Choosing Happily Ever After

I enjoyed this sweet story very much. I was a bit bothered that there was going to be a very sad ending, but it all works out well for a hopefully happy ending for Hope and Levi, I feel sure that Elena will provide their really happy ending later in the series.

Hope is a very different character to her identical twin sister Faith, she has remained in the small town where they were born, running a wedding business from the family ranch, following in the footsteps of her parents. She is a firm believer in happy ever after, whereas Faith most firmly doesn’t, and refuses any commitment in her life ... except when her boss Noah gets under her skin! Nevertheless she drops everything to go and help Hope when it becomes necessary. Faith’s story will obviously be the subject of another book in the series.

Hope’s wedding business is booming, but she does everything herself, and realises she is becoming extremely tired, with occasional pains in her stomach. Every wedding exhausts her. Eventually she realises that she needs help, and she should perhaps get her doctor to give her a check-up. Enter Levi, her school sweetheart. He had left town after graduation, he had been living with his uncle and aunt since his mother died when he was ten, and his uncle did not like him, making his life a misery. After a particularly bad time he left, he would have loved to take Hope with him, knowing that if he asked she would go, but he also knew that she belonged in the small town. It was a real wrench to leave her, and he loved her still. He had only returned because his uncle had died, and the fishing boat he worked on was being repaired.

Hope put an advert for help on social media, and Luke applied for the job. Hope agrees he can work for her, although she is worried about it, but it gives her a bit of time, and the opportunity to visit the doctor, and the tests come back with some worrying news. She has to call on her twin for support. Faith has reasons for never returning to the small tow, but she drops everything to help Hope.

Levi does not know about her doctor’s appointments, but he is desperate to have a happy ever after with Hope. There are quite a few twists and turns before he is able, with lots of help, make that happen. This is a good start to the new series, you are introduced to several characters who are obviously going to have their own stories told in other books, and quite a few clues to suggest that their stories will be complicated!
