Sugar Pine Trail by RaeAnne Thayne
I’m also pleased with the fact that these characters are a bit older and more focused on the reality of life and the conditions of it. Librarian, Julia Winston, is beautifully written as a woman with a sense of responsibility, yet an underlying desire to break out of the box she has put herself in. She is a warm and delicate lady with a feisty side that makes her so likable.
Julia’s new upstairs renter, Jamie Caine, really doesn’t know what to think of the antique covered apartment he’ll be living in for the next few months. He does find the plain Jane landlord a bit fascinating though— Okay, I know what you’re thinking— the plain Jane girl becomes beautiful after guy sees what she looks like on the inside or that under all those clothes she is a rocking sex bomb and now he’s ensnared. NO. There are so many outside subplots to keep you reading and very little sexy time. It’s a nice change of pace for me as a reader/reviewer.
All I can say is that this was a wonderful ride with funny town folk, good hearted people, and a beautiful sense of community wrapped in a love story.
A great holiday read.
