Review: The Ladies of Ivy Cottage by Julie Klassen


About the book:
Return to Ivy Hill as friendships deepen, romances blossom, and mysteries unfold . . .

A gentlewoman in reduced circumstances, Miss Rachel Ashford lives as a guest in Ivy Cottage. With her meager funds rapidly depleting, she is determined to earn her own livelihood . . . somehow. Her friend Jane Bell and the other village women encourage her to open a circulating library with the many books she's inherited from her father. As villagers donate additional books and Rachel begins sorting through the volumes, she discovers mysteries hidden among them. A man who once broke her heart helps her search for clues, but both find more than they bargained for.

Rachel's hostess, Mercy Grove, has given up thoughts of suitors and finds fulfillment in managing her girls school. So when several men take an interest in Ivy Cottage, she assumes pretty Miss Ashford is the cause. Exactly what--or whom--has captured each man's attention? The truth may surprise them all.

My thoughts:

The Ladies of Ivy Cottage is the second book in the Tales from Ivy Hill series and it was a little disappointing. I feel like there were so many characters and I had a difficult time keeping track of everyone. 

The story did have some interesting twists and the romances were sweet. I'm curious about how everything wraps up, so I definitely plan on reading the third book and Christmas novella soon.
