Description

Lydia wasn’t looking for love. Having just finalized a difficult divorce, she attended her best friend’s destination wedding with a simple plan: to reconnect with old friends and take a much needed break from the stresses of single parenthood. But life had more in store for her. In AUTUMN GETAWAY, Book One of the Seasons of Love series, Lydia connected with charming, sensitive Sam over that weekend, and took a chance on someone new. Then, in WINTER HOPES, Sam and Lydia explored the excitement of blossoming romance. Even though a long distance relationship isn’t easy, in each other they found renewed hope, both overcoming past losses to learn to trust and love again.

Now, in SPRING SHADOWS, Book Three of the series, author Jennifer Gracen brings Lydia and Sam one step closer to lasting happiness. But it isn’t all romance and roses. The realities of a long distance relationship held between Chicago and New York start to take a toll. Add in the complications posed by Sam’s overprotective brother, Lydia’s difficult ex-husband, and an unexpected tragedy, and it all threatens to tear them apart before they’ve even begun to truly be together.

Lydia and Sam must face their pasts and come to terms with old fears and insecurities. They need to focus on the things that really matter: true love, forgiveness, compassion, and fearless commitment--another leap of faith. Full of the sweetness and heartfelt emotion you’ve come to expect from the Seasons of Love series, SPRING SHADOWS shows us the power of purposeful communication, understanding, and unrelenting self-awareness, proving that true, lasting love is possible when nurtured by healing and hope.

Advance Praise

The emotions that are displayed in all the books but specifically this one are raw and powerful. The characters are amazing and the fact that each of these book is another leg in the couples journey truly makes them feel real and lets us get to know them. -Bette Hansen Goodreads reader

The author, Jennifer Gracen, creates a novel that is impossible to not devour at once as you are eager to discover what is to happen next and whether the couple will be able to overcome all odds. A fantastic and fast read that you are sure to love, just as much as the previous books. Once again, Gracen not only presents a story and characters all can relate to, but leaves us awaiting for what the next season will bring.- Chicklit Plus

Absolutely breezy read! Fantastic characters as usual with just enough drama to keep the romance interesting! Cannot wait for book four!-My Sereneti Book Reviews

With Spring Shadows the reader has to be ready for a wild ride of emotions and fun. There is heartache, lose, love, and fights. I cannot wait for their story to continue in the next book. –A Soccer Mom’s Bookblog

During Spring Shadows some terrible things happen and yes, there were tears from this reader…I really like these characters! I do not like the trouble that threatens to divide them, but I also understand where it is coming from and why. No relationship is easy, nor do they simply develop without the allowance of both positive and negative situations brought into test their resolve. –Doubleshot Book Reviews

This book will have you glued to the pages and rooting for them through the struggles and triumphs in their relationship as well as the things that happen to them individually. Jennifer Gracen has made a whole cast of character who are life-like and could pass as you and I.-ThoughtsonBook1-Blogpost
