My Thoughts:
Ivy Hayes comes from the same place as Dolly Parton. She reminded me that I have that place on my
bucket list – will have to place it closer to the top. She could be considered a true entrepreneur
since she started her business while still going to school. And working with friends is a nice perk. But on the flip side, what they do for a
living seems to be sad even though in the long run they are helping people.
Becket Jones is man whose job could be considered totally opposite
of Ivy’s. But where her job hurts
someone, his entertains – ok his hurts too but his is physical where hers is
mental. It was just so hard to imagine
these two having things in common enough to start a relationship and then to
maintain said relationship. But this is
one good thing about our author – she somehow twists the story to show that it
can work. She doesn’t give up on her
characters.
I found myself coming to enjoy the secondary characters here. Becket has a couple of nieces that know just
what to do when it comes to scene stealing.
Then we have a couple where the wife thinks that Ivy will be perfect for
her friend. It left me wanting to go
back and read their book, He Loves Me…Knot,
again. This was one downside for
me. I started looking out for the
secondary characters to carry this story along.
And I had such high hopes for Becket after meeting him previously. But overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the book
and I got the perfect happy ending.
