Great book with real characters

I needed a break from my homework and went looking for a book. The title caught my eye, and I decided to download it. I am very glad I did! The characters are like people you know, and there is a good variety of them to keep things interesting. The writing is well paced and pulls you along quickly, which is good, because I really did need to get back to my homework (but couldn't until I found out how it ended). I'll be honest, I downloaded it partly because it was free. But I looking forward to the sequel, and will get it even though it isn't free ;) (hopefully I have the will power to not stay reading it until my homework is done).

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Wind Chime Café is the first in the Wind Chime series by Sophie Moss. From the setting to the characters I slid right into this feel good tale. Moss delivered an engaging tale with few twists and characters that wrapped around my heart. Mini review: Small-town charm, sweet romance with a Navy Seal hero and a little girl who will steal your heart.

I love small-town romances and getting to know the townsfolk. Not only did Moss give us a yummy, troubled Navy Seal for a hero but she also introduced lovable secondary characters that stole my heart. Annie is a woman you cannot help but admire, from her humbles begins to here fierce love of her daughter. Taylor will completely steal your heart from the very first pages. I laughed and cried for her. Will is strong, noble, and dealing with some serious issues and just like a Navy Seal he isn’t sharing or crying about it. I loved how Moss peeled back his layers sharing the man and his childhood on Heron Island. We meet members of this small community and they added depth, humor, friendship and charm. I am looking forward to their stories. Will’s Aunt is a hoot and someone I’d like to have in my corner.

Wind Chime Café is more than just romance, and I love how Moss wrapped in such topics as the environment, school violence, PTSD, wounded war-heroes and more. I easily slipped into the story and found myself immediately drawn to the café and town. The romance developed quickly, but Moss made me believe as she slowly added depth. I so wanted Will and Annie to find their happy. Moss weaved in some twists, like an old ex-boyfriend that kept me completely engaged. The tale reminded me of some other beloved series; the Virgin River series by Robyn Carr and the Sullivan’s by Bella Andre. The tale wrapped up nicely, but not before Moss had me shedding a few tears. It appears that each of these books will work as a standalone and feature a character from the small-town. I for one cannot wait to return.
