I read the book “Softly and Tenderly” by Sara Evans, which I received as a free e-book from Booksneeze. There is a prequel to the book which I haven’t read, but I was able to read this book without being confused. It is about a woman named Jade who learns a shocking secret about her husband that causes her to doubt where their relationship is headed. Her husband’s parents are going through similar relationship issues, and Jade and her mother-in-law, June, connect over it. I wasn’t sure what to expect in the book, but overall I would give it a 6 out of 10 stars. It had a good but not overly exciting plot, but sometimes the writing seemed to jump all over the place. The characters weren’t super developed and sometimes their interchanges seemed strange and unlike them. However, it was an entertaining novel and it would probably be more interesting if I had read the first book. So if you’re looking for an easy read with some twists and romance, this may be for you!
