Lavender Blue

Wonderfully sweet and heartwarming. It's a story of two lost souls who have suffered great loss and are trying to find their way through the grief. Hannah Montgomery has come to Blue Hollow Falls to start over along with three friends. Together they have bought a lavender farm Wilson McCall is working on the farm when he meets Hannah for the first time. He's a widower left to raise his teenage son on his own. It's been years since he lost his wife but he's never moved on. Now Hannah is stirring his heart back to life. These two quickly form a friendship but it's not long before they are both yearning for more. Trusting and loving again may be more than either of them can handle though. Beautifully written with many emotional highs and lows. Don't miss this must read. I highly recommend it.

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Hannah and Will’s story in Lavender Blue by Donna Kaufman, book three in her Blue Hollow Falls series and I really struggled to put it down; visualizing the beauty of this place through its descriptive words. This is a story of two grieving souls struggling, along different paths after losing a loved one. Grab a box of tissues and curl up while enjoying this wonderful story enriched by friendship, love, grief, humor, and healing. Will McCall, a widower, is a stone mason, learned at his grandfather’s knee. After the death of his wife and also his mother Will left the military returning to Blue Hollow Falls to raise his son. His grief truly broke him, leaving him lost and with living an empty existence. Hannah Montgomery and her friends, also survivors of grief, moved to town to open a lavender farm. Hannah, an illustrator for children’s books, lost her seven-year old son in a car accident, which was also the end of her marriage. Will, repairing the stone work around the old farm house, finds Hannah intriguing and interesting, wanting to spend time with her. Hannah is interested in the quiet, hot man in the white t-shirt. Hannah is the yin to Will’s yang, wanting to help heal the brokenness in Will from his loss. She is the perfect antidote in assisting him move forward, working through those powerful emotions holding Will’s heart hostage and putting it back together again; open to loving another. Will’s teen son Jake, neighbor Bailey and Addie Pearl all play a role in supporting these two in healing as well as a loving relationship. Healing from grief appears in a variety of forms, and love blooms when you least expect it. Ms. Kauffman, a talented story teller, wrote a joyful, funny, tender sweet, emotional and heartwarming tale that is not to be missed. She provided a story rich with sexy banter, a little steam, emotion, and endearing characters not only giving Hannah and Will a chance at having a solid, loving future together but also a wonderful community of supportive friends. I highly recommend Lavender Blue to other readers and look forward to the next book in this outstanding series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

I received an ARC for an honest review. Donna Kauffman does not disappoint! This series has stolen my heart. A beautiful escape to Blue Hollow Falls, most excellent charecters, believable story lines... I could not ask for more! In this book we follow Will's story. He goes from a quiet man who has been a worker bee in the background of the last stories, to the forefront, his confrontation with his past and finding love again. His sine Jake continues to be an amazing part of this story and series. Will finds love with Hannah, a new charecter to the arena. She has dealt with her own tragedies and has fallen head over heels for Will. It did not take long for these to to realize the amazing family they became. That right there melted my heart. I can not wait to read more stories about the people of Blue Hollow Falls who continue to become their own intertwined family. So many to choose from... Who's next?! I vote Chey!!
