Review: Secretly Smitten

Long before Smitten, Vermont became the Romance Capital of the World, it was the backdrop for the first love of a young couple, David and Rose.  Sadly, David never returned home from the Korean War, and his body was never found.  So, how did his dog tags come to be found in Rose's attic sixty years later?  Rose's granddaughters, Tess, Zoe, and Clare, are determined to find out.  However, the may find a good deal more than they were looking for.

Secretly Smitten (Thomas Nelson, 2013) is a fun romance novel with a really cool concept. Check this out: four well-known romance writers write a novellas that combine to form one story.  Neat idea, right?  Sure, but does it work?

It does.

Collen Coble, Kristin Billerbeck, Diann Hunt, and Denise Hunter each deliver a great story and manage to fit those stories together as smoothly as pieces in a puzzle.  The characters feel well-developed and consistent throughout the book.  There is never a jarring change of voice. Secretly Smitten is an awesome concept, brilliantly executed.  Oh, and it's a fine romance, too!
