REVIEW - The Strawberry Hearts Diner by Carolyn Brown

The Book
Release Date: 18 July 2017
Goodreads Link

Being broke, unemployed, and stranded back in the tiny town of Pick, Texas, was not part of Jancy Wilson’s plan. Yet here she is, watching her car literally go up in smoke—along with her last-ditch hope of staying with her cousin in Louisiana. When Jancy spies a Help Wanted sign hanging in the window of the quaint Strawberry Hearts Diner, the memories of the two years she spent there as a teenager—and the lure of the diner’s beloved strawberry tarts—are enough to draw her in and plant her feet…but only temporarily.
Raised by parents who refused to settle anywhere for long, Jancy has never known what it is to have roots. Now that Jancy’s swept up by the warmth and character of this quirky little community—and by the pull of an old crush—it’s beginning to feel like home. She’s making friends and even discovering the sweetness of falling in love. But when the town is threatened, Jancy knows it will take more than its legendary tarts to save it. Can she fight for this little Texas town—knowing she might not stay forever?
My Review  4 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Montlake Romance, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

I really enjoyed this book and it follows characters in Pick, Texas when a woman who lived in the town for years breaks down on her way to her cousin.

Jancy has not had an easy life, but the moment that she returns to Pick, her life takes a one-eighty.  She gets a good job, a place to live, friends and a family that take her into their lives and hearts.

The story does focuses on four women all at different stages in their lives.  Nettie the matriarch and Vicky the mum who co-own the diner along with Emily the daughter who moves back home and Jancy.

With a little mystery and a few plot twits along the way it was a satisfying story that leaves you feeling happy at the end.
