Review: Heartwarming and Vivid Small Town Contemporary Romance
Rating: 5 out of 5

I loved escaping into the lives and worlds of the characters in Blue Heaven. This novel is told so naturally I felt like I was Eva, building a new life in the lake region of upper Michigan. After losing her job to the economic crash and losing her twenties to an older boyfriend who selfishly led her on, marketing professional Eva returns to the small town of Blue Lake and to treasured memories of family vacations and traditions. Her ambitious project: to restore the historic property. Her obstacle: the gorgeous banker and town history buff who wants the home's integrity and style preserved. Of course, that obstacle is also the romantic interest, Daniel. A wonderful but tightlipped hero who finds himself falling in love with Eva despite other plans. He turns from hindrance to helper while Eva battles doubts about his motives and her own growing feelings of love for him. An element of danger to this wonderful heroine's plans kept me turning pages, even as the small-town atmosphere kept me relaxing in vacation mode. A beautiful escape read filled with family healing and new beginnings built with determination and character.
