Sweetheart short story
I thought it was a great book
This was a fun read and a nice reminder to not jump to conclusions!
Before we act it is so important to think ahead about what the consequences or our actions may be. True love can overcome most obstacles.
Reading this book for the second time was as enjoyable as the first. I appreciate the character development and the attention to setting details. I could picture the setting better this read and picked up on details I missed the first read. Great story for the cold days of winter!
You never know when it how things can change very quickly in life. It is a!ways good to have all the detail s, or not to make decisions too quickly. Prayer helps work a lot of things for the good.
Brief and predictable but entertaining.
Really enjoyed this book. It was hard to put it down.
Sweet story. Light fiction. Easy read.
Missing pages
This is a rather unbelievable story about a woman who discovers her aunt’s diary as she is cleaning her cabin before getting married and moving in. After reading her aunt’s diary she thinks she is about to marry her half brother — but her aunt was jealous and just being spiteful when she wrote it. Oh well, … it was an interesting plot slant but not the best book I ever read.
I wish it had been longer.
Easy to know ending. No suspense from the start.
Enjoyable read
I read this short book front front to end without putting it down. Good job.
Nice light romance, quick read
Enjoyable read.
I am not sure that I would recommend this. It ended okay but I didn’t really like the whole thing. It seemed unnecessary.
I don’t remember why I thought it was just OK.
