My Review:
I received this book courtesy of Netgalley and the Publisher in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. This is the second book that I have read of Donna's and the second book in the The Brides of Blueberry Cove series. Donna did a great job of setting the plot by having a great set of characters that were well developed and written very well. In addition, she did a great job setting the scene so that you really felt that you were in the small town of Blueberry Cove.
If there were aspects of the book that I thought could have been improved it maybe would have been the pace of the book. It took a little longer than I would have liked to get to start seeing their romantic relationship started. At times in the beginning I felt that she was concentrating more on the story of Fiona then Fiona and Ben. One aspect that I enjoyed was the twist that she threw in there about a family member. I think this was a great way to see the emotional aspect of Ben and Fiona's relationship really develop and grow.
All in all I thought this was a good book and I will definitely read more in this series especially Kerry's story from what we learned in this book about her. I would recommend this book to romance and fiction readers.
