the who, what, where and when. And maybe i should have caught up on the previous books that are linked to this story, of maybe i should have paid better attention, but that's all on me.
If i could rate this book purely on the way that it's told, i would absolutely rate it a 5 star. If i could rate it on the feels, that would get me higher than 5 stars. The fact that i was really trying to piece so many puzzles at the same time as i read the book... that worked against me. Don't get me wrong, i'm still loving Claudia Burgoa's books... i just have to brush up on my history and get my butt back to reading Knights Of Wands and seeing exactly what i missed the first time around.
