Book description:
Abigail Pressman would never have guessed that
love notes penned on paper hearts by an anonymous couple could restore her
belief in love. As a business owner in a quaint town at the base of the
Rockies, she’s poured everything into dreams of expansion... and resisting the
matchmaking efforts of the Valentine Volunteers, who gather in her store to
continue Loves Park’s tradition of stamping mail with the city’s romantic
postmark.
When Abigail is unwillingly drafted into the Volunteers, she encounters the paper hearts, a distraction that couldn’t come at a worse time. A hard-to-read doctor has become Abigail’s new landlord, and he’s threatening to end her lease to expand his practice.
As she fights a growing attraction to this handsome man crushing her dreams, Abigail is inspired to string the hearts in her store, sparking a citywide infatuation with the artsy trend. But when a new batch of hearts reaches the Volunteers, it appears something tragic has happened to the couple. Will uncovering their story confirm Abigail’s doubts about love, or could it rescue her dreams . . . and her heart?

My Review:
On the surface Paper Hearts appears to be a sweet
romance, but the story is so much more. With remarkable writing skill Courtney
creates a powerful tale of a young woman who discovers her strengths as she
embraces the amazing power of forgiveness. From the main characters to the most
minor one, the town is filled with quirky, likeable, folks with well-developed personalities.
The Valentine Volunteers made me laugh and cringe as they championed Abigail's
cause. And the doctor's story tugged at my heart and reminded me that each
person has a story. This is a book I'll want to read again because I loved the
town and the people so much. Five stars.
