My Review

This is the fifth book in this series, and yes I have enjoyed them all, but this definitely can be read alone.

What a treat we are given a relatively new step-mother that is plotting with her cousin and becoming hopefully a matchmaker. Her cousin has marriageable age sons and she has these new daughters that need husbands, they have a solution.

We are there as these young couples meet and go about their everyday life, along with some picnics, and bird watching.

One of the girls is deaf, and it is hereditary, and she is sure not interested in finding a husband, but she is a talented artist and seamstress, and one of the boys sure needs help.

I so enjoyed this story, and loved how it highlighted a disability, but showed an everyday person, and we see how she struggles, but gives her all.

Will there be any matches? You will find out by the end of this read!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review.
