Description:
Heather Hampton returns to Moses Lake, Texas, to help facilitate the
sale of a family farm as part of a planned industrial plant that will
provide the area with much-needed jobs. Heather's future fiance has
brokered the deal, and Heather is in line to do her first large-scale
architectural design--if the deal goes through.
But the
currents of Moses Lake have a way of taking visitors on unexpected
journeys. What was intended to be a quick trip suddenly morphs into
Valentine's week--with Blaine Underhill, the handsome banker who just
happens to be opposing Heather's project. Spending the holiday in an
ex-funeral parlor seems like a nightmare, but Heather slowly finds
herself being drawn into the area's history, hope, and heart.
My Thoughts:
This was another page-turner for me. I only started it last night and kept turning the pages in anticipation of figuring out what the secrets were! At first, I really didn't like Heather. I found her to be shallow and bratty, but I think that was the author's intention. She was very entitled and that kind of attitude always gets under my skin!
I really like the Moses Lake setting. It makes me wish for a simplier life, you know? Where we can slow down a bit and enjoy the world around us and just be together in relationships. I long for a chance to live in a place like that!
It was nice to have a bit of suspense in the story too. I'm always fond of suspense! Looking forward to reading the third book in the series soon!
