“Spring for Susannah” fits that bill for this reader. I think what I loved the most about the novel, were the characters. Yes…all books have to have characters, but Susannah and Jesse were so loveable and completely charmed my heart- Jesse especially. Talk about a loveable hero! Susannah had so much growth to do and started out the book as a very meek heroine, but my goodness as the story progressed you saw HER progressing. The author trusted her reader to get it and I loved seeing the little subtleties all through the story that crescendoed into a character that could stand on her own two feet.
I sat in one place until this book was finished and I never once tired of reading. I snorted and giggled over the little bits of humor that added spice. The secondary characters are the perfect mix of level-headedness and quirky. I hope if there are more books we get more of them!
A sweet faith message, a loving romance and characters I won’t soon forget, this historical romance is that perfect antidote for cold days, the kind you want to curl up with and become lost within the pages.
