Thank you to the author for the ARC. This review is my honest opinion.
This book, by Ivory Fields, definitely showed me that I made the right choice in beginning this series. More about Jill and Brad's stories was revealed, and a new (unrelated?) mystery was uncovered. I look forward to coming books to learn more about how and if Jill and Brad move forward, and if Aunt Bitsy's long buried mystery is solved. Don't miss Book 2. You won't be disappointed!
Book 2 Ivory Fields is a very talented author. I love her writing style. The characters in this book are fully developed and believable. The storyline is heartwarming and compels you to want more. Looking forward to the next book to see we’re this goes. I was given an advanced reader copy and I am freely leaving my review.
Great story, can't believe I forgot to review it. It is wonderful to read about an older couple. Can't wait to see what happens next. Received an ARC and this is my voluntary review.
