Summary: Catalina and the Winter Texan

Catalina Reyes has sacrificed everything to own a beach-front recreational vehicle Park. Widowed and struggling, her Park falls on hard times and needs extensive renovations to stay open.

When Manuel Batista, a widowed and successful contractor rents a slot at the Park, he's immediately attracted to Catalina and captivated by her fiery spirit and determination. Manuel helps Catalina to renovate her Park. Working together, their relationship sizzles, but Catalina realizes Manuel will return north after the winter. Unwilling to start a long-distance relationship after a painful breakup in her previous marriage, she must learn to trust again.

Can they overcome Catalina's fears and bridge the gap of hundreds of miles between their homes and families to find a second chance at love?

Review:

First of I’ve got to say you hit this one out of the park. As a person in this age group, I’ve seen my step mom find love after my dad’s passing, as well as seeing my mom find love again and my step dad was the best thing that ever happened to my mom until she passed a few years ago. It doesn’t matter how old we are, we all deserve someone to love.  Now to explain why I’m only giving this story a four star when I feel you hit it out of the park.  I don’t speak Spanish and had to look up meanings to words.  You might want to put a glossary of the words in the back of the book. This is also why It’s taken me over a month to write the review, I’ve been thinking hard on how to approach this and being blunt I feel is the best way. Not everyone knows and understands Spanish words after all we are Americans.

From the first paragraph you feel the connection between Catalina and Manuel and you keep saying to yourself Catalina you’re being stupid if you don’t take this chance. You have a way of putting the reader right there on the scene like we are watching a movie unfold right before our eyes. You’ve captured each and every emotion, so the reader is laughing and crying as they are reading this story.

The editing was perfect I didn’t stumble across any grammatical or punctuation errors, which always ruin a book for me.

Conclusion:

Would I recommend this book to others? YES

Would I read other books from this Author? YES

Is this book a Novel or Novella. Novella

Is this book priced correctly? Yes it’s at the top end of what I would pay for a Novella, but with the quality of writing Miss Roman does it’s spot on.
