ARC received from publisher via Netgalley for an honest review

This is a novella in the White Pines series, and a quick story that I really enjoyed.

This story starts in the present, but we flashback and are taken on the journey of Betty and Randall's courtship. Now, I have never read a story where the leading man was a Pastor, so this was a cute addition.

The people of White Pines are all a little quirky, a bit different, a lot of fun. Betty has never really fit in and when trouble strikes, she asks Randall to help her out

There is a connection, tension between Betty and Randall that you just want them to say "who cares" to what everyone else thinks and just go for it. I live in a small town, so I could understand the everyone getting in everyone else's business, the small mindedness and pettiness.

I loved that we got more of the ladies from the other books, got a peek into where there lives are at now. And there is also some setting up for the next book in the series, Casey's story.

This is a quick, sweet, read - just enough to tide me over until the next book.
