Mini Review: Something New by Joanne Bischof

The second book in the Heirloom Brides collection is set in the Blue Ridge mountains.... so you know it already had a big something in it's favor! Wren has waited four long years for her best friend Tate to come back from... well, wherever it is he went. Now he's back, and Wren finds that she can't keep her heart from beating faster around him. Something New was barely more than 100 pages, but once again the story wasn't rushed, and there was a surprising amount of backstory worked in and throughout the story. I don't think an extra 230 pages would have made this story any better! The characters were endearing, the setting perfect, and the romance sweet. Plus, I got to see a few familiar Norwegian words like Takk, which was so exciting! (It's a side effect of bingeing the Blessing books by Lauraine Snelling) I'm giving this novella 5 stars as well, keeping the average for the entire set at a 5 also! Stay tuned for Something Borrowed and Something Blue.
