Publisher's summary

Once again, the Widows of Butternut Creek are determined to find a bride for Pastor Adam. This time, their candidate is as gun shy as the pastor! A traumatic experience as a college freshman has left Gussie Milton "once bitten, twice shy." Although she'd like a relationship, she's frightened, so she's thrown herself into caring for her aging parents, her photography business, and her church.

In the eyes of Miss Birdie and her friend Mercedes, aka "the Widows," Gussie would make their young pastor the perfect wife. And though the attraction proves mutual, first Gussie's past and then the pastor's hopes for the future threaten to keep them apart. Can the Widows' meddling be the catalyst that changes the couple's lives forever?

Not Enjoyable

Would you try another book from Jane Myers Perrine and/or Chris Sorensen?

No, I would not. This was not a well-written story and the narrator made it even worse.

What was most disappointing about Jane Myers Perrine’s story?

This book seems to want to be like the Mitford series. Small town preacher (with an unruly dog) takes in kids who need a home. There are quirky small town residents and a slowly evolving love story. The characters are not well developed. I don't believe that anyone would act the way they act or talk the way they talk. The book's formula was: introduce a problem and then solve it so quickly a person could get whiplash while listening. Throw in a few silly, slapstick events (i.e. the Christmas tree scene) and call it good.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Chris Sorensen?

No idea. I am sure that the best narrator in the world cannot save a flimsily written book.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Irritation. I could NOT wait to finish it. And when I did, I felt a great sense of relief.

Any additional comments?

I cannot recommend this book.

I enjoyed listening to this book

This is the second book of the series. I enjoyed the characters, story and the audio performance of both books.

too much and too little.

feels like this was written by a retired nun or a 14 yr old girl. someone with no life experience in what they are writing about. pleasant, but bland.
