Gloria's Song (Grandma's Wedding Quilts Book 11)
by Kathryn Albright
This is a story about music and the passion for it that two
people have. Both being from different side of the tracks one poor the other
well to do come together to make the best music that will pull people together
giving them something to dream about why two people fall in love for all the right reasons. Will
love and music win out or will they be left not only broken hearted but alone? It
was a story that started out a little slow for me but it wasn’t long before I
was pulled in not being able to put it down reading it all in one setting. It has the best ending leaving you with a
smile and feeling of peace.
Gloria is driven by her passion for music wanting the
impossible why her controlling mother expects her to give it all up for a man
who can place the world at her feet with money and power. She has always done
what is expected of her until the day she meets Colin. Gloria is a very sweet
lady inside and out trying her best to make everyone happy. What she will learn
is she can’t do this she must decide what is right for her letting the chips
fall where they may or letting other run her life making her life miserable.
Colin has always had a dream to have his music published but
hasn’t been able to make this happen. He spends his time helping his father in
the family pub and keeping it out of others hands. He does a friend a favor and
meets Gloria. He is taken back by her beauty and would love to get to know her
better. She is way out of his league he knows he doesn’t have a chance that is
until her father steps in asking for his help. Colin’s is very rich in every way
but money. His passion for music, his love of life, he is smart, handsome and a
true gentlemen. It was very easy to fall in love with this character with his
strong gentle ways everyone who reads this book will fall for him.
When Gloria and Colin start spending time together they are
pulled to each other. The love grows slow and steady leaving you guessing how
this will turn out hoping for the best but not giving much hope for it. Mothers
always think they know the best and their hearts really are in the right place
but few ever give their children the space to really grow as is the case with
Gloria mother. I really didn’t care for her even though I knew she really loved
her daughter and wanted what she thought was best for her. Her father I dearly loved he never forgot what
it was like to be young and having the freedom of choice. He did push a little
but only to give Gloria a little freedom to make up her own mine. His demands
were reasonable and he truly had her best interest at heart. George I disliked
from the start he was too pushy and I feel sure he was after more than a wife.
He wanted to keep Gloria in a box to his making.
The author really pulled me in giving me a story I could
relate to with wonderful characters. I had no trouble picturing the scenes and
the faces of each character along with their expressions at any given time. I
loved the plot with its twists that really made it entertaining. The only
question that wasn’t answer for me that I wish was what happened with the pub
and George threat to it? I thought this was very well written the author giving
you a little bit of everything that makes a wonderful romance. The beloved
wedding quilt plays a big role in this story its meaning of true love laying on
a bed of a man and women giving them many nights of warmth why they take their
love to the highest pleasure. Once Gloria holds this quilt I believe she really
knows George would never be the man for her with his snobbiest ways which she
is starting to see more of each day. The
quilt and its meaning stays in her mind for many days to come and I feel it
really help her make her choice in the end along with some outstanding new
music from the only man that really loves her. This is the first I have read of
this authors work and I can’t wait to read more. She puts so much emotion into
this wonderful clean read that is so full of passion you won’t be able to put
it down.
This is one series that gets better and better with each new
read. Each story ties a family and a quilt together to make it a wonderful
outstanding clean series you do not want to miss. I can’t wait for the next one.
