This Feeling by Kelly Elliott

💭 Book 2 in the Moose Village series brings us back to charming small-town life, this time with Harper, the flower shop owner, and Declan, her ex’s brother, recently home from the military 

 

From the start, it’s obvious Harper and her ex weren’t a forever match. Declan, though? I enjoyed that secret-pining tension. No suspense subplot like in book one, but there’s still a solid dramatic moment and some standout family scenes, Declan vs. his mom, especially. 

 

The vibes are cozy, and there’s even a nod to Practical Magic that made me smile. Some of the dialogue felt overly formal, and I’d wished there was a bit more build up in Harper and Declan’s relationship. But the book is a short, quick read, and does well with the space it has in the pages. 

 

Overall this was a satisfying and enjoyable visit to a small town in Upstate New York, a place I’m looking forward to visiting again.
