Her Hearts Desire By Shelley Shepard Gray Book Review

Mary Margaret Miller needs an escape from her small Amish community. She boards a bus, all alone, for a vacation in Pinecraft, Florida. Meeting Betsy and Lilly on the way, she's amazed to find two kindred spirits. They become fast friends and determine to have the best two weeks of their lives. For Mary, it starts when she meets Jayson Raber. The handsome and charming carpenter is taken by Mary from the get-go, but he has responsibilities back home in Kentucky--including a girl he's supposed to marry.

When someone from Mary's past shows up in Pinecraft, it seems like her perfect vacation is ruined. But that's nothing compared to what's coming when she realizes what Jayson has been hiding.

My Thoughts:

Another charming story in Pinecraft, Florida. The author once again doesn’t disappoint in this book.  I always look forward to a new series from Shelley Shepard Gray. This current series is “A Season in Pinecraft”, what’s not to like about a resort town! This is different as the characters aren’t in their community and are surrounded by family. 

I loved the characters in this book. They were completely relatable and with all their quirks and insecurities you can’t help but not to adore this group of young ladies who feel odd and like misfits in their communities. Their friendship is sweet and heartfelt,The main character is Mary Margaret Miller. She is just looking for a vacation but instead, she finds kindred spirits in her newfound friendship. She wants to put home behind her for a while. Mary has been bullied by Ester for many years. Ester shows up in Pinecraft and in staying in the same place. A 

Jayson Raber fills stuck but his duty to his family and his sister who is diabetic weighs heavy on him. As he visits his close friend in Pinecraft he meets Mary. He is an orphan and his aunt and uncle aren’t the nicest people. He wants to be able to take care of his siblings in his poor community. He is made an offer to marry one of the wealthy Amish daughters in his community. Jayson doesn’t love her. He decides to take a vacation and visit with his good friend. He meets Mary and the chemistry is there between the two of them. 

Overall, another great read, and I look forward to the next book in this series.
