Willa was the first woman employee of the Abbott Brothers Garage. No one in Cottonbloom, Louisiana believed that a woman could be the expert mechanic that Willa was. Jackson Abbott always admired her skill but little did he know that under those coveralls and grimy baseball cap was a beautiful woman who had a terrible crush on him. Willa had always liked Jackson and dreamed of running her hands though his gorgeous brown hair! Jackson was beginning to notice her but Willa wouldn’t let her guard down. She couldn’t let him find out about her secrets; the ones that kept her from letting Jackson know how she really felt.

Reading a Laura Trentham novel has the reader hanging on to their own emotions from the very first page. Expect your heartstrings to be plucked and played like a violin as you roll with feelings that are so real that you’ll swear that you’re the one in the Abbott Brothers shop staring into Jackson’s eyes! I love Laura Trentham’s Cottonbloom series! Five big stars!!
