This book was an absolutely wonderful, refreshing, and heartwarming read. I must say again that it was delightfully refreshing. I read a lot of historical romance and I enjoy a lot of historical romance, but I have not enjoyed one quite to the level that I did this book in a long time. The characters - from main characters to side characters - were great. The story was cute and interesting, and downright sweet. The humor (I laughed out loud at so many things in this book!) and romance (oh my, the romaaance) were perfect. The interactions between Jeremy and Chloe's father were done so well. And the story between Chloe and her father just. . . all the feels and teary-eyed sniffling. And the twists/reveals? Those were done so well. I hope that Courtney Milan plans to write more stories involving those from the town of Wedgeford cause I loved this one. I definitely plan to add this book to those that I re-read for comfort.
