A lighthearted romance. Nice humor and an easy read. Funny, the cover has a "coffee stain" as part of the design. Gives you insight into what the book, and character's life will be like!

Sweet book . . . with a Happily Ever After Ending. I liked the story line although the Prolog doesn't hold for me. I also would have liked Lize, the best friend, to be more developed.

This is another book that I got as a freebie on my Kindle. It's a wonderful way to discover new authors, but sometimes it's a horror to discover the stuff that gets printed. I couldn't delete this one from my Kindle fast enough. Heavy handed Christian fiction which was S..L..O..W and boring. It was repetitive, preachy, far fetched and over dramatic. I won't be reading any of this author's other work, ever.
Great book! Loved the setting in Deep Haven,MN.
It's been Mona's dream to open a bookstore, but it's going to take a lot of work. There are so many setbacks that it is soon apparent that someone is sabotaging her. Fortunately, handyman Joe Michaels is there to fix her problems. The two can't deny their attraction, but both have parts of their past that keep them from trusting love. The story was a sweet christian romance, even if it was very predictable.
This was an OK story. Kind of predictable. But a pretty cute plot. Life lessons.
