Book Review by Bree Herron

Well, I have obviously lived under a rock for the past year. I had heard about this book, and series. It was toted as a “must-read” I put it in my reading pile and continued on with life. Now my life has included reading this book, and it is better for it.

Sarah Beth is darling. Struggling to heal she heads home to try and lick her wounds privately. Well, the good Lord had different plans for her. Enter Janet’s amazing writing and exit through the pages. I felt like I was falling into Oxford. It was a glorious sensation to read and feel with Sarah. To create my spot in this charming town.

The romance is tender, I felt like it wasn’t forced or a challenge to have in the book. It just flowed like a real love would. With puppy kisses. That is what this book was a sweet puppy kiss. You know that first time you see that puppy and it pulls at your heart? Well, your heart will be pulled in the best way possible through this book, well done Janet.
