This sweet, well written story is one I had read it before, and I liked it even better the second time around. I loved the characters. The family, friendships, and romantic relationships fit neatly into place.
Hometown Proposal can be enjoyed as a standalone novel, but I would encourage readers to read all three books in this series.
Elise and Seth have a past that she can’t seem to get over. She doesn’t want to talk to anyone about it. Seth takes a job in town working at the Recreation Center so now Elise has to see him. Events happen that cause them to spend time together. One of the biggest events is his daughter Olivia who has taken an immediate liking to Elise.
The story is an emotional read. I really enjoyed how they both have changed since their first time together and now they are both asking God to direct their lives. Really good book.
