The Beekeeper's Ball by Susan Wiggs

4.0

Oh how I wanted to love this one as much as I enjoyed The Apple Orchard, but it just fell flat. For one, I couldn't root for Cormac and Isabel like I did for Tess and Dom. Mac was incredibly crude and too straight forward. Since Isabel was coming from a past relationship with a jerk I couldn't root for her falling for someone who was crass. However, I pushed through to read more about her families history. Like the first book, Wiggs did a wonderful job telling those stories. Though, she repeated some sentences that got irritating. Like she had forgotten that she had already said that a while back. (something along the lines of, 'they didn't give us to much information because then it couldn't be tortured out of us.') All in all, if a third book in the Bella Vista Chronicles came out I would read/listen to it. It's been a few years since this one was written, so I'm not sure if Wiggs plans on continuing with these books or not.
