Margo Hoornstra is talented with a capital "T"!!! All of these books were instantly captivating and quick reads. Each one was connected, as each of the characters knew each other from high school, but each one had their own unique story to be told.***In Glad Tidings, Hoornstra tells Jake and Bethany's story. It's filled with a little heartache. After all, Bethany just lost her husband, who just happened to be Jake's friend. Seeing Jake again, cause all kinds of feelings for Bethany, bringing back memories from the past for both of them. I absolutely adored both Bethany and Jake and really loved watching them realize their feelings for each, 25 years later! The sparks constantly fly, and the romance is captivating.***In Next Tuesday At Two, Hoornstra changes things up a bit. Matt and Blane are friends from the past. In fact, they aren't really friends. They just recently met when Matt invests in Blane, but the sparks fly instantly and they fight it. When Blane leaves to head to her class reunion, Matt won't let her go with out a fight so he follows her. After that, the past catches up to both of them, and the story really takes off! With passion and fireworks, Hoornstra created an engaging, fast read.In To Be or Not, Barry and Amanda's story is my favorite of the three. Barry wronged Amanda in high school, and he's never forgotten it....or her. Amanda hasn't either. Neither one want to go to the class reunion, but can they risk their hearts a second time? This one was a wonderfully gripping story that flew by too fast for me. I didn't want to say good bye to Barry and Amanda. Watching them together, seeing them move on from the past and the forgiveness shine through, added so much depth to this fast read.I totally recommend all three of Ms. Hoornstra's stories. They're fast reads, and perfect for that relaxing evening. These stories are the perfect tellings of second chances and romance mixed with heartache and forgiveness.  All are 5 Book worthy, and captured me completely. I am now a forever fan of Ms. Hoornstra's work! I can't wait to see what she has in store for old and NEW fans!*This review is based on a complimentary copy which was provided for an honest review*
