Wishing on Willow by Katie Ganshert was a sweet book. I was given a copy to read and review. There was not a lot of drama or action but just a good love story. A very easy read and the characters were all brought to life. I look forward to reading more by Katie Ganshert. If you like a good love story, this is a must to check out.
Robin Price and her late husband always dreamed of opening up their own café. But now Robin is alone with a three year old son and a café that is struggling to stay open. Robin is spreading herself thin trying to do it all. The town wants to tear down her café and build condos. But Robin will not give up without a fight.
Ian, the man hired to build the condos won’t give up the fight either. The only thing is, they end up falling in love.
***************************
A three-year old son, a struggling café, and fading memories are all Robin Price has left of her late husband. As the proud owner of Willow Tree Café in small town Peaks, Iowa, she pours her heart into every muffin she bakes and espresso she pulls, thankful for the sense of purpose and community the work provides.
So when developer Ian McKay shows up in Peaks with plans to build condos where her café and a vital town ministry are located, she isn’t about to let go without a fight.
As stubborn as he is handsome, Ian won’t give up easily. His family’s business depends on his success in Peaks. But as Ian pushes to seal the deal, he wonders if he has met his match. Robin’s gracious spirit threatens to undo his resolve, especially when he discovers the beautiful widow harbors a grief that resonates with his own.
With polarized opinions forming all over town, business becomes unavoidably personal and Robin and Ian must decide whether to cling to the familiar or surrender their plans to the God of Second Chances.
