Well, this is such an exciting time!! Many of my long time
favorite authors have books coming out this fall, and it truly feels like an
abundance of riches!
In “On Magnolia Lane”, author Denise Hunter continues the Blue
Ridge Novels series, as we learn more about the relationship between Daisy and
Pastor Jack.
Pastor Jack McReady has long loved Daisy, proprietor of the local
flower shop “Oopsy Daisy”. But as her Pastor and sometimes counselor, Jack feels
he cannot cross that line to reveal his heart. So he remains silent….but is
slowly dying inside as he watches her look for love, going on dates with people
who can’t know or appreciate her the way he does.
Daisy’s dad passed away and she, her mom, and Gram are still
very close. When Daisy finds out her mom is going to sell her childhood home,
she is taken aback by yet another change in her life….and then accidentally
discovers a potentially difficult secret about her dad. With all the change, she almost gives up on
the dating app, Flutter, that she has been using.... but.....
...when Jack’s (and Daisy’s, for that matter) well intentioned
friends secretly set up a profile for him on Flutter, they connect on the app. But as they have
more written "conversations" and grow increasingly closer- but Daisy has no idea
it’s Jack in real life AND online…and she begins to feel conflicted about her feelings for both men. And Jack feels guiltier with every interaction.
This is a stand alone book, but as (almost) always, you will
find much more enjoyment when you read the entire series in order. The
supporting cast and their relationships, and decisions in this book, will make
a lot more sense and it simply adds to the depth, IMO. But hey, my opinion is
why I make the big bucks here. J
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book by Thomas Nelson
Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
