Apple Blossom Bride Book Review

I was excited to read this right after the previous book in the series and I was super glad that my version had them in the same book so I knew which order to read them in.  I enjoyed Apple Blossom Bride (Serenity Bay, Book 2) (Love Inspired #389) by Lois Richer.  It was nice to follow along with the story and go from one character in this small town to the next.

After a car accident, Ashley Adams came home to Serenity Bay to heal her broken body - and her broken spirit. Her former teen crush, Michael Masters, was the last person she expected to see in town and he was even handsomer than she remembered. Planning the town's winter festival brought Ashley back in contact with the dedicated single dad, and Ash found herself falling for him all over again, as well as his darling daughter. Yet pain-filled memories of the past threaten their budding romance. Only Ashley's search for the truth can lead them to love beneath the blossoms.
 
Ashley is a childhood friend of Piper's who we met in the last book and Ashley is now coming back to Serenity Bay to heal just like Piper did.  Ashley is hesitantly revisiting her childhood home after being in car accident and breaking up with her boyfriend.  When she returns, she sees her childhood crush, Michael.  Michael is now a single father who is raising his daughter in the same small town where he grew up with the help of his mother.  He gave up his whole life and is trying to settle into teaching in a small town instead of chasing his dreams.  Both are trying to put the past to rest but you have to pick up the book to find out what happens.  I hope that you check out this book and other Love Inspired books and enjoy them as much as I have!!  I know that you will like this fast read set in this cute small town that pulls together in a crisis.
