Helen's Review
I really enjoyed my visit back to Cedar River the Culhane’s are a lovely family and seeing Joss and his two beautiful daughters find happiness and joy was wonderful, although part of a series it can be read and enjoyed as a stand -alone.
Marnie Jackson, school teacher is on a mission to find her grandmother and Cedar River is her destination but what she find there will change her life for the better, when she has a minor accident and meets Joss Culhane, who turns out to be her landlord and his adorable daughters Marnie finds out what love really is.
Joss lost his wife years ago and is a fabulous father to his daughters, he is content and of course has his wonderful family always with him, but when he meets Marnie the new school teacher Joss is starting to think that life might just be a little better with Marnie in it and his daughters love her as well.
This is another beautiful story in this series, Helen Lacey really knows how to put emotion and joy in her stories and I do love the setting what could better than a small town, a ranch and some snow. Joss is a hero to die for and Marnie is strong and knows what she wants. This one had me turning the pages and smiling throughout and it is one that I highly recommend.
My thanks to the Author for my copy to read and review
