Review:

Marry Me on Main Street by LuAnn McLane is the 11th book in her wonderful Cricket Creek series.  I am a big fan of this series, as McLane always manages to give us a sweet romance in a small town atmosphere such as Cricket Creek. 

We meet our heroine, Susan Quincy, who runs Rhyme or Reason, a local gift shop with many handmade unique items.  Danny Mayfield is our hero, and over the years, he has wondered why Susan always avoids him.  Danny wants to change things, as he has always felt the attraction to Susan.  One of Susan’s biggest selling items is a beautiful rocking chair, which she learns Danny makes in his spare time.  This will be the start of a slow build romance that will start off as a friendship.  In a short time, we learn that when Susan went to the prom with Danny, she finds out their mothers arranged it.  This led Susan to think all these years that Danny was forced to go with her.  As it turns out, Danny has never forgotten that night, and together they realize they lost all those years for nothing, and the romance between this sweet couple escalates.

Danny loves making his own fine wood work, and it is Susan who will push him to do what he loves best.  But Danny feels he has to help his family fun Mayfield Marina, and does not want to rock the boat.  Another wonderful part of McLane’s series is the addition of a second romance, with a somewhat older couple.  I really did enjoy John (he runs the local sandwich shop)  and Betsy’s ( she works for Susan part time) story. 

As the story progresses, we enjoy watching Danny and Susan’s relationship heat up, as they were such a nice sweet couple.  The ending was very well done, as Danny’s surprise for Susan gives them both a wonderful happy future.   We also get to see John and Betsy relationship grow, and it was so much fun to see the other people we have gotten to know in Cricket Creek.

LuAnn McLane gives us another sweet story in Cricket Creek, which is always great to visit.  If you enjoy small town romances, you can’t go wrong reading this series, written so well by LuAnn McLane.

  6. I have to say that the title and cover are so appealing! I think this sounds like a fabulous story! I follow The Reading Cafe on Facebook and Goodreads. Please enter me in the drawing.

  7. I have to tell you. Logging in to this site is a pain. It wouldn’t recognize my wordpress, twitter or G+. Finally logged in with FB.

    I’d love to win the book as I have it on hold for the moment with my local library branch. It’s more fun to own books then have to give them back. LOL

    So please add me to the drawing list and I hope I’m lucky.

  14. Great review Barb. I’ve heard lots of good things about this book. I read the first couple of Cricket Creek books but for some reason couldn’t find or didn’t know about the continuation of the series. Please enter me in the giveaway.
