Book Review: Small Town Girl by Ann H. Gabhart

On a hot summer day, Kare Merritt watches the man of her dreams get married...to his sister. Although she is trying so hard to be happy for her sister, her heart is aching. What's more annoying is the best man, who seems intent on flirting with her. Can't he just let her suffer privately. Still, when Jay Tanner decides to stick around in Rosey Corner for a while, Kate can't help but warm up to his charming smile. But she may have warmed up too late.
When news strikes that Pearl Harbor has been attacked, men are signing up to serve their country. Kate must decides if she is willing to risk her heart before Jay has to risk his life.

This book is a follow up book to the novel Angel Sister and though it stands alone pretty well, I think I would have enjoyed it better if I had read the other novel first. It really is mostly just a love story, and I generally prefer another story line with romance in it rather than the romance being the main story line itself. Still it was not a bad read, though it wasn't really a page turner.
