The Promise of Palm Grove by Shelley Shepard Gray

The Promise of Palm Grove is the first of the Brides of Pinecraft series. Pinecraft is on the west coast of Florida near Sarasota and is a choice vacation spot for Amish and Mennonites. This is a sweet story about, Leona Weaver,  a engaged girl who is having second thoughts about marrying her controlling boyfriend. She decides to take a vacation with a couple of her best friends. One of the friends is the fiance's sister and the other is her cousin. Even her fiance's sister thinks her brother is controlling. I felt her friends and family were very supportive of the decisions she made.  While in Florida she meets Zack who is everything she wants in a man.  He is kind to animals and looks after his handicapped sister.  She has a growing affection for Zack but can she make the decision to break up with Edmund?  There is a secondary story in the book which will be continued in the series. This story revolves around Beverly, the owner of the Bread and Breakfast inn that she inherited.

This is a quick read and I look forward to reading The Proposal at Siesta Key which is due to be released in May and A Wedding at Orange Blossom Inn which will be released in September.
