Now a Harlequin Movie, Love in Harmony Valley!

SOMETIMES WISHES DO COME TRUE, SHE'D HEARD IT SAID

Will Jackson was a control freak and a killjoy. He had been since they were kids. He'd made it his mission to come between Emma Willoughby and her best friend—his little sister—all their lives. But why? Until the day of the accident, Emma had always thought of herself as adventurous, not dangerous…. And then her friend had almost died.

She desperately needed to apologize, to try to explain, if she could. Will had managed to keep the two apart while Tracy was in the hospital, but now that she was home in Harmony Valley, the winemaker wannabe had to understand that getting past this was the only way they could heal. And yet even if Tracy was able to, Emma wasn't sure she could forgive herself. And Will had made it abundantly clear: he wouldn't sleep until he'd found retribution.

Ratings and reviews

Dandelion Wishes is the book we would curled up with and keep us in place even after we finished reading it. I can't stop pondering about the characters, the lives in Harmony Valley and just about life. I don't think I can ever move on from this beautiful town. Will Jackson's world was shattered when he lost his mother at the age of fifteen and from that moment on, he was closed off from the world and he took all of the responsibility. So when Tracy got into an accident, he wanted to fix her life by bossing her around. He had the best interest at heart but he did it too forcefully, such as pushing her to take therapy she didn't like and try to change the peaceful Harmony Valley. Emma Willoughby wanted to apologize to her best friend for causing her pain and aphasia, but Tracy's brother won't let her meet Tracy at all. Will can't forgive her at all for the accident, but I truly understood how he felt. Will was quite mean in the beginning of the book especially with his plan for the winery. His friends didn't even know the reason he was so adamant about it. He designed an architectural project that changed the whole Harmony Valley. Emma's grandmother, Rose, refused stubbornly. She believed that this plan wiped out the heart of the town. The calmness, peacefulness, and beauty of the town with its rich historical and tradition values will be erased. This book has it all. The charm of a small town, the knit-tight neighborhood and their love for the community drew me in from the very first time. The residents wholeheartedly care about the others' well-being. I was in tears reading this story. It was touching to know someone still care about you and the others. Emma and Will's love story had started long time ago. The time they had in Harmony Valley after the accident just made them realized their attraction and crush, but how could they be together if Will hadn't forgiven her and she hadn't forgiven herself. I recommended anyone who loves sweet romance to read this. Rating: 4.5 stars I received a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

As tears are flowing while writing this review, Words do not seem enough to express how much I loved this read.The small town that drew the main characters in, THE storyline, THE secondary characters (loved Rose) , it all fit perfectly. A story of hope, forgiveness, emotional ties that bind it was a wonderful read

About the author

Melinda grew up on an isolated sheep ranch, where mountain lions had been seen and yet she roamed unaccompanied. Being a rather optimistic, clueless of danger, sort she took to playing "what if" games that led her to become an author. She spends days trying to figure out new ways to say "He made her heart pound." That might sound boring, but the challenge keeps her mentally ahead of her 3 kids and college sweetheart husband.
