I think the story with her grandmother sounds brilliant and touching but you still have fun and romance in the story and so it sounds like this may be my perfect summer read.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-88372949908196389722017-07-18T06:14:28.589-04:002017-07-18T06:14:28.589-04:00But you are reading books I WANT to read, I just d...But you are reading books I WANT to read, I just don't have them. I find I like the Swoon Reads books, and I am lucky that my co-blogger did a meeting with them at BEA, because small blog = no #BookMail, but they were nice enough to approve my request on NG for this. I love these HEA romances, and will read them forever.

I have heard people say they seek the comfort of an old favorite. I think predictable stories are my comfort thing. I like knowing that I am going to get certain things from the story.

If I wasn't so focused on accomplishing my bookish bingo challenge, this one would go on my summer TBR. Looking forward to this one.

There are so many cool things an author can do with this history, and I like that Honeybourn went with the tender connections they shared and those sweet looks back into their past.
