This is a heartwarming and romantic tale that is a perfect fit for readers who adore sweet and sentimental stories about the power of love, family, and community, with a dash of humor and a strong sense of nostalgia.

Oh what a sweet, heartwarming story. When Bee has to write a dear friends grandson, whose in the military, to let him know his grandmother died. It starts a series of mail and care packages that he and his comrades enjoy getting from Aunt Bee. Throw in a 7 year old as the taste tester of the cookies and you have smiles. When he comes home he meets Aunt Bee and it’s not what he pictured.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

This was a quaint, low key romance with lots of feels. I loved the letters to a soldier aspect with its old world charm of falling in love through correspondence. Even though both John and Phoebe were hurt from a previous relationship, I was ready to knock some heads together with their constant woebegone thoughts. Maybe because of the constant pity party, I felt the story lagged. I loved Tommy, the rambunctious little boy. I laughed at the antics of the seniors. Overall, this was only an ok read for me.

Loved it. A sweet romance with a young boy at the heart of the tale. It may be a bit predictable, but that is fine when we want a happily ever after anyway. Enjoyed the matchmaking senior citizens. Cute misunderstanding regarding age of Aunt Bee. I hope there is a follow-up book with Baldwin and Lisa getting together. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley.

Great weekend read! The characters were well fleshed out and the love story was engaging and entertaining to read, the book sped by!

What a truly beautiful love story. Even though Phoebe Hunnicutt is only twenty-five years old, the neighborhood kids, especially young Tommy, calls her Aunt Bee. When Phoebe first writes to Specialist John Caldwell it is to notify him that his grandmother had passed away. His letter thanking her began what would be many letters back and forth along with boxes of cookies for John and his team. John knew that the children called her Aunt Bee and assumed that she was in her sixties. When they finally meet, she is not in her sixties and their attraction to each other is evident. John knows that he will be signing up for more years in the military and has no business becoming involved with Phoebe. Will a shocking announcement for John bring them closer together or tear them apart? I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

I received an ARC audio of this book. I loved this sweet story. I am partial to military stories having family overseas serving. I enjoyed this HEA. The book was fast-paced and kept me interested that I was unable to put it down. It is a feel-good story and reads like a real-time Hallmark Lifetime story. It puts a smile on your face and warms your heart. I like stories that have POVs. The book is predictable but then again, most HEA is but it is how it is delivered. The supporting friends and family were hilarious and added so much to this story. I look forward to seeing Baldwin’s story in the future. The narrator did a good story and kept pace with the feeling of the book. I recommend this book for something to make you go….ahhh!!! with a big smile.

Phoebe is the total small town girl the one that everyone relies on Even to the point that she is raising someone else's son Tommy. Then when an old lady of the town dies she starts writing to her grandson John who is serving in the military There is soon a connection there even though John believes he is writing to some one the same age as his grandmother. Imagine his surprise when he returns home and discovers Phoebe is his own age. When it looks like Phoebe may lose the care of Tommy the two of them pretend to be in a relationship so they can keep him but there are more secrets here than anyone realises Can they have a future You will have to read to see
