"Mending Her Heart" by Judy Baer


About this book:

  “After quitting her high-powered job, Catherine Stanhope heads home to Pleasant, Minnesota, to rest and regroup. When she arrives at her late grandmother's house, Hope House, she finds a handsome caretaker and his adorable nephew fixing up the place. This is not what she had in mind! Catherine is thinking of selling Hope House and starting fresh. But Will's determined to honor her grandmother's wish to restore the beautiful Victorian mansion to its former glory. Can he convince Catherine that together they can turn this house into a home—and turn their partnership into true love?”

My personal Rating-

At first, I wasn’t enjoying this book as much as I thought I would due to the head jumping and insta-attraction between Catherine and Will, but it ended up being cute. Definitely not my favorite by this author, but it had a good faith message. Major fans of Hallmark movies would probably like this one the best.


See y’all on Friday with a new review!
