Someone to love by Donna Alward Darling Vermont #2 - Four Stars!


Ethan is a fire fighter who has to adorable boys, who are also a handful.  Ethan is a handful.  He lost the love of his life and no longer believes that there is anyone out there that can finish his family and make them all happy. He and his first wife pledged their love on The Kissing Bridge, which is supposed to ensure lifelong happiness.  They had that until she died.  He feels there is no one else.
Willow returns to Darling, Vermont a changed girl.  She has overcome her past and owning her own business has strengthened her character in a great way!  She isn’t looking for love and absolutely doesn’t believe that there will be anything between her and Ethan!  She opens her Purple Pig Café and is busy with that.  She and Ethan eventually get on the same page, although they both fight it.
The book is a great romantic tale, one of three I believe.  They can all be read as a standalone.  This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review by NetGalley.com.  I gave it four stars.

Ethan Gallagher is a firefighter in Darling, Vermont, who followed tradition and pledged his love on the Kissing Bridge to ensure lifelong happiness. A few years later, he's a widower with two rambunctious boys who no longer believes in magic. But even he has to admit that free-spirited Willow Dunaway fills him with wonder...and an attraction he cannot deny.

Willow's come back to Darling a different girl than the one who left after high school. Overcoming her past and owning her own business has made her into a strong, independent woman. Single dad Ethan appeals to her in a way she didn't expect, even though settling down is the last thing on her mind. But after fire destroys the local food bank, the town rallies, and a fling between Ethan and Willow leads to unintended consequences. Can they find a way out of their heartbreak to make a home in each other's hearts?
