True Hearts Desire by Caroline Fyffe


I really liked this book.  It had a lot of story line going on with the five sisters, along with a friend who may not have been a friend, we’ll see.  Lavinia is the main character in this story and Rhett Laughlin is the man who arrives to town and lets the sisters know that everything that ever happened in their lives has been published in newspapers, along with the fact that they have inherited their father’s ranch and money and that they are now very well off, as long as they stay there at least six months.  After that who knows if they will all want to stay. Lavinia had an offer to study under a hat milliner and she loves her hats. It was her hearts desire to become a milliner and open her own shop. She would have to leave though in order to do that.  Rhett has become quite the distraction. Her heart keeps confusing her.  The book was easy to read in one day, one that kept me interested, had strong characters, a moving story line, based in the west, and a romantic twist, along with a good mystery.  I found it to be really entertaining.

I received the book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review which I have here.  I always love receiving books in the mail or online and being allowed to read and review books I may not have had the opportunity to pick up otherwise. 

Description
USA Today bestselling author Caroline Fyffe invites you back to Eden, Colorado, where five sisters have inherited the town—and are winning over men’s hearts one by one.
Since their father’s death summoned Lavinia Brinkman and her four sisters to Eden, Colorado, Lavinia has been content with her new life. Well, almost. Lavinia’s heart’s desire—creating the elaborate hats she loves—doesn’t belong in this small town. How can she choose between the life she has and the life she wants? Especially when she’s so utterly vexed by the handsome scoundrel who’s just arrived in Eden.
Rhett Laughlin intends to fulfill a dream and open a profitable restaurant in the growing town. Instead, he’s marched right into trouble with one of Eden’s most eligible bachelorettes. But as much as Lavinia Brinkman is making things difficult, Rhett can’t keep himself from thinking about her.
With every spirited encounter, the animosity between Rhett and Lavinia is starting to look a lot like attraction. And the town of Eden is about to discover what happens when these rivals find what truly lies in their hearts…
