Courting Mr. Emerson

It's never too late to fall in love When fun-loving artist Willow West meets buttoned-up George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. More like intriguing project at first sight. Willow makes it her mission to get the obsessive-compulsive, newly retired English teacher to loosen up and embrace life, but even she has to admit it seems like a lost cause. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The question is, will his change of heart be too late for Willow? Praise for Melody Carlson's Novels "A perfect and inspiring summer read."--Publishers Weekly on All Summer Long "[A] delightful story from an author who has made a

Courting Mr Emerson is the newest release by Melody Carlson. I found this romance to be a little different than most I often read with the characters being in their fifties instead of twenties or thirties. I found it to be unique, refreshing and realistic. However, the story was a little slow at times and I found myself wanting to skim over a page or two. There were some fun and sweet scenes that made me giggle, though. 
I am giving Courting Mr Emerson three stars. 
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.

Courting Mr Emerson

walmart.com

** “But then that's life. You can't let it beat you up. And as I remind myself every single day, God knows what he's doing. Even if I don't.” **

Melody Carlson's “Courting Mr. Emerson” is a delightful tale of life and love that will leave you with a goofy little smile on your face.

George Emerson is in his mid-50s and facing retirement as a teacher. Prim and proper, traditional, particular and sensible, George just isn't sure what he will do to fill his very structured time once he retires.

That is, until Willow West walks into his life, asking for a letter of recommendation for her college-bound grandson, Collin. Artist Willow is everything George is not — spontaneous, carefree, a person who literally grew up on a hippy commune. And she seems to be able to continuously draw him into situations he would never dream of doing.

As George and Willow's paths keep crossing, they find themselves drawn toward each other, yet driven apart by their differences, much like oil and vinegar. Can they put aside their differences and come together? Will they each be able to draw out the best in the other?

Told in back-and-forth perspectives between Willow and George, “Courting Mr. Emerson” is a sweet tale filled with laugh-out-loud moments, tear-jerker times, and moments of conviction. It's a story of overcoming loss, second chances and finding love again, even in our more senior years, and finding and offering forgiveness.

Melody Carlson also does a fantastic job of developing delightful characters, full of quirks, crazies and relatabilities. You will love both wild and free “overly enthusiastic” Willow and quiet and sensible George. And you will root for them from the very beginning.

But besides being a sweet love story, “Courting Mr. Emerson” also offers some amazing lessons, reminding us that God can fill our emptiness; we can only live one day at a time; the theme of religion versus relationship (with God); and putting your trust in God and His very existence and realness. As Willow tells George: “But George, if God is real — like I believe he is — I will be exceedingly thankful that I did believe in him. Not only because of a satisfying early life, but because I'd like to continue a loving relationship with God throughout eternity.”

I think fans of Jan Karon's Mitford series will enjoy this book, as it has a bit of a Father Tim/Cynthia/Mitford vibe.

One disclaimer, there are brief references to pot usage.

Five stars out of five.
