About the book:
Come home to Ivy Hill, where friendship endures, romance triumphs,
and mysteries are revealed in this eagerly anticipated conclusion. . . .

Spring is in the air . . . and change is too. Mercy Grove has lost her girls' school and is resigned to life as a spinster, especially as the man she admires is out of reach. She contemplates leaving Ivy Cottage to become a governess--a decision with consequences she never imagined.

Meanwhile, her friend Jane Bell is facing a difficult decision of her own. Should she accept Gabriel Locke even if it means giving up her inn and destining another man to a childless marriage?

When a secretive new dressmaker arrives in the village, Mercy, Jane, and the other ladies of Ivy Hill attempt to befriend her, but they soon suspect she isn't who she claims to be.

Together, the women of Ivy Hill look forward to one wedding, but surprises lie in store and dearly held dreams may yet come true.

My thoughts:
The Bride of Ivy Green is the third book in the Tales from Ivy Hill series and it was written well. The characters were a little difficult for me to keep track of (something I also struggled with in book two), since there were several different main characters and romances. I enjoyed them, but never connected deeply to any storyline.

I liked how not everything went as expected and therefore was more realistic. The ending was good and makes me curious how their lives will continue to go. Looking forward to reading the Christmas novella soon. :)

All in all, The Bride of Ivy Green was a good read and I think fans of the genre will enjoy it.
