Review of “Country Hearts” by Cindi Madsen

Publisher Description:

She shouldn’t get involved with the cowboy next door…

Laid off from her teaching job in the city, Jemma Monroe takes a job teaching in a tiny town and rents a house on the outskirts. A visitor soon shows up at her door—a horse. His owner, a handsome neighbor in boots and a cowboy hat, comes by to collect him. 

When single dad Wyatt Langford meets Jemma, it’s the first time he feels interest in a woman since his wife left. But she’s his daughter’s new teacher, so they both know they should keep their distance. 

Nonetheless, Wyatt keeps finding excuses to spend time with Jemma, and Wyatt’s daughter becomes more and more attached to her. With them, Jemma discovers the good things about country life, from starry skies to s’mores cooked over a fire. But she still misses her past life in the city. Is there any reason for them to dream of a future together?

This heartwarming cowboy romance includes a Hallmark original recipe for Classic Italian Lasagna.

My Review:

This book is the perfect sweet romance, full of fun and just in time for Valentine’s Day.

I loved every page of this book.  Jemma’s “city girl” adventures of living in the country for the first time made me laugh. The crazy/sweet things that happen in her third grade classroom brought back memories of my own years of teaching elementary school, including the “critter” that unexpectedly visited her class.  Wyatt and his eight year old daughter are the other characters that give this story its shine, especially Bailey.  Her efforts to “play cupid” and match up her dad and Jemma were fun.  This book is from Hallmark, so you know there’s going to be a happily-ever-after ending, but the efforts of almost everyone in the small town to bring them together made this ending just that much sweeter.  

So if you are looking for a feel-good, make-you-smile romance, don’t miss this one.  It’s the kind of story you’ll want to read and smile your way through it again.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
