A Walk In The Park

review 1: I received a copy of this book from Goodreads First Reads and Im so glad I did. I loved it!It is the second book in the "A Walk in the Park" series that tells the stories of a group of park rangers. I love that the series keeps the same characters but you dont necessarily have to read the books in order. I feel like I really got to know Vickie in this book and I cant wait to go back and get to know Kristy in the first book.
review 2: This is the 2nd book in the A Walk In the Park series about female park rangers. It is not necessary to have read the first book, Love Is A Battlefield, but it adds to the story since this is a trilogy about 3 friends and they do all get together in this one and discuss people and things that happened in the first book.Vickie Har... moreris works in Washington, D.C. on the National Mall. She loves her job, but she is hoping to find a man with whom to share her life. None of the men she dates seem to live up to her standards, so she is left with her cats, Jake and Lloyd, on most nights. When she decides to get outside her comfort zone, she meets Thatcher Torrey. Thatcher is a history professor who doesn't do so well socially. He hasn't been interested in a relationship for a long time because he has resigned himself to being a loner. Vickie makes him think twice about his decision.I liked the first book in the series, but I really loved this book. Both Vickie and Thatcher were flawed, but I never felt like smacking them over the head because they were too stupid. They did not always do the intelligent thing, but they did things that real people would do and not just characters in a book. Thatcher was not the typical overly confident alpha male, but was quite the opposite. He was by far the more flawed character. The story developed well. I was confused a bit by the addition of Jane and Katherine--mother and daughter dealing with the mother's terminal cancer. It took quite a while to actually unfold in the story, but it worked out and once it started flowing, I could not put the book down. I would have liked a little more resolution between Thatcher and Clark, but that really was secondary to the story.The Christian values blended nicely into the story and were not overwhelming and felt very realistic. This is a good book to sit down and read on a Sunday afternoon.I received this book from netgalley.com. less
