Red's Rating: 5 Heartwarming Stars

Harper Simmons is ready for a change, between the hustle and bustle of the city, and being constantly exposed to her mother's glitzy lifestyle she is feeling a little overwhelmed and ready to take a more peaceful approach to life. She has always dreamed of moving to a small town, where every one knows their neighbors and finding a real place to call home. Being the daughter of a famous mom meant they were always traveling from place to place and never really putting down roots anywhere, not to mention they were constantly under the public eye, and Harper is more than ready to close that chapter on her life. When she learns that she has received a grant from the philanthropic foundation, Harper is quite certain her dreams are finally about to come true, so she packs her bags and heads for Sunnyside Illinois to fix-up and reopen the little town library...and possibly finally find her true home!

Doctor Zach Novak has always been the pride and joy of Sunnyside, and while he has appreciated all of the love and support throughout the years it's starting to wear a little thin these days. Between everyone always being in his business, and woman constantly trying to win the heart of the good doctor he's starting to feel a little smothered and in dire need a change. He wants to experience something new, so he decides to sign up for a humanitarian mission, and finally get his chance to see the world...now he just has to figure out how to break the news to the town of Sunnyside! But the minute he thinks he's finally ready to leave he meets the town's beautiful new librarian, and his plan starts to falter...

The instant I saw the cover for this one I was intrigued, especially when I saw that Ms. Floyd was at the helm, I have always found her novels to be quite enjoyable literary escapes for me, and I am happy to say that this one was nothing short of amazing!! I was barely a chapter into it when I felt myself being drawn into these endearing characters lives, and from that point on I knew there was no way I was putting this read down until they found they happily ever after... which ultimately lead to me have a little late night reading fest, and boy oh boy was it worth the lost hours of sleep!!! I am a sucker for a well written small town romance story equipped with charming characters that draw you in and make you feel right at home, and a story line that you can't help but get wrapped up in, and I am happy to report this book definitely had all of that and then some! 

I highly recommend you acquaint yourself with the residents of Sunnyside, their small town hospitality will warm your heart, make you smile and make you never want to leave!
