About this ebook

In the small town of Maplewood Grove, Lila runs Barton and Sinclair’s, a bookstore she started with her late husband, Ben. Still grieving two years after his death, she's comforted by the familiar surroundings of her store.

When James, a retired history teacher, moves to Maplewood Grove looking for a quiet place to settle, he's drawn to the bookstore and its owner. As they both prepare for the annual Green Festival, a celebration that meant a lot to Ben, James finds himself increasingly involved in the community—and with Lila.

As the festival nears, Lila must decide if she's ready to let someone new into her life, while James looks for a new purpose. "Bookends of the Heart" explores love, loss, and the possibility of second chances in a close-knit community.

I've read several books written by Eliza Ester; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books. This is the second book in the Hearts of Maplewood Grove Series; it is a stand-alone book. The story is about Lila & James; it’s been two years since her husband’s death. She is running the bookstore they opened together. He’s new to town.

Wonderful romantic story set in a small town and like the bookstore as a backdrop for the story. Great characters to follow along as they weave their way through finding romance and love again. Good read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
