Cassie is devoted to her mother. Maybe a little too devoted. When the two return to Noble Springs, they descend on Rosemary (heroine from book 2), and it seems that Cassie's mother has no intention of leaving. Cassie sees that their presence is affecting her friend's marriage and vows to get out of there. Throwing herself on the mercantile/restaurant owner's mercy, she begs for a job.
Jacob's not sure what possessed him to agree to hiring Cassie, but after a time, she becomes indispensable. Cassie turns his head, but he's significantly older than her and isn't sure that he wants to risk his heart. Also, Jacob's past is coming back to haunt him. Between his past and Cassie's mother, will they be able to find happiness?
I did enjoy this story. The only thing I felt was missing was Cassie's reaction to learning Jacob's past. I don't want to give away details, but I wished that particular element had been addressed. Other than that, it was a well written book and I look forward to reading more from the author in the future. These books are okay to read out of order, even though you read about both Faith and Rosemary in this one. Good Book!
