Mary’s Reviewing Moments... WILLOW SPRINGS by Toni Blake (A Destiny Novel)


On occasion as I often do, I find myself wondering if love finds us or do we seek it out.  Probably a little of both because you have to want love to get love, right?  When I went after my husband he never knew what hit him and here we are all these years later and he still cannot buy a clue without me.

In WILLOW SPRINGS by Toni Blake we find Amy knowing whom she loves and trying to figure out how to get his attention.  Logan does love her as a “friend” yet wonders if that all there is between us.  Amy and Logan are a great couple even though I do not think Amy needed to change as much as she did to please him, but well to each his own.

Being a fan of the positive and celebrating my every day Little Victories I have often times drawn from Claude Monet’s attitude.  He was moved by what he saw, and painted what he loved, never letting the critics deter him from his innovative style.  Life may knock you around but look for the one shining moment in the day and celebrate that Little Victory.

REVIEW from Mary Gramlich "The Reading Reviewer"

WILLOW SPRINGS by Toni Blake (A Destiny Novel)

Am I prepared to make a life altering decision today?

When you spend your entire life searching for the answer to make the piece of your life fit, it is hard fate seems to be working against you.  Amy has loved Logan her entire life, but he sees them as just friends.  Amy has tried expressing that love but such a huge step has not come easily to her.  With her friends support maybe this time she can show Logan how much more than friends she wants to be.

Trouble with her plan begins when someone long thought gone from town shows up ready to take away Logan’s affection from Amy.  Well the game is one and regardless of what obstacles are in the way it is now or never.  Amy is going to figure out a way to go from unnoticeable to enticing and then throw caution to the wind. 

Logan has to wrestle his demons especially when one shows up knocking at the door, but he figures things are going the way they should.  He was pursing one life and now does not know which career makes sense so how is he going to pick which woman he wants.  Having too many choices is a bad thing for this guy and the women are deciding the rules of the game whether he likes it or not.

Toni Blake writes love from her heart and shows with the written word how wonderful love truly is with the right match.

  1. I think are instances where you might have to change an aspect of your life for someone else.

  2. I don't think you should need to change in essentials, just be willing to compromise & respect the other person.

  3. I think you may have to change your lifestyle a little but no you never have to change who you are. Before I got married I went out with friends after marriage not every night!!

  4. I do not think you need to change who you are. Then you would not be who you fell in love with. But you do have to compromise

  5. I agree with the other people who have posted comments that you may need to change some things about your lifestyle, but you don't need to change who you are.

  6. I don' t think change but sometimes compromises from both. It's all about balance in a relationship I think and true love means being yourself, being happy and sometimes taking chances.

  8. I don't think you should change who you are for someone else - I don't believe that ever works. If prior to meeting someone, you choose to work on some aspects of your life that could be a good thing. I don't think anyone should get into a relationship thinking the other person will change.

  9. I just changed a little bit when I got married. I think that I've changed for the better though. I've also mellowed out over the years, and don't let things upset me like they used to.

  10. I agree. Don't change yourself to fit into a relationship. But compromises are made. Thanks for the chance.
