My Review of Hataras Girl by Alice Wisler

Jackie, hitting age 30, without a husband and dream career in place, feels like everyone else is moving forward in life while she is on hold. But suddenly, her lifelong dream of owning a special bed and breakfast, that holds a special place in heart heart, is within her reach. At the same time, it seems that the man of her dreams has arrived as well. As the story unfolds, we see that Mr. Wonderful, aka Davis, may not be all that he strives to appear and there are secrets that need to be uncovered. Could it be that her true love has been right under her nose all along?
I really enjoyed reading this book. I found it to be predictable, with few surprises, but the story held my interest until the last page. It was like watching a favorite movie. Even though you have seen it before, you still love the story. The characters in Alice Wisler's novel are interesting. I love how she portrays the compassion and determination of Jackie. The family and friends in the story bring the story to life in a captivating way. The setting of North Carolina is described in such a way that you feel like you are there. The ending brings closure to the story by bringing Jackie to her true love, justice being served to the culprit, and happiness and hope for the future being found by all.
I was happy to receive a copy of this book from Bethany House for review and was not obligated to publish a positive review.
