My Review
Love Birds…..my thoughts
Sharing the grief of loosing her brother and he losing his best friend, Ellie and Lloyd are brought together. They have known each other all of their lives and sharing their thoughts and memories spark a relationship between them.
When Ellie betrays Lloyd, or so he thinks, they both are devastated and you wonder if either of there lives will ever be the same? Will there be forgiveness as their religion teaches, or will each go there own way? The market in this story is a gift store.
A Bid For Love
Two shy people that can’t seem to express their desires are put together each week at the local market. Just how much homemade butter can a bachelor use?
What becomes the catalyst for these two is a quilt. His Mom is donating one, and he gives the lady in charge when she comes for it the closest quilt. Then he sees his hearts desire looking at the quilt that his Mom donated.
Will this be the reason these two open up to each other, or will it be the end to any relationship?
Sweeter Than Honey
In this story Will has felt like his heart has been shattered to many times to try again. Enter a new neighbor to bee country Isabella; she is just trying to fit in. These two meet in the Bee Store.
When she is befriended by an English girl, and decides to go out to a pool hall, Will is sure she isn’t for him. Things are not always as they appear, and this story will have you wondering how everything is going to work out.
Love In Story
This is the final story in this book, and mostly takes place at the Old Mill, in Nappanee, Indiana. This is the story of a widower who has moved her to help his recently widowed daughter.
Stella has never been able to have children and feels she has never been worthy to have a husband of her own.
When pranks and then more dangerous things begin to happen at the mill Will and Stella spend more time together trying to figure out whom is committing these acts. Through out the story Stella is a brisk and rather outspoken person, and you wonder how hurt she is because of her problem.
Now these are not twenty year olds they are in there fifties, but both come with their own problems and you wonder if there is even a chance for a relationship here.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.
