Book Blurb

Carter Johnson never had a clue that the simple act of volunteering to help pack goodies for our troops might lead him to a possible romance. The first time Carter sees PFC Andrew Fraser, he's attracted to the Purple Heart recipient. It's not just the man's eyes or mouth that draws Carter to Andrew. It's his heart, courage, dedication, and valor as well. Imagine his surprise when he finds out the attraction seems to be mutual. Is love on the calendar for every Sunday at one?

 

Book Review

This story is as charming as its title is intriguing. Well, I found it a bit baffling when I first read it. What could possibly be happening only on Sundays at one? And whatever it was, why write a story about it? Turns out, this is a tale about how changing your routine (away from Sundays at one) can take lots of courage but can be a very good thing indeed.

Carter tells the story, and he's a slightly clumsy man helping to put together care packages for the troops. He's never really considered what they do for the rest of the population, until he ran into an ex-soldier, Andrew, who lost one half of his right leg in the war. Ever since then he's been watching him, and today is the day he'll approach him. No, really!

Carter's shyness made me smile, he is just so cute as he tries to talk himself into talking to the object of his admiration. But it is Andrew who ends up taking the first step, and the conversation that ensues is hesitant but definitely clarifies the interest is mutual. I enjoyed reading it immensely!

If you like stories about hope and new beginning, if you enjoy reading about men who are real and each have a couple of issues, and if you're looking for a short, sweet read, then you will probably like this short story.
