Love by the Numbers
by Laura V. Hilton
Review & GIVEAWAY!



Description

After a buggy accident claims the life of her fiancĂ©, Lydia Hershberger makes a fresh start in Jamesport, Missouri, managing a gift store. It isn’t long before she meets the young man hired to handle the bookkeeping—Caleb Bontrager, whose handcrafted cuckoo clocks are sold in the store.             

And it isn't long before Caleb has made up his mind about her: bright and sparkly but not right for him. Alarmed by his attraction to her, he determines to settle down with someone more practical. Less sparkle. More logic. But he can’t seem to shake his feelings for Lydia.      
     
When false allegations by the bishop back home catch up with Lydia and threaten to ruin her reputation, can she clear her name and find lasting happiness? Or will her sunny disposition fade away into heartbreak?

My Perspective ~

Laura V. Hilton has been a long time favorite author of mine. In each of her series there is a wonderful connection from one novel to the next, with each novel containing its own merits. Love by the Numbers follows in this wonderful tradition. Old friends and family members are revisited while new characters are developed in their own rights.

It amazes me how this author can whisk me into a novel and have me captivated with little effort. Descriptive, enthralling and with continuity, the plot keeps whirling along seamlessly. Family and love are the epitome of the plot. Relationships spark and sizzle, but always tasteful and pure. Once again, love is in the air with a unique and exciting flair!

Join me in the pleasure and excitement that Laura creates in her books. You'll become a fan quickly if you aren't already!
