There’s a secret in Grandma Rose’s attic—a forgotten set of dog tags
belonging to her first love. But David Hutchins was killed in action and
never returned to Smitten. How did the dog tags end up in the attic?
The
mystery intrigues Rose’s three granddaughters—Tess, Clare, and Zoe—and
they decide to investigate, though their mother, Anna, warns against
meddling. But as the seasons turn and the mystery unravels, the three
young women and their mother encounter some intriguing mystery men of
their own. Has a sixty-year-old puzzle sparked something new for this
close-knit family of women?
Join popular romance novelists—and
real-life BFFs—Colleen Coble, Kristin Billerbeck, Diann Hunt, and Denise
Hunter for four delightful intertwined tales of mystery and sweet
intrigue.
My Thoughts:
This was a fun read! Even though the romance outcomes are predictable, the journey is enjoyable. I think this makes a great relaxing read, with perfect novella-sized portions. Kind of like a fun-sized book!

With the help of four friends, it’s about to become the most romantic town in America.
The
proposed closing of the lumber mill comes as unwelcome news for the
citizens of Smitten. How will the town survive without its main
employer? A close-knit group of women think they’ve got just the plan to
save Smitten. They’ll capitalize on its name and turn it into a tourist
destination for lovers—complete with sweet shops, a high-end spa,
romantic music on the square, and cabins outfitted with fireplaces and
hot tubs.
But is this manly town ready for an influx of romantically-minded guests?
Country
music sensation Sawyer Smitten, the town’s hometown hero, wants to help
by holding his own wedding there on Valentine’s Day. And little Mia’s
lavender wreaths hang all over town as a reminder that faith can work
miracles. Along the way, four women spearheading the town’s
transformation—energetic Natalie, sophisticated Julia, graceful Shelby,
and athletic Reese—get in the spirit by reviving their own love lives.
Join
best-selling inspirational romance authors (and real-life BFFs) Colleen
Coble, Kristin Billerbeck, Diann Hunt, and Denise Hunter for an

seaboard.
One visit . . . and you’ll be smitten too.
