REVIEW: Beneath the Patchwork Moon by Alison Kent

Beneath the Patchwork Moon (Hope Springs, TX #2): Alison Kent seamlessly wove a tapestry of desperation, heartbreak, and tragedy. Beneath the Patchwork Moon is a realistic tale of young love, secrets, and second chances. The charisma and emotion ingrained within this reunion story is very impressive.

Luna Meadows is haunted, maybe even trapped, by her past. She has lived her entire life, sheltered, in the small town of Hope Springs. Ten years have passed since the accident that forever altered her reality and shaped her future. Determined to honor Sierra’s memory, Luna started a non-profit organization. The proceeds will fund the Hope Springs local community arts center. However, this decision has other unforeseen consequences – it brings her first love back into her life. Luna is a distinctive heroine; it took me a while to figure out exactly what made her so unique. I will not spoil it for future readers by sharing what I discovered. Just know that Ms. Kent did a fantastic job creating Luna and I hope everyone enjoys her story as much as I did.

It has been eight years since Angelo Caffey last saw Luna. It was his choice, but now all these years later he questions that choice. When he learns that Luna is converting his childhood home into an art center he knows it is time to return to Hope Springs. He is unprepared for the memories that assault him upon his return. I love the intensification that Angelo brought to the story – his flaws and vulnerabilities perfectly complemented his strengths.

This very intensive read is worthy of a high recommendation. However, I would have a light fluffy read on standby because this one left me emotionally wrecked.
