Sunday at the Sunflower Inn by Jodi Thomas What is better than a wonderful small-town romance? Exactly what happened in this book…more than one romance happening in that wonderful small town! What I liked: * The return to Honey Creek…the wonderful small town with romances happening * The couples that found their HEA-HFN * McCoy Mason: builder, loner, injured, just out of the hospital, rootless, in Honey Creek to heal with his crusty distant grandfather * Sadler Mason: McCoy’s grandfather, owner of historical property, under pressure from big business to sell, a quiet man deeper than he appears * John Mason: McCoy’s father…would like to get to know him better * Melody Avenida: seventeen, in love, has controlling parents, in love with Mike * Michael Alderton: Army Private, foster system graduate, loves Melody * Jessica Ann Mackenzie – Jam – café owner, single, has dreams with roots in Honey Creek * Tucson Smith – Army Sergeant, career military, CID officer, travels the world, big and a bit abrasive with a soft center – for Jam. * Mr. Winston: so nice to catch up with this warm, generous, caring man and watching his journey with Miss Lilly * Seeing how Pecos and his family are doing * The “murder” mystery * The Mason family history and learning why the land is so important to them * The fairy girls and their story * Doc Baylor Blanton: veterinarian, kind, loves animals, might have an interest in a cowboy that is not a cowboy * Roberto and his cousin, Leo, that helped McCoy out in the beginning of the book * That the story was believable, drew me in, made me care, and fall in love with the characters * All of it really except… What I didn’t like: * Everything I was meant not to like…won’t list the people or events but there were a few * Having to wait for the next book in the series Did I like this book? Yes Would I read more in this series? Definitely! Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington-Zebra for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
