This is another story that takes place in Turtle Creek, Wisconsin. Carol Horn is a bridal shop owner who has just lost her beloved mother. She meets the new assistant pastor of her church, Luke Peters, (in a rather unusaul way!) and she pretty much feels he could be the man of her dreams and the answer to her prayers. Luke though has a complicated and not to pretty past. Luke too feels that Carol could be the one woman for him. The problem is a mission trip Carol feels called to go on. Will this keep her from her chance with Luke??
I enjoyed this story. There was a little bit of mystery surrounding the character of Luke, and I wasn't sure about his true character right away myself, although he was a hard man not to like. I also wasn't exactly sure how the author was going to bring this story to a close at the end, but enjoyed the way God works alll things together for good to them that love God. An enjoyable book to read.

The Easter Edition returns us once again to Turtle Creek. This time we focus on Carol Horn. She has just lost her mother and was dreading the funeral. While sitting and listening to the service the handsome man sitting next to her wonders why they keep calling his aunt by a different name. Turns out Luke was attending the wrong funeral. Carol and Luke are instantly attracted to one another. Then she finds out that he is the new assistant Pastor at her church. Carol's desire is to go on a one year missions trip. Because of his shady past Luke's desire is to Pastor an inner-city church. Does having different desires mean that God doesn't want them together? Find out in this latest edition.

I enjoyed this installment of the Turtle Creek series. You get a glimpse of Lucy, Jodi, Della and of course, Ulilla as they all help Carol through her troubles. There is lots of family dynamics happening in this story and it's interesting to see how the Lord works things out. Luke and Carol are really neat characters. Both are very strong and yet each has there issues. Robin once again gives you an unexpected gasp at the end. I love that about her writing. You could read this as a stand alone but it's a lot more fun when you have read The Christmas Edition and The Valentine Edition.

This is book 2 in the Turtle Creek series. Jodi Williams finds herself leaving the city behind her and taking a job at the Turtle Creek Newspaper in rural Wisconsin. As she drives into town in the middle of winter she rescues a hurt dog and the vet, Josh Thomas, and her have an immediate atttraction to each other. Jodi is learning to love her new job and the town and her new boyfriend, but then Della, the veterinarian's assistant, shares a secret with her that could ruin Jodi and Josh's relationship. Although I enjoyed reading book 2 in this series, I must say I enjoyed book 1 in the series more.… (plus d'informations)

Jodi Williams wasn't happy about moving to Turtle Creek. She was a Chicago girl who wanted a job with the Tribune not a small town paper. But she also wanted a chance to get away and heal her broken heart after her best friend married her boyfriend. The story opens with her almost hitting a dog when coming into town then watching as the dog was struck by another driver who keeps driving. As she is comforting the dog trying to figure out what to do along comes Josh Thomas who just happens to be a vet. The attraction is instant. Josh's receptionist, Della, notices the attraction too and out comes her claws. She has set her cap on Josh and is willing to do anything to keep him away from Jodi. Will Jodi only find heartbreak in Turtle Creek? Will Josh win the girl of his dreams?

This was a delightful addition to the Turtle Creek Series. I love Robin's writing and the way she uses words. She holds your attention through the entire book. Jodi is someone we can all relate to. She is sweet, kind and caring but doesn't feel loved. Josh is a VERY romantic hero. A man who is thoughtful, kind and truly listens. I'm sure we have all experienced a Della in our lives but I love the way Robin handled her as well. Although not a suspense the twist toward the end was not what I expected which made it even better. You also get to see all the characters from the Christmas Edition which is fun. You don't need to read the Christmas Edition to have The Valentine Edition make sense but I highly recommend reading them in order for a richer story.
