Synopsis:~

Their mother needs a fresh start…Could he be what they’ve been waiting for?

Back in her hometown with her twin daughters, widow Marilyn Sofitel is set on never falling in love again. She’s sure her heart is safe spending time with Wyatt Walker as he works to fix the carousel her girls love. Everyone knows he’s handsome, charming…and trouble. But as they grow closer, might their unlikely friendship to develop into something deeper?

My take:~

I rarely read Love Inspired novels as I prefer a longer, more involved story that can usually be offered by these novella sized reads, and they can – generalising here – be a little too formulaic for me. So, why did I read this one, you may ask?! Allie Pleiter. I have a number of Allie’s early trade length novels and she’s an excellent writer, so thinking it would likely be a swift and sweet read, I thought I’d read outside of my usual preferences.

I should have known Allie would toss those sentiments on their head with a layered and intricate story that seemed bigger than its word count allowed. And her characters also stood out, being a little troubled, a little defiant, a little desperate to be accepted and loved by their families and their community. The sweet love story is present, a hallmark of these stories, and it was one I enjoyed as Marilyn and Wyatt worked through their private demons to forge a new path for themselves individually and together. It’s a fine line often with young children in stories, but the twins are pretty adorable too! Their Wander Canyon Wish was a delightful surprise and well worth the read.

With thanks to the author for my review copy.
