My Review- 4.5 stars
I liked this novella, it was simple and cute, and a really quick read. Loved seeing Emily and Nate getting married, and reading about the Widows again. Heather and Chris have a unique story, a chance meeting several months earlier, it's funny how when feelings are involved how simple things can lead to big misunderstandings, things are not always like they seem and they both realized that pretty quick. Meeting again with mixed emotions and their own versions of what happened months earlier. As events of the wedding and activities that are happening for the happy couple they are thrown together. They have good chemistry and it's nice to see that things were real, it's amazing how things get solved and situated with good communication. A major component of a relationship. Glad to see the ending happen the way it did. I gave this novella 4.5 stars because it was a quick read, so the whole story had to progress rapidly to get from the beginning to end. Therefore more detailed descriptions are glazed over, but this a very uplifting sweet romance, and lets you know that happiness and love are all around. Very cute!

About the Author
Emma Cane was
born in Erie, a small Pennsylvania town on beautiful Lake Erie, where the
sunsets are some of the best in the world. Though Emma enjoyed figure skating
and skiing (good sports in the northeast), she brought a book everywhere she
went, usually science fiction and fantasy. Yes, Emma was a Trekkie. Early in
her teen years, she decided maybe she could be a writer, and wrote passionate
stories of teenagers in space, first by hand until her fingers cramped, and
then on her dad’s manual typewriter, that she still can’t bear to give away. In
high school she discovered historical romances, starting with Kathleen
Woodiwiss’s Shanna, and Emma never looked back. The first romance
she ever tried to write was a historical Western, but now she’s changed to the
21st century, where cowboys can ride pickup trucks as well as
horses. Emma fell in love with small-town, heartwarming stories, and created
the fictional town Valentine Valley, a small ranching community in the Colorado
Rockies, where she sets her novels. A Town Called Valentine was the first in her new series. True Love at Silver Creek Ranch followed in January 2013. Her first novella, A Wedding in Valentine, came out in June 2013.
Emma always wanted a career. She determined she wouldn’t be good at the family business, funeral directing, mainly because a funeral director is a social creature, out in society, joining lots of committees and being involved in the community. She likes to pick and choose her committees (she's served in almost every capacity in her local writers' group) She especially enjoys being at home in the evenings, her face buried in a book. When she went to college, Emma figured it might be difficult to earn a living writing, so she tried many different jobs. After majoring in aerospace engineering and taking all her electives in English, she realized writing was her future. While she learned her craft and raised her children, she worked several jobs, from fitness training to programming computer-controlled machines. She joined her local chapter of Romance Writers of America, found her best friends, and with their help, sold her manuscript to Avon Books. At last, writing has become her full-time career.
Now that her three children are grown, Emma loves spending time crocheting and singing (although not necessarily at the same time), and hiking and snowshoeing alongside her husband Jim and two rambunctious dogs Uma and Apollo.
Emma also writes as USA Today Bestselling historical romance author Gayle Callen.

Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Winners!
Wow! I cannot believe the response I got to this past post, Thank You all! You totally made my day!
I am floored at the positive response to my block, and it amazes me how many people love to read! I got lots of comments on ideas for making this block into items, well, I am open to custom orders, whether it be library bags, kindle and nook sleeves, ipad sleeves, etc. If you just do not have the time, if you want to email me we can work out the details of what you want, colors, size, etc. And I can make it for you. My email is stacey@staceysplace.com
On the farm front, it's been a busy week with animals, and unfortunately we lost our little cow, he was just too sick, and all the medicine and different things we did just did not help. So he is now in farm animal heaven! And to be honest, I think I had a harder time with it than my kids, but I have also been the one feeding him.
Without further ado, the two winners are, with the help of my children, they picked two numbers, here is what the two winners had to say,
Ok ladies, email me your address and I will forward one on to Quiltmaker magazine and they will mail your copy out, and I will get the other winner's copy out in the mail. You got 48 hours (hopefully sooner) to get your information in to me, and if not then I will pick another winner.
Have a wonderful Sunday! I am off to work at our cabinet shop with my wonderful husband and our kids! Then back to farming when we get home.
Have a great Day!
