About the book:
Penelope Hunter loves her job as the event manager at one of Savannah's
premier historic venues--until her ex-fiancé walks into her office with
his new bride-to-be. Surely she cannot be expected to plan their wedding.
To make matters worse, a scheming social matriarch is threatening to
take her big-ticket event elsewhere, especially if Penelope insists on
being seen with her best friend, Tucker Westbrook.
Since
returning from serving two tours in the Middle East, Tucker has built a
thriving security company. His work is nearly as stabilizing as his
lifelong friendship with Penelope. But when the lone candidate for
county sheriff goads him, Tucker loses his cool and ends up on the
ballot--and on the receiving end of a smear campaign claiming the
Westbrooks were traitors to the South.
To clear his name, Tucker
and Penelope must join forces to find the truth behind a lost Civil War
treasure. But the more time they spend together, the closer she comes to
losing her job--and falling helplessly in love.
My review:
This book was too cute for words! I love the story lines where best friends fall in love and this was one of the best! There were so many cute moments as Tucker and Penelope tried to hold onto their friendship while falling for each other, the lines getting blurred between reality and pretending. And talk about some swoon-worthy kisses! The historical aspect was fascinating, too, as we see into the past through journal entries and what another woman went through in Atlanta near the end of the Civil War, plus another love story! The search for the treasure was interesting. Both Tucker and Penelope were Christians but realized they weren't checking with God like they should have in planning their lives. Tucker was a bit impulsive and felt he had something to prove to his dad. Penelope felt rejected and had a hard time trusting. This worked well as a stand-alone but I definitely want to read the first two. I highly recommend this book!
I received this book free from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
