Did I mention that there wasn't any typical drama towards the end that I find in almost every novel? Oh my, I LOVED this!!
It's time for a re-read and making sure that I don't get distracted by anything else!

'The best is yet to be!'
I usually like plots where there's a wedding involved cause they are pretty fun to read. And this was no different. The setting and the history of the of the setting was beautifully written.
Blurb - Every year there's a competition for the best wedding destination where the Heart's Landing has been holding the top spot since 10 years and this year is no different. The people are pulling all the strings to stand first. But the real motivation behind sending Tara Stewart to judge the place by the magazine, Weddings Today, could very well damage the reputation of the town. Jason Heart, descendant of the founder of the town, is tasked with giving Tara a tour of the town. Will Tara really debunk the myth on which Heart's Landing was established and maybe lose the one chance at love she has?
I really loved the way even tiny details were described, giving the whole book an amazing appeal of history. Those who like the trope of love at first sight will find this story an awesome treat! I might as well add that it has a definite amount of cheesiness. Be ready to drip in it ;)

A book based on second chance romance, with small town romance mixed in it, along with a bookshop owner and an architect naturally brings one word in mind - Magical. And this book was magical. Throughout the book I was focused on the descriptions of the place and boy, did I want to go there!
The romance was as magical as the setting.

Blurb - Jamie is the owner of True Love, a cafe bookshop. It's been her dream since childhood to become a published author. She used to go to True Love and think about owning it one day. That's where she met Sawyer for the first time. They became highschool sweethearts but then broke up only to meet after 15 years. But now circumstances have changed, especially because they are on the opposite sides and victory for one would mean destruction fir another.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sawyer and Jamie truly were a treat to watch. And there's another couple in there which were very adorable. Lately I have read a few novels wherein I was not able to feel the tension between the main characters but this is definitely not one of them. And that's the beauty about second chance romances. It was truly an amazing read!

Shall We Dance by is a book I'm finding hard to put down in words. Was it beautiful? Yes. Was it insightful? Double yes. Did it have the right amount of romance? Triple yes. I mean, it was so much more than a contemporary romance. I am a dancer and everything about it just catches me. And it was seriously described in such an enchanting way that I couldn't help but get wrapped into it. What's more? It was like an entry point for various important issues that we face in our society. I was properly satisfied with the characters, the descriptions and how the plot turned out.

I'm not lying when I am saying that I didn't cry. I was able to hold back my tears from spilling all over the place. Such was the book. And honestly, it wasn't just the plot or the characters that engaged me in the book, it was also the way the book was written, with so much purity that it was very difficult for me to stop reading after some point.
Although the story focuses on Adam and Jolene, it talks about more important issues. It discusses how important it is for a child to have a proper family, how important it is for a person to feel loved. It is also focuses on the circumstances that a family goes through when a family member dies. It talks about how a single moment can change a person's life. The need to be able to adapt to changing circumstances. The need to realise the importance of oneself and the fact that no one should be able to make you feel small and think otherwise. The need to raise your voice against a wrong that happened to you, to set a precedent for others to be able to gather that courage. The need to be true to yourself about your feelings. The need to work towards your dream and never give up whatever the situations be. And sooo much more.
Trust me when I say that it wasn't only these parts which made the content more substantial. It was the power of the book which made me feel plenty of things. The characters were not only relatable but they were also inspiring figures. And the thing that actually made me love this book so much more was the lines. It was the lines that took my breath away, ahhh.... So beautiful.
And, if I start quoting, I wouldn't be able to stop. So, there's no doubt that I loved this book. And this falls into the category that whenever I'll see something that erupts my heart with joy, I'll remember this book. And I won't stop talking about this book till the people around me will get tired of me.
