Choices of the Heart by Sarah M. Eden

emotional lighthearted reflective medium-paced

5.0

This is book 7 of a series. I've read them all (except another novella) but I have no less love for these people and this town of Hope Springs than I did at the beginning.  There are a lot of characters so starting at the beginning is best, but there are little histories dropped here and there that I think someone wouldn't be totally lost.

This book has so much heart! Burke Jones, this small town's doctor, is well respected. He's fitting a bit more in this place in the years he's lived here but he often wonders if that's all they see sometimes.

Sophie comes to town with the elder woman she lives with (who happens to be the town founder's mother). She comes so alive in this place, she feels more comfortable there than the Baltimore home she left. She lives to be Belgium in whatever she can do for the town and becomes a fixture in their lives so easily.
Her and Burke are finding a great friendship in each other as they have some of the same feelings. They slide very naturally and seemlessly into love with one another. I loved every moment of their steps together.
