Roxanne St. Claire’s story of Jocelyn Bloom & Will Palmer, the 2nd of the Barefoot Bay Series, is an emotionally intense account of how childhood affects the choices you make as an adult. Jocelyn Bloom has built a wall around her heart. She seeks safety & security while aching for love. She disappears from Mimosa Bay because of her abusive father and his threats against the man she loves. Fifteen years later Jocelyn comes home to hide and discovers that Will Palmer has been helping the man that she has avoided for years. Will doesn’t know why Joss disappeared from his life but wants a second chance with the woman he has never forgotten. He wants to break the shell around Joss’s heart but knows he must be careful or she will disappear from his life again. Jocelyn can’t bear for anyone to know her secrets, even her best friends. Coming back to Mimosa Bay stirs up emotions that Joss has kept buried for years. She walked away so the man she loved would have a future. Now she must reevaluate everything she thought was true so that maybe she can have a chance at happiness.This is not the typical book that I purchase but I am so glad that I did because not only did I LOVE this story but it touched a my heart & soul. Barefoot in the Rain is the second book of the Barefoot Bay series. This is Jocelyn's story & what a story it is! It's very emotional and contains all the elements of a love story and so much more.Love - Two people trying to reconnectIndecision's - Jocelyn has so many very emotional decisions to makeStrength - She is a very strong woman with a few weaknesses tossed inFriends - She and her friends at Barefoot Bay share a special closeness and are always there for each other, almost on a mystical levelAnd so much moreI've always loved Ms. St Claire's style of writing and the Barefoot Bay series is no exception.Although each book in the series does quite well on it's own I love to start at the beginning to get a good feel of all the characters.The Barefoot Bay Series is a must read. Grab Barefoot in the Sand and I think you'll be grabbing them all!You can find Roxanne St. Claire on Facebook as well as her blog.
