Smitten
Smitten by Colleen Cable, Kristin Billerbeck, Diann Hunt and Denise HunterNatalie Birthday Wishes by Colleen Cable
Smitten is a town in VT that has to close the mill down. The women talk about how to attract business and agree that it should be a love type business that would enhance the name of the town. Everything catering to the honeymooners and lovers. Their every wish come true. She even has the mayor on board now and is helping him redo his cabins
and they start going on dates. She doesn't really think he is the father of her sister's baby that she's had custody of for over 5 years.
Her sister only calls when she needs money. Like how her friends are more than aware of her having to eat gluten free food and they cater to her needs. She finds herself in love with the mayor and the little girl, Mia also loves him. She looks to the bible for guidance in
the scriptures.
Julia: small town, big dreams by Kristin Billerbeck
Julia had worked in an upscale spa in NY but now lives in Smitten, where she takes care of her mother. She still has the insight when it comes to transposing things like someones
makeup on their face. She's called her friend Devlin to come look at the town to not only inspire her but to monetarily fund the transformation.
Her brother Greg has asked Zak-the body builder who's local to keep an eye out for her. He
doesn't feel he has any chance of catching her eye, he's not as high class as her.
She needs more faith and hope in her life to help her get over herself and let others help where they can. Or is she gonna head back to the big city?
Her women friends have a lot of faith in her and the ending is a total surprise.
Shelby: You've Got a Friend by Diann Hunt
Shelby's shop is called Social Graces where she teaches girls how to become ladies.
Nick is a local fireman and he's helped put out a fire at Shelby's house. On his way back to her house he gets a call that his ex-wife has passed away so now he needs to make plans for his young
daughter and bring her to live with him.
Roses house had a flood from the hot water heater and now Shelby can't use her house for the classes.
Nick has come to the rescue by allowing her to use his outbuilding where in season, he sells Christmas trees and decorations. Things happen that leave her watching Nick's daughter while he
settles the trust fund for Willow. Her own child would've been the same age as her but her dad had ordered her to get rid of the baby.
I'm in heaven-Willow knows how to knit and crochet!
Like how in every story Mia has provided the lavender wreath meaning eternity and having faith in the towns survival, connects them all together.
Another thing I really like was in each story there is a daily walk/run/rollerblade exercise and talk with the 4 women. Each day a different person gets to choose the type of exercise.
Only God can help when Willow has run away.
Reese, all along by Denise Hunter
She is ready to start on the renovations with the local contractor: Griffen.
She will run the new outfitters shop in town in hopes the tourists that come will find something to do with their time, athletically.
She wants to make Griffen jealous but her plan backfires and he wants to step in and make her old boyfriend jealous that he missed out on her.
Really great how the whole book was brought together at the end, fantastic!
