That is, until he meets Sarah and feels an instant attraction to her. He’s unaware that the town’s biggest secret involves him.

Review

Loving Sarah is the first book I have read written by Jo Huddleston. This story was an interesting look into the past and southern charm. The story begins with the birth of twins who are split up at birth because the babies are put up for adoption, and no family can take on the cost of two babies. So begins the story. Then the story starts with Sarah, the main character, who is engaged to William, her long-time sweetheart. In the middle of planning their wedding, Robert arrives in town to care for his father. Sarah is instantly attracted to Robert and struggles with whether to marry William or break off the engagement to pursue Robert.  

This love triangle romance had me hooked. It was kisses only and sweet.

*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, which I received from the author. A positive review was not required. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
