THIRD TIME'S A CHARM
By Virginia Smith
Revel
 
Third Time’s a Charm is the third in Virginia Smith’s Sister-to-Sister series involving three spirited yet very different sisters. As in the other books, the author plays with the symbolism in the title. Tori Sanderson, the youngest, is the third of three sisters and so-on goes the use of threes in Tori’s life.

 

Tori has a tiger by the tail with her successful career. But now, she is challenged in ways she had not intended, competing for advancement against a man whom she finds attractive…at least on the surface.

 

The job isn’t the only aspect of her life that forces Tori into self-analysis. When her grandmother’s house is readied for sale, old photographs of her father surface…bringing back the unanswered question as to why he abandoned her and her sisters, sending Tori on a quest for truth. The answers she unravels will catapult her into still more challenges.

 

If all that weren’t enough, her sisters have pushed her toward a romantic interlude that she would never have imagined possible. A farm boy? A poor one at that who’s working his way through college. He’s handsome though, and Tori surprisingly finds his companionship both comforting and enjoyable. Could they possibly have anything in common? Plus he’s a religious nut like her sister’s fiancé. But there’s something about Ryan that causes Tori to be introspective, seeing her exterior, designer veneer for what it is.

 

Virginia Smith’s Third Time’s a Charm will not disappoint. This author has a gift to present truth without preaching and with subliminal humor and sometimes with out-and-out hilarity. I recommend this book.
