This was a little meh for me. Prodigal son, Wyatt, returns home for his brother’s wedding and gets caught up in his family’s drama. His uncle, Jed, is a greedy developer and has pressured Wyatt’s father, the Mayor of Cold Springs, to sell out the local farms for a new subdivision. Not so riveting. Wyatt meets pool-stick wielding Hazel, and out goes his plans to stay for the wedding and then get out of Dodge. The folksy side characters were ok. Hazel’s pet bird was cute in a fowl-mouthed (get it?) kind of way. None of the characters popped for me, and I got through the book to get through it. I would consider giving the author another try because the writing wasn’t bad, but I‘m not jumping to read the series. (6.75)
It was a cute read. Two magazine writers in conflict. Her children set up dates for her. She’s newly divorced with a tool of an ex. I didn’t feel the intense chemistry but I liked the banter. Both main characters felt a little cardboard to me. The book was nothing special but it was enjoyable. (7)
