This was exactly what I'm looking for in a romance. I love how this couple takes care of each other. This also has exactly the right balance of romance to other relationships/aspects of life. I related to both main characters, but especially Ruth. This was paced a little differently than most of the romances I've read, especially at the end, but I actually really liked that about it. Talia Hibbert is more known for her more recent series, but this one is even better, in my opinion, especially if you like small town romances!
