ABOUT THE BOOK
Jessica Ann McKenzie—“Jam” to everyone in Honey Creek—has fulfilled her dream of owning the best restaurant for miles around. Serving candlelit dinners to every couple in town on Valentine’s Day is a reminder of another dream, one she’s just about given up on. Until, that very night, Sergeant Tucson Smith clambers out of the muddy river and onto her land, bringing the promise of something they’ve both been searching for.
When McCoy Mason crashes on Interstate 45, he doesn’t just bust up his Mustang, his leg, and his relationship. He also loses his prospects of a job and apartment in Houston. Honey Creek, home to his estranged grandfather, offers a temporary respite, a place to recover before moving on again. After all, what permanent use could a town so picture-perfect have for a man like him?
At sixty-seven, Charles H. Winston III lives by order and routine. One of his most cherished rituals is a regular lunch date with three lovely ladies at the Honey Creek Café, including the very proper Miss Lilly Lambert. But it’s not too late to surprise the whole town—or himself—by seizing a chance for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. And there’s no better season than spring, when the warm breeze blowing in from the Brazos River brings fresh hope and second chances to those who need them most . . .
MY THOUGHTS
Small town and charming Honey Creek, Texas has its fair share of a variety of residents but in this book in the series they seem to have caught the Love Bug!
Jessica Ann McKenzie— “Jam” as she’s known to everyone has had her dream come true opening the best restraint around. While serving candlelit dinners by candlelight, she’s also serving up romance this Valentines Day and she’s so happy to see it.
There are several different stories of love in this Valentine’s Day lovely romance. My favorite was the older couple and the youngest couple.
A lot of different vibes and emotions going on. A little drama, a bit of confusion and a whole lot of love. Lovely series of which I’ve read several books in the series already.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions expressed are my own.
