I bought the first book in this series probably after reading a review in the Saturday Star back in 2000 when it came out in mass market paperback. I was taken by the author's unique turn of phrase and read book 2 when it too arrived a year later and bought book 3 in 2002 but didn't read it until this year. I'd had a surfeit of the author's machinations.
It wasn't until ten years later that I discovered Romances about the same time I discovered e-books. And it wasn't until just now that I discovered this author is a major contributor to the genre having written series totalling over 30 books.
In audiobook format these books are an excellent cure for insomnia.
As the title suggests Ava and Jack have returned home to the Blue Ridge after witnessing their 18-yr-old daughter's marriage in Italy. Ava in particular is struck by the silence that ensues from being an empty nester. Her daughter had occupied a great deal of space in her life that is now void even though the worry continues.
Were these women in Trinity, NFLD the dunking chair for gossiping wives would have been in full use. We get recipes including ingredients and method for several repasts somewhat lost on the audiobook. We get a Christmas Reunion that includes her paramour and the story slowly grinds to a close. Ava runs a pharmacy.
