Description:
Emory Maxwell has come home to the small town of Sweetness, Georgia, with one goal in mind--to get his childhood sweetheart Shelby Moon to marry him. They've been in love with the second grade, but Shelby's father is determined to keep his daughter in Sweetness, not moving around the country as a soldier's wife. No matter what she chooses, Shelby knows she'll hurt one of the men she loves.Mini-Review:
But when a tornado rips through town, will she and Emory lose their chance to be together forever?
This little read wasn't bad but the romantic conflict arose and was resolved within the last 7-8 pages. The build up was cute but in such a short read it probably should have been shorter. There was a horrible natural disaster at the end which told me that this novella's goal is likely to invest the reader in the problems of the small town and not necessarily Emory and Shelby. For some, this novella might be enough for that but not for me. I need a hook and a natural disaster doesn't do it for me.

Description:
Daffodils in Spring almost made me change all my assumptions and skepticism about novellas. The theme of this short new read is new beginnings. New beginnings in romance and new beginnings in life. This story is a complete story in itself. It doesn't tackle too many issues and the conflict isn't superficial. It handles time well so it is easy to forget that it is quite short. The characters were believable and surprisingly well-developed. It's a little too PG for my tastes. I wanted a bit more spice but it was not to be.
