Love's Sweet Beginning by Ann Shorey

This is the third book in the Sisters at Heart series.  I was not familiar with the other books in this series so I didn't know the background of some of the characters.  I think it might have helped to understand Jacob's character a little better.  However, I did not feel like I was missing anything by reading this story before the other ones in the series.

This story centers around Cassie who moves back to Noble Springs with her mother who thinks that her brother is there.  However, when they arrive, her mother's brother is not there.  They are basically penniless and leaving with friends.  Cassie, who has never worked a day in her life, decides that she needs to find a job in order to take care of herself and her mother.  She goes to Jacob's mercantile and diner and talks him into letting her work there.  Lots of misunderstandings occur throughout the story.  One of the twists involving a central character, I didn't see coming until about 2/3's through the book.  Overall, I enjoyed the story and I think I will go back and read the first two books in this series.

I received this book for free from NetGalley.  I was not required to write a positive review for receiving this book.

This book will be released on February 4, 2014.
