THE PLACEHOLDER by Lynda Wolters - Review & Giveaway

 


Serenade Kincaid's life is a mess. The only way for her is up. In THE PLACEHOLDER (MascotBooks) by Lynda Wolters, Sera has always wanted to be a mother, but now that she's getting divorced, it looks like she won't be able to see her step-daughters ever again. She's lost her house, half of her earnings and her sports car. 

Sera goes through men like water and eventually her meddling, some times BFF, boss hooks her up in a relationship with a guy and extra benefits. It's a perfect relationship as long as she doesn't start getting feelings for him.

I'm not going to tell you anymore about THE PLACEHOLDER except to say, you'll experience every emotion reading it. I'd have tissues nearby.  I kind of wondered where it was going at the start. Sere isn't the most likeable character, but like many of us, if we're open to change, positive change is possible. 

I bet when you finish the book, you'll want to be a Wax Sister. 

Lynda was born and raised in a tiny farming community of 400 in northern Idaho. She worked on the family farm with her first job being picking rocks out of the fields with her dad and grandpa. She learned to drive while sitting on her grandma’s lap (she would steer as her grandma controlled the gas and the brake) and then graduated to driving her grandpa’s old 1950's stick-shift International pick up truck with her grandpa sitting next to her. Once she was “legally” allowed to drive, she quickly climbed the family farm ladder and was promoted to truck driver and then to the elite position of driving combine during harvest.

After high school she traveled to New York to be a nanny for a few months before moving to Las Vegas to further her schooling. She moved back home to Idaho to raise her three sons and now resides there.

    Oh boy…so many affected when divorce happens. But I’m interested to see what a “placeholder” will bring to the story.
