My Review:  
While reading this book, it didn’t take long for me to feel at home in the small town community of Cedar Ridge.  This book has a “best friends to romance” theme that touched my heart and had me hoping that everything would come together for Charlotte and Logan to have a happy marriage.  The more I came  to know Charlotte, Logan, Ruby, and their extended family, the more I was drawn into the story.  I loved all three of these characters and had great sympathy for the sad situations in Charlotte’s past.  With books of this length, it can be tendency for the storyline to seem rushed, but I never felt that with this story.  The author did a lovely job of making this story feel as if I’d read a full-length novel.  

Please note this:  Charlotte’s story has instances of physical abuse from her husband.  These instances are not described in detail, but more as an explanation for Charlotte’s fears.  If this is could be a trigger for you, please be aware of this before you read the book.


I am always looking forward to reading the next book from Laurel Blount.  If you haven’t previously read one of her books, you’ll enjoy this one.
