Dillon Cutler has returned to Clover Cove just in time to help with the busy Christmas season at his family’s nursery. All his siblings have found love, but he has no plans to hustle to the altar...until Brynn Jansen shows up at the nursery one night searching for a fresh-cut tree and a sprig of mistletoe. Intrigued by her gentle laughter and dark-chocolate eyes he asks her out.
Brynn Jansen comes to Clover Cove to help Nana, who’s broken a hip. She has warm memories of visiting Clover Cove as a child and is especially fond of the Cutler family who brought her grandparents a Christmas tree during a tough financial time.
Brynn has plans to pay that kindness forward. What she doesn’t plan for is falling in love with Dillon Cutler.
The loving care Brynn shows her beloved grandparents warmed my heart, and Dillon’s cozy family ties made him a hero to admire. Mary Manners drew me into her story from the first paragraphs, and I enjoyed “watching” the relationship develop between the hero and heroine. Add into the mix an adorable but injured little girl, and I was hooked.
This is a heartwarming love story, perfect for Christmas or any time a sweet romance is desired. Evergreens and Angels earns four and a half stars.
