review 1: I liked the overall feel of the book although it was too slow paced at times. Madeline moves into her sisters home as it's being renovated before sale because it's close to her alzheimer's mother and her sister is letting her stay there for free and write her latest novel.Madeline soon finds it's harder then she expected to write with all the construction noise and starts using a local bed and breakfast as her office per a favor of her new elderly friend Ginny. She corresponds with the gentleman that owns the inn through notes and helps to tidy up since he lets her have an office there for free. A friendship is soon born and both Madeline and Arthur the inn owner are surprised when they finally m eet and fall for each other and find out neither is as old as perceived an... mored fall for each other. Arthur is still struggling with the death of his wife Annabeth from cancer three years ago and everything is wishy washy in the beginning although I know he was trying to protect both of them from being hurt. I did feel like the wedding was a bit rushed at the end but overall a very sweet romance.
review 2: This is an adorable tale of mistaken identity. Both the main characters in this book, who originally are conversing completely through letters, assume that the other is elderly. They create a fantastic relationship, not realizing that the person they consider the "elderly person that writes me letters" is actually the attractive young man/woman that I've seen around the post office and would like to get to know.Just like in the first book of this series, the religious aspect of the story is very well written and never seems to get to the point where it could be considered too "preachy." I feel that these characters were able to display the Lord's work through their actions instead of the author's narration, making it a very smooth and quick read.Overall, I would recommend this novella to any romance readers, not only Christian romance readers. It's a fun and quick read that can bring a smile to your face at the end of a long day.Note: I received a free copy of this book from netgalley.com for honest review. less
