My thoughts:
Home to Chapel Springs is full of charm! Although it is the third book in the Chapel Springs series, this was my first time to visit the quaint community Ane Mulligan has brought to life. I thoroughly enjoyed the quirkiness of the Chapel Springs residents and delighted in the drama, intrigue, and romance of their stories. Brimming with humor and wit, Home to Chapel Springs entertained me from beginning to end and left me eager to read the other books in this series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. All thoughts expressed are my own.
