This month’s book review is a romantic fiction, “For the Love of Pete” (Book 4 of the Rose Cottage Sisters Series) by Sherryl Woods. Jo D’Angelo came home to the family cottage to heal from a broken heart. Although she has sworn off men, she finds another lost love from her stormy past, Pete Cartlett. Pete is back too, raising his son after his own marriage failed. That marriage split Jo and Pete. And that was the reason she left in the first place. There is a local rumor that this cottage has a history of bringing soulmates together for life. Which history will these two find repeating itself, the happy house history or will their hearts be broken once again? This book with its small town southern atmosphere is a good find for my taste in reading.
