A Love To Call Her Own is the third book in the Tallgrass series written by author Marilyn Pappano. In A Love To Call Her Own, we meet Jessy Lawrence, a widow. Her husband died in Afghanistan. Jessy feels guilty because she was contemplating asking her husband for a divorce. She is a member of the Margarita Club, which is made up of a group of military wives that have all been widowed. We also meet Dalton Smith. Dalton’s wife committed suicide after being injured while she was deployed. Jessy and Dalton had one passionate night together. Although he tries to avoid her, he can’t get Jessy off his mind. Can Jessy and Dalton help each other overcome their heartache?
The setting for A Love To Call Her Own is Tallgrass, Oklahoma. The Tallgrass series focuses on the women in the Margarita Club. Marilyn Pappano’s writing conveys great emotion. Jessy had little self-confidence because she felt rejected by her family. Dalton has not been able to let go of his anger or grief because of his wife’s suicide. Jessy turns to alcohol and one night stands while Dalton turns to solitude to cope with their loss. There are plenty of secondary plots and characters that are interesting and help to keep the plot moving along and at a nice pace. I enjoyed listening to A Love To Call Her Own. It was read by Loretta Rawlins. Her voice added the perfect nuance to this tale. I look forward to more books in this series.
