4 1/2 STARS!
I always enjoy my trips back to Whistle Stop, New Mexico! The comfort of seeing so many characters you recognize is great, the atmosphere is fun and it’s just exciting to see who’s story you’re going to learn about this time! I loved the story, but I couldn’t fall in love with the characters quite as much this time just because Joe kept irritating me with his hot and cold attitude towards Piper.
Piper Noble has a successful business with Poppin’ Fresh Bakery, and she’s wanting to expand into the empty storefront next door. She’s just finishing up tolerating her mother’s latest tirade about how she needs to lose weight, when Joe steps into her life.
Joe Montoya stops by to introduce himself because he’s just bought the store next door and is starting a remodel to open his coffee shop, Fill-It-Up Joe. Piper is obviously very disappointed, and they get off on the wrong foot.
They continue to irritate each other, even when trying to make amends but are finally forced to interact when they are made co-leads of the planning committee for the Autumn Fest event the town is planning to raise money for town revitalization. Sparks will fly, tempers will flare and fun will commence!
