My Review

I loved this read, it kept me page-turning and when finished I hated to let go.
We are back in Bowman Corners Ohio, and friends we have previously met are here, but we are drawn immediately to the young woman crying on the bus, and the man who tries to comfort her, we meet Helen and Mark. I have to say the author gave us several different meetings at first, let’s say food and mud puddles to name a few.
We also meet eccentric Aunt Charlotte and her precocious dog and pet raccoon, who work in the matchmaking.
Can a girl with a broken heart and a man with an intended and a plan find a relationship between the two of them? The author puts them together in several different ways, some very unpleasant, but some with a good deal of chuckles!
I can’t wait for more from this author, and want more visits back to Ohio!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review.
