*What Selinda Thought*This was a beautiful and utterly lovely story. A wonderful novella that's packed with emotion and will leave you beliving in love. Jess is a young woman who seems to have fallen into a pit of sorrow and dispair. She has lost her husband; her much older husband and life has just stopped around her. The saving grace; even if she won't admit it, is a voice on the phone. A strong, gentle and caring voice belonging to her financial planner...Preston. It's been a year and he's become her bright spot, her champion and seeemingly a breath of sorrow free air. It's a wonderful story of letting go and learning to love again. Heather B. Moore rounds out the story with the introduction of a great group of besties and a set of evil stepchildren. For a short novella there is sure a lot of conflict packed in.What happens when what your heart desires isn't what society thinks is proper? What happens when it seems that everyone is against your happiness? What happens when the only thing keeping you grounded and happy suddenly disappears? All that and more fill the pages of the Daisy Chain. It's a contemporary and current story. The honesty that the author offered comes across simply and graciously. I absolutely loved this story!I laughed and cried. Yes, there's that much packed into this little gem. The sorrow and loss that Jess feels pours off the page and grips your heart. The heat between Preston and Jess sizzles, my tummy fluttered at the quiet moments between them. It's beautiful and sweetly written. Every word had me wanting more; one more page, one more chapter. I'm so glad that this is just the first in the new series (Aliso Creek) because I so want to know more. I also am dying to see how many more "new memories" can be conjured up by these two.
