Enjoyed this one, did feel a little rushed but might be because I’m enjoying the series so much I don’t want them to end.

Reading a Jillian Hart novel is like drinking a cup of hot cocoa: warm, sweet, cozy, and ultimately satisfying.
I liked Aubrey and William's story, though I wish they had initially met under better circumstances. I suppose that helped set up the telling of William's backstory, though, which was important to understanding why he did certain things the way he did. My heart went out to Aubrey, who has (through no fault of Ava's) been overshadowed by her more outgoing twin sister, and felt very much the 'plain Jane' because of it. I'm glad that Aubrey, with William's help, was finally able to see herself as truly beautiful.

This is Aubrey McKaslin's story, and it is very enjoyable and quick to read. William, the main male character, is a very creative, artistic person who has been very traumatized by loss, and he and Aubrey have much more in common than they ever thought possible. There is one editing error that may bother those who like to check Bible verses: One verse used in the story is I Peter 3:4, but in the book it is credited as Peter 3:5. It jumped out at me first because I knew it had to be either I Peter or II Peter. I do recommend this, especially if you enjoy reading about the McKaslin clan.

A beautiful story, that unfortunately dragged on way too long for me before finally getting the "admission of Love" between the main Characters. I was a bit disappointed that the Epilogue did not go a little further into their "happily ever after"

The story was interesting, though somewhat like the other McKaslin stories but not as repetitive.
