I listened to the audible version. Great narration! I love a story that transports me into the “action”. I enjoyed the characters, how they were developed, and how they interacted. The small town vibe was charming and spot on. It’s a love story, a mystery, and a heartache all rolled in to one. I usually don’t like stories that go back and forth in time but this was well done and worked for me once I got into the rhythm. Five-star books don’t come along that often. The last one for me was probably a year or so ago. This book is special!

condensed versions
all good reads, nothing spectacular
Safe Haven is a typical Nicholas Sparks romance mystery
The Sentry is a Joe Pike mystery (McGuiver type character)
An Irish Country Courtship was a charming read about a GP doctor named Doctor O'Reilly in the Irish village of Ballybucklebo.
The Provence Cure for the Brokenhearted was a romance about a young widow who takes her son to the family home in Provence France and falls in love again.
