Tad's Treasure (Grandma's Wedding Quilts


Tad's Treasure (Grandma's Wedding Quilts Book 12)
by Shanna Hatfield



From the first page you can feel the love this book is filled with. Just a few pages in my heart broken for John who knew he was dying as well as for his widow and Tad his best friend. Years go by, with Tad keeping his dying friends last request filling the promise he made taking care of John’s wife and son.  I really think with his last words he was giving the go ahead to court and marry his wife knowing that this would be the true way he could keep her safe and take care of her. Maybe I am reading too much into his last words but that is how I saw it.

Losing a love one is never easy but I would think back in that time it would have been harder with women not really working to not have a husband to provide for them. Posey is a very strong women there is no doubt she loved her husband very much. Time heals all with the healing it is time to move on and start over. If you are lucky enough to find love again you should grab it with both hands. This is something that Tad and Posey still have to learn.

The best kind of love is a love that grows from a friendship, nice and slow building over time leaving you wondering just when it happened. I related to this story since my husband and I started out this way. It was a pleasure watching their love grow but both are too afraid to come forward the pain of rejection is strong and feeling you are doing wrong by taking your best friends wife.

The pet goat adds so much to the story which I could relate to since I had a pet lamb a lot like Agnes. This bought back some great memories for me which I hold dear to my heart. I had to chuckle at Agnes and Nate and all they got into together. This was such an entertaining read that had me chuckling throughout. Grandma wasn’t in this story but her quilt sure was, what a lovely thing it was. These quilts have brought such meaning to a wonderful series.

The plot was great along with the characters. There is a lot going on from the death of a beloved friend and husband to the raising of his son, friendship, leaning, learning to go on, loving if only from afar. Nate is something else he just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. I have to smile at how his mother deals with each issue. I really wish I could have been more like her with my children. This is a wonderful clean romance that lightens your heart leaving you smiling as the story takes a few twists and turns. You are so going to love this series each book is just as good if not better than the last.
