I finished reading The Triplets’ Summer Adventure in one day by Laurel Blount. She delves deeply into the main characters, Nick Marshall and Cara Andrews so well that you feel you know them personally. When Nick takes the summer job as park ranger in Cedar Ridge and runs the camp, he doesn’t plan on staying home. He wants to return to his world travels and adventuresome jobs in the fall.
When Cara goes to camp to explain about her sons’ needs, Nick is busy trying to figure out what to serve for breakfast. His cook broke her leg and he needs to replace her as soon as possible. Cara offers to fix pancakes for the fifty campers. Nick and Cara had attended the same high school. After eating her delicious pancakes and seeing her skill in the kitchen, Nick hires her as a cook for the camp. Although she has a college job to teach math in the fall, cooking is her passion. From the beginning, he and Cara carefully consider their words to each other because of unresolved feelings they’d experienced in high school. A connection exists but both wonder how a relationship can work between them. I felt their pain that they knew they might not be right for each other. Yes, opposites attract but their differences might be too great to be together.
Cara’s identical triplets are precious. Attending summer camp was a blessing for the boys with their father not interested in them or their mother. Laurel gives insight into the little boys’ different personalities. When they latch onto Nick, he continues to give them attention, so they can thrive at the summer camp. The scenes between Nick and the triplets are fun to read. Cara blossoms under Nick’s compliments on her appearance and cooking. I loved how a lizard even had a part in this sweet story. Cara doesn’t like lizards and she has one in the pantry. Nick removes the lizard to the outdoors. He knows the lizard will return and tells Cara he’ll check each morning for varmint checks. She enjoys him coming in the morning to get rid of spiders and the lizard.
You feel Nick’s struggles as he realizes his foster mom Ruby is aging and might not always be around for him and his siblings. She’s been his rock for years and is a wonderful faith-filled character with common sense. He considers staying in Cedar Ridge to remain close to Ruby and to Cara and her sons. He likes helping people during his adventures and wonders if he can work at a routine type of job. Nick’s faith is part of who he is so prayer is important to him.
The ending is touching and beautiful to read. Laurel Blount is a gifted storyteller and I highly recommend The Triplets’ Summer Adventure.
