My Thoughts
Another wonderful book in the Quilts of Love series.

This book is full of fun quirky characters...a manipulative aunt and a town full of gossiping women...sounds a lot like this book could be written in this time period, doesn't it?  Only it's not.  In this story you'll step back in time to the late 1800's.  Zenus has taken quite the hit when his fabric mill becomes flooded and has to ask his aunt for a favor, a favor that has quite a few conditions.

Mary, she has her own agenda and finds herself at odds when she finds that 'aunt' Mary is not only going to help her, but Zenus as well.

A fun read made quite entertaining by the characters you can't help but love!
