Kalira | May 12, 2024 |    ) Asheley | Oct 15, 2020 |  ) judyg54 | Jan 4, 2018 | ) Bette_Hansen | Nov 3, 2015 | Madeleine Houser is an author that is on a tight deadline. While writing her novel, she decides to move to Clayburn, Kansas, to be closer to her mom that is in a nursing home suffering from Alzheimer’s. She moves into her sister’s house that she is having refurbished to sell after her husband gets transferred to Ohio. Thinking she can write anywhere, Maddie takes her sister up on her offer; however, she soon finds out it is impossible to write when there is so much commotion and chaos going on around her. Her elderly neighbor, Ginny, suggests she write at her friend’s inn, whose wife had died several years ago and doesn’t have many people at the inn anymore. Maddie finds that she loves the inn and her writing flourishes there, as well as the daily notes that she writes back and forth with the inn’s owner, Arthur, who she has never met. They both enjoy writing these little notes to each other, thinking that the other person is “safe” because they are older, so they won’t get hurt. Little do they realize that they are both young adults in their thirties, even though they think the other is the same elderly age as Ginny. What will happen when they finally do come face-to-face after so many weeks of letter writing? I love this novella collection so far, even though I wish each one was longer, because they do seem very rushed and they could use more detail. With that being said though I can’t wait to read A February Bride. I would rate this novella a 4 out of 5 stars, and would recommend this to anyone that likes a short quick romance.

HTML: A year's worth of novellas from twelve inspirational romance authors. Happily ever after guaranteed. What will happen when novelist Madeleine Houser's "pen pal" friendship with a lonely widower takes an unexpected turn? Who can work in a house that's overrun by contractors and carpenters? Not Madeleine Houser, a successful novelist who gladly accepts the help of her octogenarian friend, Ginny, to arrange for a temporary office in the charming bed and breakfast owned by Ginny's friend, Arthur. Maddie's never met the innkeeper??but a friendship grows between them as Maddie and Arthur leave messages for each other each day. To Maddie's alternate delight and chagrin, she seems to be falling for the inn's owner??a man who's likely many years her senior??and who she's never even met. Arthur Tyler is a college professor who lost his young wife to cancer. Together they ran the bed and breakfast where Art lives, but without his wife, the house is missing warmth and cheer. He jumps at the chance to have author Madeleine Houser use the space that was once filled with guests. He, too, begins to enjoy the daily exchanges with Maddie, but a series of misunderstandings lead him to believe she's far from being a prospective date??even if he were ready to date again, which he's not. When Maddie and Art finally meet and discover one another's identity, sparks fly. Even so, they each have obstacles to overcome in order for this winter romance to blossom. "Having been the mother of the bride twice and the mother of the groom once, it's fun planning a virtual wedding. Then again, writing A November Bride made me responsible for every aspect of the wedding, including making sure the couple made it all the way to the 'I do's!'" ??Beth K. Vogt, author of A Nove Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

It was mostly lighthearted and lightly amusing, with tropey and slightly sweet misunderstandings, but mingled with some heavier topics that perhaps weighed heavier for the contrast. Details such as
However, the expected resolution and happy ending came to a nice, light touch. (
