Say I Do

Kilby delivers a sweet, G-rated second small-town romance in her Sweetheart, Montana series (after Long Lost Christmas). Brianna Renton still pines for Angus Adams, the one who got away—though she was the one to break up with him five years ago, pushing him away for his own good when he received a scholarship to study architecture in California. Now Angus is back in Sweetheart to visit his mother before starting a job in Sacramento. When the foreman overseeing the construction of the town’s new community hall lands in the hospital, Brianna and Angus are thrust back together to finish the project before Sweetheart’s first annual Cherry Blossom Festival, which Brianna is organizing. For his part, Angus never understood why Brianna dumped him; he’d been on the verge of proposing and still wears the engagement ring on a chain under his shirt. As the start date for Angus’s job gets closer, the pair are faced with a choice: take a leap of faith, or risk being unhappy forever. The fast pacing and confident prose neatly advance the narrative, the hero and heroine will capture hearts, and an endearing supporting cast, including vintage shop owner Kylie, add charm. Readers will hope to visit this winsome town again soon. [em](July) [/em]
