A fantastic feel good story!
This is the first non-Amish book that I have read by this author. Honestly, I wasnt sure how I'd like it being that it wasn't Amish. Boy, was I surprised. Her Amish romances are fantastic, but this one surpassed them. This is by far my favorite book that I have read by her. Actually, it's one of my top favorite books by any author of all genres that I have read. Brooke and Owen's story left me with a good feeling by the time I had finished this wonderful book. The story as well as the characters were well developed. There were a lot of twist and turns that kept me so interested that I read it in one sitting. I just couldn't put this book down. I loved all the different aspects of this story. I loved Brooke and Owen as well as Brooke's son, Spenser and her daughter, Meghan. They made me laugh. I really liked Hunter, more and more as I got to know him as the story developed. My heart went out to him. I was even taken with Owen's Uncle Denny. The two of them had me laughing at times also. I could go on and on, but If I do, I just might give away way too much of the story. This is truly a story I recommend you reading and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. This definitely is going on my read again list. Read more
