Grade: C
Reason for reading: review for LibraryThing.com
Blurb (from back cover): "Trent July has been the mayor of this historic town for the past four years, but now he's ready to let someone else take up the mantle. Barrett Payne, a former Marine, decides he wants the job. But when a surprise candidate also enters the ring, the town has strong opinions on who would be the best choice.
"And that's not the only drama, as Malachi "Mal" July continues to make reparations for the damage he's caused and the people he's betrayed, especially his lady love, Bernandine. Is she finally ready to forgive him and let the past go?
"As the residents of Henry Adams have learned, life will throw obstacles their way-but it's how they come together and rise above these challenges that keeps the bonds of their close-knit community strong."
Opinion: This started off in a good pace, but scattered. Lots of subplots going on. The last 3rd seemed rush to try to close out all the subplots and leave enough for the next book in the series.
