The Posse by Tawdra Kandle review

The Posse by Tawdra Kandle

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


We all have that core group of friends, the ones that have been us along the way, know all our deepest secrets and butt into our business constantly. The Posse has been that to each other for decades. When one half of a couple dies, they make it there mission to make sure the one left stays put by falling for another posse member. What starts out as a typical guy response to fixing a problem (that never was) turns into a story of unrequited love and second chances for happiness.

Jude has lived the same life almost her entire life. Running the restaurant, same people, tourists, walking home, raising her kids. In the last 18 months, though, her life has tilted off its axis. She lost her husband Daniel after an illness took him early in life but long into their relationship. She didn’t know what she would have done without the Posse in her life, picking her up and helping her negotiate this new normal.

Logan has loved Jude since way back in their school days. When she and Daniel got together he backed off and became the best friend he could to them both. When Daniel died he, and the other members of the Posse, kept an eye on Jude to keep her holding it together. When the other guys in the Posse bring up the idea of getting her to fall for one of the single guys to keep her in Crystal Cove, he thinks it would be a great time to express his feelings.

Matt, Connor and Logan each make plans with Jude, which at first she is flattered by then turns to slightly creeped out where Matt and Connor are concerned. She finds herself attracted to Logan, then starts to wonder if it is acceptable with losing Daniel so soon. Jude and Logan express their feelings to each other and slowly bring the other members of their family and friends into their new relationship.

I really enjoyed Jude and Logan as a couple as well as Jude’s relationship with her children. Her son actually brings the next generation into the Crystal Cove family and her daughter goes to Burton GA to continue a new series, Love in a Small Town. Once again Tawdra takes you on a wonderfully written ride from start to finish. Tiny details that make the storyline flow seamlessly, drawing the reader in with every word. 4 1/2 stars for this read and I will continue on this series with the next 2 books then move on to Love in a Small Town to find out what Meggie can get herself in to.
