Description: Anne Stanborough, a well known mystery writer, inherits her maiden aunt's book store, Perfect on Paper. The lawyer handling her aunt's estate is none other than the handsome Jake Harrison, but despite his attraction to the beautiful author, his painful divorce has made him wary of a marriage between two driven professionals. Anne can't let go of the career she's worked her entire life towards, and he isn't willing to make a second mistake in marriage. It looks like they should call the whole thing off until Anne discovers that her late maiden aunt might not have been so "maiden" after all… A love story from the past tugs this couple back together again, but will it be enough to prove that a love founded in God really can overcome anything?
What a delightfully, cozy read, the warm fuzzy blanket you love to wrap around you on a chilly day, snuggling in for some comforting HEA.
Anne is intelligent and struggling with career decisions that will change the course of her life. Jake is also intelligent, but he knows where his future lies, a future he's chosen because of a painful failure in his past. They face a storm, a sweet mystery, and their own preconceived ideas of what a forever relationship should be. The heroine and hero both captured my heart, and I wanted so much for them to find happiness together.
Add in some wonderful secondary characters, and it's a satisfying read from beginning to end. Ralph, Anne's mother, and memories of Anne's aunt, so many little touches creating a sense of realness. The banter between Jake and his brother Greg was hilarious, and I'm hoping there's a story coming for Greg. Learning that some of the stories shared within the tale are anecdotes from Patty's own family added to the charm. "God had no problems, just plans."
