My 5th book of the summer, and my first book for my 34 goals! The third book in the series I posted about last week. I started reading it last Thursday on our drive up to my in-laws, and finished it on our drive home on Sunday! It helped to have several hours in the car over the course of the weekend, and some time sitting outside at the cabin, too! Plus I read both Friday and Saturday night before falling asleep. What can I say; it was a hard one to put down!
Here's the description from Amazon:
Heartache. Betrayal. Forgiveness. Redemption. It's time to head back to Magdalena, New York, and spend a little time with the people we love to love and even a few we love to hate.
Eight years ago, tragedy struck the town's perfect couple, Daniel "Cash" Casherdon and Tess Carrick, days before their wedding. That tragedy shredded their dreams of a life together and sent them fleeing Magdalena. Now, destiny has brought them back and the town is determined to see this couple mend their differences.
Angelo "Pop" Benito will lead the crusade to march Cash and Tess down the aisle with the help of The Bleeding Hearts Society, a garden group more interested in healing people's hearts than helping a sick basil plant. But they're not the only ones cheering for this couple's second chance.
Who would have thought Nate Desantro would be giving advice on relationships, love, and marriage? But when a man finds the right woman, anything is possible. Add a baby to the mix; well, that's pure "hero" material. Christine will offer her share of support and wisdom to Tess and stand up to an old troublemaker in the name of family and friendship.
From the fifty-something widow who is afraid to open her heart again to the pregnant friend who believes everyone has a soul mate, to Lily Desantro, the shining light who makes others believe anything is possible, Magdalena's finest will rally to give Tess and Cash that second chance. But all the prayers and contrivances in the world won't help until Tess reveals the secret she's carried for too many years, a secret that could destroy her chance with Cash forever...
And if you're wondering about Harry Blacksworth and his brood, you'll glimpse a snippet of what he's up to, but he'll be back in full force in A Family Affair: Fall. Not only that--he's moving to Magdalena with Greta and the kids! Can you imagine Harry maneuvering a lawnmower or carrying out the trash? Oh, but his past is going to catch up with him and then...Sorry...Harry has to wait for A Family Affair: Fall to share his misery and his story.
For now, enjoy the journey as you catch up on the lives of the residents of Magdalena. They're waiting for you!

So, clearly, I loved the book. At first, I thought the story line was going to be very predictable. But a couple of chapters later, I realized it wasn't going how I thought it would. And I was drawn in from there. Does it have the obvious ending? You'll have to read it! I missed some of the other characters from the first two books; but I suppose you can't write a series without brining in new story lines and new characters. I can't wait until Book 4 is released. (According to Amazon, the release date is September 9!)
