This Time Around by Denise Hunter, Melissa Ferguson, Kathleen Fuller

 

From three beloved romance authors come sweet and light stories perfect for lovers of Hallmark movies.

A Summer Detour by Denise Hunter

In order to prove herself to her parents, free-spirited Allie Adams undertakes the responsibility of delivering her grandparents’ newly-restored ’57 Chevy for their 50th wedding anniversary party. But an unfortunate oversight forces her to make the road trip with Luke Fletcher, the man who callously broke her heart years ago.  

The journey soon dissolves into a series of misfortunes, obliging the antagonistic travelers to spend even more time together. As they overcome challenges and obstacles, they remember the spark that once flared between them. But they must decide if they’re willing to risk their hearts again—or if the personal cost is simply too great.

Pining for You by Melissa Ferguson

Theo Watkins III is a respectable man—the kind who drives a Tesla, not a tractor. But when he discovers that the caretaker of his family-inherited Christmas tree farm is injured during planting season, he drives up to support the man who has been like a father to him.

Three months into her move back to the family farm, Skye Whitesides expected to run into Theo eventually. What she didn’t expect was for Theo to offer up his services for the farm. Not that he has any services—her childhood best friend and the man who broke her heart seventeen years ago wouldn’t know which part of the shovel was the handle. As the two are forced to work together, she finds herself lowering her guard and starting to trust Theo. Is he truly the man she hopes him to be, or will he break her heart again?

He Loves Me; He Loves Me Not by Kathleen Fuller

Thirty-five-year-old Sophie has spent years making her floral shop, Petals and Posies, a success, and her love life has suffered. She’s avoided romance since her ex broke her heart, but now she’s ready to start dating again.

Joe, also thirty-five, has known Sophie since kindergarten, but sparks have never flown between them. He’s finally decided to get back into the dating pool after spending the past fifteen years coaching, teaching, and working with underprivileged kids. He decides to ask out Sophie. But to his dismay, someone else is also vying for her attention.

Should Sophie listen to Joe—and her heart? Or should she take a chance with Landon, the slick lawyer she’s also attracted to? Will Joe, who hates conflict, do the easy thing and let Sophie and Landon be together? Or force himself out of his comfort zone because he is unable to let her go?

My Review

 

I loved these three reads and each quickly captured me, to the point I didn't want to leave, but there were more, until the last page was turned.

Three of my favorite authors, and three novella's, yes, I was quickly wanting to read!

We all make assumptions, and each of these stories let years fall by before the main characters meet again, and we are there to see what happens, and the cause of the separation.

Then the reuniting, simple, no. Wait to you read about bring the treasured car to her grandparents, from the moment Allie sits in the restored car. Next, the theorization of what her Dad is being paid after years of service, this has Skye has her hackles up. The final read we have sweet Sophie with no dates for a long time, and within minutes she has two, we get to see which one wins.

Don't miss these quick lingering page turners.

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