Take an Austenesque trip to California! Love finds the residents of Rancho Valle, a small Sonoma County town where hearts are as gold as the California hills, and people care for each other--with a little gossip from the town vines and meddling from the Firehouse Diner's Roosters to help things along. These four stories are short, heartwarming, and just right for a cozy afternoon with your favorite beverage--and one of the recipes from Rancho Valle, like Mrs.
Bates's Peach Cobbler. This Jane Austen in California collection includes:Petals: A Short Story of Pride and PrejudiceDear Cate: A Novella of PersuasionChance for Love: A Novella of Pride and PrejudiceLoving Lucky: A Novella of MatchmakingSix Recipes from Rancho Valle 370 pages of kisses-only romance suitable for ages 13 to 113!Content advisory: discussions of grief; some self-criticism/grappling with inner critc by characters Praise for the stories of Rancho Valle: "Readers who like small-town stories should really enjoy this.
There is a strong cast of a number of secondary characters and plenty of that lovely small town/old fashioned feel to this story. Add in that it's exceedingly sweet - one small, non-descriptive kiss at the very end to seal the happy ending - and I feel this is a good story for readers of all ages. This is the sort of story I would happily recommend to my mum or grandma, or even a teenage reader."~Long and Short Reviews"Such a sweet story.
You'll just fall in love with this Cate character. Really a lovely read."~Megan, reader"A contemporary romance, short, sweet and engaging. Bennet Ray is home to save her grandmothers business from the arrogant Ryan Stone who is expanding his bike-store into their little books-and toys-store. An engaging backstory and a flowery language made this a worthwhile read. Recommend"~Elin, reader
