They’ve been in love for ten years, but it takes an interfering neighbor with a penchant for poker to unravel the mystery of their persistent platonic relationship.
Flirtation can be an art, or so they say. Well, if so, Ruth and Richard are “the old masters” of the flirting game. Despite their strictly platonic relationship, there’s “something there,” as so many of their friends and families say. Neighbors and friends for ten years, neither seems willing to change the course of their relationship.
Three doors down, at the end of the cul-de-sac, Mason Dickenson has watched his favorite neighbors with an interested eye, but he’s finally had it with the dance. So, with a pack of cards and a few tricks up his sleeve, he’s determined to get them out of the “friend rut” and into romance.
Thanks to Mason’s unique matchmaking scheme, Ruth and Richard concoct one of their own—a deeper, stronger, eternal love and relationship that nothing on earth can match.
My thoughts: Another winsome story by Chautona Havig! I enjoyed the quirky, fun characters in this story and how things come together. One of my favorite things in a story is when there are well written side characters to connect with, which I feel like Chautona does a great job of. This story had me ready to re-watch A Girl of the Limberlost, one I haven't thought about in years!
This is a sweet story that I enjoyed whole heartedly!
I received this book from Celebrate Lit. This is my honest review.
