The Bluebonnet Battle Kindle Edition by Carolyn Brown

Book Excerpt:

"New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown's heartwarming novel about old rivalries, young love, and a lemon meringue pie to die for.

In Bonnet, Texas, Liddy Latham, the queen of funeral dinners, keeps a southern comfort-food tradition alive—until fancy-schmancy Matilda Monroe moves back to town. She wants room at the table for her own style of consolation and closure: healthy, modern, and vegan. But this is about more than fried chicken versus tofu turkey. Matilda's return is also stirring up their volatile, unresolved history. And just when they thought it couldn't get more personal…

Matilda's son, Nick, and Liddy's niece, Amelia, have met, and the sparks are flying. But, for Matilda and Liddy, their precious kin's romance is their worst nightmare. Now, it's all Nick and Amelia can do to survive a family feud with the whole town talking.

The battle for the funeral dinner crown is on. As two strong-willed women wrestle for control, making peace with the past may be the only way to give star-crossed lovers a happy ending.

Review:
"The Bluebonnet Battle" by Carolyn Brown

My Assessment:

"The Bluebonnet Battle" was quite a read in that it was a good story but also sad when it came to families that don't want to get along. Yes, there were some good times with some good memories in how this story ends. This small town had some characters that were something else and left one shaking their head and saying, oh my goodness...can't they get along for the children's sake? But I guess this is the way it is for some people, not being able to forgive and forget. Will that person ever realize what a loss they have made for themselves in the end? To see a person so filled with hate was quite something to read. When Amelia and Nick fall... I will stop here and say for the reader to pick up 'The Bluebonnet Battle' and see if there will be a win for these two people who were caught in the middle of this mess. The story, even though it was thoughtfully presented with one be faced with the return of a longtime arch-nemesis, be ready for a lot of laughing out loud as you continue turning the pages getting through this story.
