The question is, are things about to change for them?<\/p>\n<p>Widowed Rachel has seen more than enough tragedy in her life and has done an excellent job raising her son alone. Now that he has entered college, she cannot face her empty house with no one to care for so she decides to spend the next month or two in her brother\u2019s vacation cottage in order to help care for Evan as he recovers from a work related injury.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed watching as they avoided the obvious attraction, especially Rachel whose fear of losing another person in her life stopped her from living life to the fullest. I loved all the references to floriography and the meanings behind each flower. It was fun seeing how Evan used what he learned to communicate his feelings to Rachel.<\/p>\n<p><em>Never Too Late<\/em> is a special book that deals with a number of personal and societal issues. It was encouraging to see how everything worked together to bring about healing in the lives of several people. I do warn you that it might be a good idea to keep a box of tissues handy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18375 aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a digital copy of this book provided by JustReads Publicity.

Tuttle<\/p>\n<p><strong>Publisher: <\/strong>Iron Stream Media<\/p>\n<p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> November 2, 2021<\/p>\n<p><strong>Genre:<\/strong> Inspirational Contemporary Romance<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once, her art brought her fame. This time will it bring her love?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Widowed homemaker Rachael Stark isn\u2019t quite sure what comes after her only child leaves for college. To fill her suddenly quiet hours and scrawny bank account, she needs a job. But painful memories prevent her from resurrecting her former art career, and motherhood isn&#8217;t much of a r\u00e9sum\u00e9. When her best friend needs help recovering from a gunshot wound that occurred in the line of duty, she is there. Finally, someone to take care of.<\/p>\n<p>Evan Wayne won&#8217;t let his injury keep him from being a police officer. His dedication to protect the innocent stems from the guilt he carries over having failed his childhood friend. What he needs now is to recover and get back on the streets. Instead, he&#8217;s handed a myriad of light-duty tasks by his captain?one of which involves heading up the department&#8217;s entry into the town&#8217;s annual mural contest. He&#8217;s not an artist, but he definitely knows one. And he&#8217;ll take any excuse to spend more time with her.<\/p>\n<p>When Rachael agrees to paint for Evan, she never expects to also be drawn into finding answers for the mother of a missing child. As the two friends work side by side on the mural and the case, their feelings move beyond friendship. But with Evan unwilling to leave his dangerous job, and Rachael unwilling to risk another loss of a loved one, their fears may paint over the promise of a beautiful future together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PURCHASE LINKS:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/58555774-never-too-late\">Goodreads<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3kjAbLk\">Amazon<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/never-too-late-susan-l-tuttle\/1139333032?ean=9781645263500\">Barnes &amp; Noble<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/Never-Too-Late-Susan-L-Tuttle\/9781645263500\">Book Depository<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781645263500\">IndieBound<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianbook.com\/never-too-late-3\/susan-tuttle\/9781645263500\/pd\/263503\">Christianbook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookbub.com\/books\/never-too-late-along-came-love-book-3-by-susan-l-tuttle\">BookBub<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>MORE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28071 aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Susan-Tuttle-Series.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"339\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Susan-Tuttle-Series.jpg 339w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Susan-Tuttle-Series-150x110.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;ABOUT THE AUTHOR&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.13.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28072 alignleft size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sisam-Tuttle.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sisam-Tuttle.png 300w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sisam-Tuttle-150x192.png 150w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sisam-Tuttle-117x150.png 117w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ACFW Carol Award finalist <strong>Susan L.
