A Match Made in Dry Creek (Dry Creek Series #10)

Dry Creek #10

by Janet Tronstad

Twenty-five years ago, a fender bender tore high school sweethearts Doris June Hargrove and Curt Nelson from each other's arms on the night they were planning to elope. And they hadn't spoken since. Now their widowed parents want to rematch the pair-- but how? Doris June agreed to return home and help her mother put together Mother's Day baskets of pansies for the women of Dry Creek. However, she "didn't" agree to see or talk to Curt. It would take much more than some pansies for her to open her heart to Curt again. But never underestimate the power of a matchmaking mother.

Reviews

[Edie Kennard · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sweet romance but very obvious and predictable.

[Mary · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a delightful surprise! A cute story with adult children of the original characters...a teen love story foiled but with a second chance. Do they take it? I won't tell. Written in the believable style that only Janet has! This is one of the "special ones" and I glad I took the time to read it even though it was published earlier on. You will not be disappointed!

Doris June and Curt tried to elope 25 years ago. They hit a stop sign and wound up in the sheriff's office and no wedding. Their parents kept them apart and then life happened. Both back in Dry Creek, will they get together again?

[Melinda · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a short and sweet Christian romance novel. It has been 25 years since high school sweethearts Doris June and Curt parted ways after a failed elopement. Now, their families want to bring them back together. Can there be a second chance at love for these 2?

Honestly, I gave this book a slightly higher rating because I love the interaction between Edith and Charley, the 2 parents are just so adorable together. Plus Curt's son, Ben, is so sweet. I love what they try to do in the community to try and get more people to visit.

A tourism promotion for one-stop-sign towns puts Dry Creek on its list. The stop sign already has its own story: two teens planning to elope hit it and misshape it. The accident and their parents prevent the elopement. Now, 25 years later can those two persons quit blaming each other and get reacquainted? Their widowed parents certainly hope so. It was an okay story by a Montana author.

Such a sweet story

[Lisa Arnold · Rating 3 out of 5]

Easy to read and easy to forget but pleasant way to spend an afternoon when its too hot to be outside. Have enjoyed most of this author's books and this one is no different.

Love Inspired

[Barbara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Janet Tronstad has a gift for creating characters that you want to be friends with. They are real, many seem like people you already know, and the small community of Dry Creek, Montana is endearing as always. It is an interesting, easy read. The story of the bent stop sign is wonderful, and the character of Aaron acts just like a publicist or promoter probably would. Enjoyable!

this one wasn't quite as good as the others in the series have been. i found it a bit lacking in details in certain areas, and it skipped too much time in the current time period.

hasn't deterred me from wanting to finish the series, nor wish i lived in a place like Dry Creek, but ...

This was a really fun, clean, romantic story. It was religious without being preachy. 25 years ago, Doris June and Curt were eloping, had a fender bender into a stop sign, and haden't spoken since. This was cute, and easy to read.

[Lacey · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was very disappointing because when anybody thinks of a Harlequin romance book usually they think of the very lovey,intimate kinds of stories,this book had none of that.It was just a blah,slow pointless story to me.

[Janelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

You really get a sense of a town like Dry Creek, she is a great author. This is really easy reading

[Judy · Rating 4 out of 5]

A free Christian romance. Clean. I liked the pansey field in the book.

[Smilinhere · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting read about a re-united love from years ago!! :)

read this one in 'larger print' -- kinda freaked me out at first, yet nice.

[Julie Akeman · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very swift humorous and romantic read. It teaches the value of patience.
