Publisher Description
From a USA Today bestselling author comes a heartwarming romance about a city girl who finds herself widowed in a quirky small town and the new target of the town's relentless matchmaking Widows Club.
Head-over-heels in love, Lola Williams gave up everything to marry Randy, including a promising career in New York City. Now, after one year of marriage and one year of widowhood, Lola finds herself stranded in Sunshine, Colorado, reeling from the revelation that Randy had secrets she never could have imagined. She swears she's done with love forever but the matchmaking ladies of the Sunshine Valley Widows Club have different plans...
Sheriff Drew Taylor also knows what it feels like to be unlucky in love. So when Lola comes to him for help uncovering Randy's hidden life, Drew finds himself saying yes against his better judgment - especially with the Widows Club eyeing them both. Soon enough, Lola is upending Drew's peaceful, predictable world...and he kind of likes it! But will this big-city girl ever give her heart to a small-town guy again?
Includes the bonus novella "Kiss Me in Sweetwater Springs" by Annie Rains!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The quirky members of the Sunshine Valley Widows Club play matchmaker in this leisurely paced and entertaining series debut from Curtis (Dandelion Wishes). Lola Williams left her career as a makeup artist to move with her new husband, Randy, to his Colorado hometown. Lola struggles to break into the tight-knit community, which only gets harder after Randy's sudden death. Cleaning out his things, Lola discovers evidence that Randy was having multiple affairs, sending her on a quest to uncover the women's identities as the town's Widows Club, a support group for women who've lost their husbands, rallies around her. Sheriff Drew Taylor finds Lola's impulsive antics endearing (burning Randy's underwear in a bonfire, setting up his blow-up dolls in his former shop windows) but believes he has no room for her chaos in his life. Drew's ex-wife, who abandoned him and their six-year-old daughter, is moving back to town, and he's convinced he needs a stable woman to counterbalance his ex's influence on his daughter. Drew's slow realization of his love for Lola, nudged along by the Widows Club, sweetly parallels the townsfolk's gradual embrace of her as part of their community. Readers who enjoy relaxed stories of acceptance will be gratified. The edition includes a bonus story by Annie Rains.

Great book
Really enjoyed reading, read it in almost one sitting!
Ok Read
This book was light but it definitely took some time to get into. I liked Lola and Drew but for me, there were too many characters and I think that's what made it so hard to get in to. This was my first book by this author and while I wouldn't rush to read the next book in this series, I would read more.
