It seems this is the third book in the Blue Hollow Falls series about an small mountain town in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I had not read either of the previous books so I can honestly say this is a standalone. However, I will also admit that there is good possibility that I will go back and read the first 2. Hannah and three other friends have bought an old house in Blue Hollow Falls and are opening a lavender store with a tea room. These four women have become friends because they have all lost someone close to them and met in a grief counseling group. Each has come to terms with their loss (mostly) and now are living together and starting this venture. The Romance revolves around Hannah and Will, a stonemason who is repairing their old house. This book’s theme of loss is consistent throughout the book and what makes it a good and meaningful read. Hannah and Will realize they have both suffered loss, and between them, they develop a loving relationship. Will has a teenage son who plays a prominent role in this book, and between Jake and his friend, Bailey, I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with them. A nice contemporary read that has all the feels. The “heat quotient” was mild to moderate, so if you love a good small town story, and I am a sucker for them, this is a very good read!
