The Hearts of Clover Collection – I’m not normally one to fan-crush, but I’ll admit I was totally hooked after reading the first story in the Clover Collection! BTW, it’s just as good the 2nd time around when I re-read all the books. Danielle Stewart’s series introduces some wonderful new characters who are brought together in the poor small town of Clover, NC. Half My Heart is the first in the series and set at Christmastime. At first you may think it’s going to be another sweet holiday story. It is, but as each book reveals new twists and turns you soon realize it is much more. There is real depth to these characters as you discover their backgrounds and personal stories. I enjoyed how each chapter title is a character’s name and written from that character’s POV. It really helps to get inside their heads and know what they are thinking and feeling. The series can be read in order or each book can easily stand alone. If you aren’t completely sold and want to know more, a mini-overview of the storylines is below. Honestly, just go read this collection and fan-crush for yourself. Each book is more enjoyable than the last. ~JDM
