Review by Library Journal Review

Rosie Hopkins's life has been full of excitement. She is engaged to Stephen, an amazing man; they are living in the cutest house ever in the cutest town; and they have a great dog. But things do not stay so great. When tragedy strikes, they decide to travel to Africa where Stephen taught school for a period of time. During this trip, their lives change forever. Now, back in their cute house and town, they see the things that once were perfect cannot accommodate their new lives. Neither is ready to give up everything they know, but they are learning that some things are worth the sacrifice. Colgan's novel shows the importance of having people in your life. Rosie and Stephen begin to realize the truth in the saying, "it takes a village." Verdict While Colgan's (Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery; The Bookshop on the Corner) novel is not chock-full of Christmas references and Yuletide cheer, it is a wonderful story about love, family, friendship, and overcoming obstacles. The town creates the perfect backdrop for this love affair, and romance readers will celebrate this latest addition to the series.-Jessica M.
