Wonderful book. Love the story line and love the author. Her novels do not disappoint. Highly recommend to all.

So charming. I love the Red Door Inn and the great people in the community on PEI. We met Caden in the first book of the series as the bubbly and friendly baker that brightens Marie's day, so I was thrilled to see that the second book in the series featured her as the main character. There's a lot going on beneath that cheerful mask though- insecurity, vulnerability, and fear. I loved the layers to Caden's personality; even though she has struggles and often feels like a mess, she does have a quiet confidence and is accepting of herself and her flaws. Adam is dealing with some hard stuff, and in the Red Door Inn and Caden's friendship he finds a place to rest his spirit and a safe place to begin to sort things out. Adam is super friendly and appealing to Caden who has never really dated, but his charm didn't win her over so much as his persistence ;) There is great romantic tension that steadily builds and amazing special moments that Caden and Adam share. While this book can easily be read on its own, there is a subplot that is continued from the first book dealing with inn owner Marie and her father and their finances, and reading the books in order will give you a better sense of the history of the inn and Marie and Seth's characters.

I can't believe that it took me a year to start Where Two Hearts Meet and then I finished it in a day! Once I started, I didn't want to put the book down and I because engrossed in the story.



I really enjoyed how the MC was a chef; it was fun seeing Caden make dishes and reading all about the food. I also thought that Adam was a great character. He had some difficult choices to make and yet I think he made the right one in the end.



All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed Where Two Hearts Meet. I think the previous book, The Red Door Inn, is still my favorite, but this was a great continuation. I definitely recommend it if you enjoy contemporary romance.

As a fan of Liz Johnson’s first book in the Prince Edward Island Dreams series, The Red Door Inn, I looked forward to opening Where Two Hearts Meet. Two new components of this book were Caden, the chief at the Inn and Adam, a journalist staying on the island temporarily. Both struggle with their individual challenges. The beautiful and awesome island may be just the place for them to discover answers for the peace they need. I enjoyed this novel that deals with real life issues and hope you will, too. This would be great for your TBR beach or summer list.
~I received a copy from Revell and have given my honest review.

When I started reading the book, I didn't realize the author is the same Liz Johnson who writes Love Inspired Suspense books that I've come to enjoy. What a treat! This book is definitely NOT suspense, but equally delicious in its sweet contemporary romance.

I haven't read the first book in the series, but this second book can be a stand-alone. The author gives enough background material on the other couples who fell in love or got married in the first book that nothing is out of place in the story.

The interweaving of faith and grace in the story is quite well done. The plot is paced appropriately and the backdrop of Prince Edward Island is breath-taking. I've never been and now I so want to travel up there! The writing is fluid, laden with emotion, completely honest, and tugs at the heart strings.

Caden is someone you can completely fall in love with at first page. Sweet, compassionate, loving, funny, and so insecure about herself. She needs Adam to help her realize her potential. Adam is a knight in shining armor weighed down by his past and regrets but slowly learns about grace, forgiveness, and ultimately love.

What a great read! Now I have to read the first book in the series - Red Door Inn. And I'm eagerly anticipating the third book coming out in July.

I received ARC from Revell via NetGalley. I was not required to write a favorable review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.

Who wouldn’t want to read a book based on the beautiful landscape of Prince Edward Island? I originally fell in love with the place from Anne of Green Gables, and was thrilled to go back again. The setting of the Inn was an added bonus as well as truly likeable characters. Although this was the second book in the series, it could be read as a stand-alone.

A nice addition to the Red Door Inn series. Keep them coming!

I know there are a lot of Anne of Green Gables fans out there. Well, this book is nothing like Anne, but it is set on Prince Edward Island … so if you like Christian romance and you love Anne, you’ll want to read this.

Now, a proper review for the rest of us, those of us who read and enjoyed Anne but acknowledge there are other books.

Where Two Hearts Meet is the second book in Liz Johnson’s Prince Edward Island Dreams series, following The Red Door Inn. No, you don’t have to read The Red Door Inn first—I hadn’t, and I don’t feel I missed anything. Yes, I have bought it to read now.

The novel is set in The Red Door Inn, and centres around Caden, the chef with an inferiority complex, and Adam, a long-term guest at the inn who is suffering from guilt. He invades her kitchen while hunting for coffee, she lets him because she and her boss think he’s a journalist from a big magazine who could break—or make—the inn. So we have two flawed individuals thrown into close proximity, neither of whom is prepared to share themselves with the other.

Caden is, in many ways, a difficult character to like. She’s one of the main viewpoint characters, and she comes across as a competent enough cook, but doesn’t come across as a particularly engaging character. I was about halfway through the novel before I realised this is because she doesn’t value herself, doesn’t see anything in herself to value. She sees herself as a frightened failure.

But that’s not how Adam sees her, and that’s where the novel goes from solid to excellent: as we begin to see Caden through Adam’s eyes, and as Adam begins to thaw and become the person he’s meant to be … through Caden’s influence, and the influence of others. Anyway, the story improved a lot once I made this connection.

Overall, Where Two Hearts Meet is a lovely story of discovery and redemption with a hint of mystery, and I’m looking forward to reading the other books in the series.
