Bending Toward the Sun by Mona Hodgson

3.0

This was another short and sweet novella in The Quilted Heart series by Mona Hodgson. Similar to my review of the first in the series, this is a simple love story telling the story of Emilie, the shopkeeper's daughter, and Quaid, the son of Irish "teamsters". Emilie finds that her father, who she always thought to be accepting of all people, is less than thrilled to see his daughter showing interest in Quaid (and vice versa!). He asks Quaid not to "encourage her" and the story follows their response as a couple to this. Similar to the first, it is a simple story, without edge of your seat action, but an excellent, quick, uplifting read. I recommend it to those who enjoy a nice, clean romance. As with the first novel, I felt it could stand alone as it's own story. It follows characters introduced in the first book, but one does not have to read the first book to enjoy the second.

I recieved a copy of this book from the publisher for review.
