Love’s Sweet Beginning by Ann Shorey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This story is the third in the Sisters at Heart series. I have not read the previous two books in the series. This book stands alone as a good story, but I will be collecting the other two and reading them now that I’ve enjoyed this one so much.
Cassie Haddon and her mother have fallen on hard times in the wake of the Civil War. Forced to find employment to support them, Cassie discovers she enjoys being useful – almost as much as she enjoys the attention of her employer. If only her mother would let go of the past and enjoy the new future they have. Jacob West is hiding a secret that could destroy him and the business he’s spent years building, not to mention any chance of winning the heart of a certain young lady he’s hired to bake pies.
A good solid story with lots of sweet romance and engaging characters. Worth the read!
