The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . A PIVOTAL RIGHT (Shaking the Tree, #2) . . . I have not read book one of this series, but I was seriously invested in this read. I loved it without having read the first. I was pulled in to Jack, Florence, Viola, and the whole deal going on with them. This was not the typical historical romance. It was more. It had deeper layers. More aspects to see. There was just more. I will most certainly read this one again, but after reading book one. If I loved this without the depth and details of book one. I can only imagine just how much I will love it afterwards. Now, on to getting me a copy of the first one.


BLURB
Florence struggled for breath as she stared into the face of a ghost. "Jack?" 

Twenty years after being forced apart Jack and Florence have been offered a second chance at love. But can they find their way back to each other through all the misunderstandings, guilt and pain? 

And what of their daughter, Viola? Her plan to become a doctor is based on the belief she has inherited her gift her medicine from Emile, the man she believed was her father. How will she reconcile her future with the discovery that she is Jack's child?


EXCERPT
Jack inhaled sharply as Florence crumpled, her head hitting the floor with a sickening thud.
His heart thundered. He had pictured their meeting again so many times over the past twenty years, but had never envisaged this scenario.
She moaned, her eyelids flickering.
He gestured to his son. “Liam, bring a couple of blankets from the store room.”
She had looked so terribly shocked, and no wonder. She’d had no warning, no time to prepare herself.
A young woman, the girl he assumed was his daughter, Viola, was kneeling beside her mother gently tapping the back of her hand. His gaze caught on her beautiful face, so changed from the child he had briefly met nearly ten years earlier. He was hardly able to comprehend that she was his. Did she have any inkling who he was?

He took a step back as the truth of the situation hit him like a punch to the stomach. After longing for this moment for twenty years it was now upon him and he found himself completely unprepared. His gaze flicked to Liam who had just returned carrying a pile of blankets. No one, not even his adopted son, had any idea of the house of cards Jack had built. He released a shaky breath, and waited for it to all come crashing down.

She then discovered a love of teaching and began passing on the skills accumulated over the years'design, pattern-making, sewing, Art Clay Silver, screen-printing and machine embroidery to name a few. Creative writing started as a self-dare to see if she had the chops to write a manuscript.
