Hearts
With a
large inheritance at stake, the Hudson sisters-Allie, Des and Cara- find that
they need to work together to get the last project their father wanted them to
work on, finished to its natural beauty. The family owned Art Deco theater was
a gem at a time when people got dressed up to go to the theater and more. Now
as they try to restore it, the sisters also must navigate past secrets and try
to deal with all the secrets their father had hidden. When a freak storm damages the building as
well as the hand painted ceiling, its up to Des to find the money to repair it.
But as Des figures out the ways of grants, donors, etc. as well deal with
secrets and old hurts, all three will need dig deep and find out, once and for
all, just what the true meaning of family is.
I
adored the first book, The Last Chance Matinee, and was thrilled to see Des get
her story next. In this second book, we learn more about Des and how her past
wasn’t all so rosy, why she moved so far from Hollywood and how her
relationship with Allie is so strained to this day. Ms. Stewart continues the
story of the Hudson sisters with THE
SUGARHOUSE BLUES and I loved each bit of it. From the dynamics of the
sisters to Des trying to navigate the money portion of the project they are
working on. When Des confronts her past hurts and tries to keep a promising
love interest in the friend category, I was rooting for her all the way. I love
all three sisters and thought the relationship with Allie and Des was
interesting especially as Cara is a sibling they had no idea existed. Ms.
Stewart delivers an emotionally charged second book in her new trilogy, The
Hudson Sisters, and I couldn’t put it down.
Des is
a former child star who now rescues dogs. While being in Pennsylvania to
restore the family theater isn’t one that she actively wanted but now that she
is in the middle of the project with Allie and Carta, she finds herself
enjoying every minute of it, even with the damage the storm did to the theater.
The familiar cast of characters from book one continues to take center stage in
book two and I loved how we got to know Des better as well as know what caused
the strain between her and Allie. The author does an amazing job in capturing
each of the sister’s different personalities perfectly in THE SUGARHOUSE BLUES. Ms. Stewart delivers an amazing story that
will keep you riveted and as you flip the last page, eager for book three,
which is Allie’s story. If there is any indications, Allie’s story is going to
have fireworks especially with a certain town cop who drives her batty most of
the time. But with Des, she finds herself drawn to Seth and I was really
rooting for her to get him out of the friend zone she put him in. All the
characters are well written and just leap off the pages. I loved all the
characters we have met so far and a few new ones in THE SUGARHOUSE BLUES.
If you
enjoy a fast pace family centered story, then I highly recommend this new
series by Mariah Stewart. Though I caution that you need to read these to get all
the details that are mentioned from book one her in book two. So, start with
The Last Chance Matinee then move to THE
SUGARHOUSE BLUES next. Now all I can ask the author is- Book three soon I
hope?
