Kurzbeschreibung

Life in a small town can be tricky. Laid-back Glory Eiben learned long ago that keeping personal information and opinions to herself goes a long way toward staying hassle free in her chosen home town. Much adored by the residents, she’s maintained the life she’s always wanted with good friends, close family, and a successful career. For someone with a rare congenital heart defect, this life is more than she could have hoped for.

Leaving behind big city excitement, a demanding position, and a failed relationship, Lena Coleridge thinks this small ski town may be exactly what she needs to come back from her wit’s end. She didn’t think that job politics or social landmines would exist in such a small town. Keeping to herself won’t be an option with these nosy locals. It doesn’t help that she lives next door to one of the more popular residents who seems too easy going and nice to be true. Friendship is inevitable, but as she gets to know Glory, friendship isn’t the only thing on her mind. After her last relationship, Lena doesn’t want anything to do with another complication, and dating her neighbor could definitely get complicated.

Nothing defective about this book 15. November 2011
Von TerryB - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Accountant Glory Eiben knows what life is like living in a small town. Nothing is sacred, no detail of anyone's personal lives goes unmentioned and unnoticed. Glory is a much loved and well respected member of the small ski town community. She has a loving family, a wide circle of friends and a successful accountancy business. Glory has also had a heart defect all her life. She survived to adulthood against all odds and up until now, she never thought she would have a future.

Lena Coleridge arrives in town and moves in right next door to Glory. Lena has left a broken relationship and the big city school she was Principal of to become Principal of the small school in Aspen. Lena thinks she can slide in under the radar and keep herself to herself, but she has another think coming. Not in this small town.

When Glory and Lena meet, both women are wary. Lena is reluctant to begin a friendship with Glory. But soon decides she more than likes Glory. But Lena can't allow herself to have another disastrous relationship and pulls back. Will Lena relent and allow herself to love again?

Glory more than likes Lena, but a relationship is another thing altogether. What about Glory's heart defect? Can Glory allow herself to trust again after receiving two knock backs in the past?

I love Lynn Galli's books and this one is no exception. The book completely captivated me from the very beginning. There is a serious element to this story of a young woman with heart problems. Yet Lynn Galli has put the story across with sympathy and understanding. The story is told with a lovely humor throughout without taking away the seriousness of Glory's illness. The way this book has been written can only be described by me as like being on the outside looking in at the scenes unfolding. A wonderfully written story that ended far too soon. I would dearly love to see a sequel with these characters. They have a lot more to offer

tugs at the heart strings 12. November 2011
Von chellejay - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I was really excited to see a new Lynn Galli book and even though I went in with some pretty high expectations I was not disappointed. Mending Defects is a fantasic read with some beautiful humour and the odd scene that might bring a tear to your eye (yeah, so I'm a big cry-baby!).

The cast of characters is wonderful and diverse, and Galli has interwoven their stories perfectly. Attention is never diverted from Lena and Glory's developing friendship but we are able to see how the lives of their friends and family, and their careers, and their pasts have shaped them.

The story is well paced. Their relationship develops realistically and despite the obstactles they have to overcome there is none of the overly dramatic lesbian angst that I personally find irritating in some novels in this genre.

And the biggy for me in recommending this is that even though Galli has written a good number of books there is nothing repetitive here and no re-hashing of similar characters or the same old storyline repeating itself. I loved getting to know Lena and Glory and was captivated by their story.

Loved This Book 14. November 2011
Von Courtney Turner - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I've read two other books by Lynn Galli, and this novel was just as fabulous as the others. Galli's novels always have a way of making you laugh one moment, gushing the next. The main character is sarcastic, witty, and so loveable in that stubborn, difficult way. If you've ever looked at the Q&A on the author's website, you can definitely see some of her personality in her characters. I wish I could meet her in person. Not just because she is an amazing writer, but because she's interesting and intriguing, as are her characters. The main characters, Glory and Lena, slowly fall in love despite past heartaches, stubbornness, and Glory's heart condition.
