★★★★☆
Love and forgiveness
spin their magic as a woman discovers that home is where her heart
belongs in Emily March’s moving new Eternity Springs novel.
After another lonely Valentine’s Day, Gabi Romano trades mountain
snowfall for sunshine and sand at a luxurious Caribbean getaway. There
she discovers a hidden talent for creating fine art glass. She also
meets Flynn Brogan, the sexy caretaker next door who brings her
fantasies to life. But when violence interrupts their romantic
interlude, she learns that Flynn is living a lie. Heartsick, she decides
to concentrate on her craft. Playing with fire is safer than loving a
man like Flynn.
Flynn is determined to make things right with
Gabi—until his enemies interfere. Now damaged and driven by a need he
cannot define, he seeks out Gabi’s Colorado community, hoping for
reconciliation and some peace. But he never imagined a place like
Eternity Springs, where lives are changed, second chances are given, and
the possibility exists for two wounded souls to find their way home . .
. to each other.
I did enjoy this book. I have had a review copy of this book for years and finally decided to give it a try recently. I did read another book in the series a little more than a year before and had mixed results so I was a little hesitant with this one. Thankfully, I had much better luck with this book, and am glad that I gave this series a second try.

★★★☆☆
Daniel Garrett is no
stranger to heartache or tragedy. Once a successful detective, his world
fell apart with his son’s murder and his wife’s suicide. Leaving the
police force, Daniel devotes his life to finding missing children, but
when a case goes sour on the anniversary of his personal tragedy, he
returns to Eternity Springs hoping for some of the town’s fabled
healing.Shannon O’Toole isn’t looking for romance. After her
fiancé’s death, she closed off her heart. But she can’t deny the spark
between her and a sexy stranger at a friend’s wedding. Shannon has her
own secrets and has no place in her life for a private detective, even
one who moves her as much as Daniel. But when the pair are thrown
together on a case, the magic of Eternity Springs just might give them a
second chance.
I will be honest. This book was really not for me. I added it to my review pile without a lot of thought and overlooked it for longer than I would like to admit. I did eventually get around to it and had rather mixed results. I felt like there were some things that I did like, and some that I didn’t care for at all.

I like the whole island escape thing in Dreamweaver Trail, and it's great that this experience was better than your previous one with the series.
it's great when a book doesn't quite hit the spot, yet i would want to read more from the author. i do like the covers, especially heartsong cottage

I enjoy Amy Landon. I'm glad you were able to enjoy one of them. Some books just don't work for a person. It's hard to write reviews for them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I wonder about that scene now o_0
I have Heartsong Cottage on my Review Shelf but somehow never got to it. I think maybe because I read the book on either side and wasn't super excited to see that particularly story play out. I enjoy Emily March's books for the most part but sometimes she can be a bit too much and it sounds like Heartsong Cottage is one of those.
