"Hartwell Hope Chest is back!"

Rebecca Hartwell has secretly had a crush on the town's hunkiest most bachelor, Dr.Thomas Emerson. It seems to Rebecca that her feelings for the doctor are hopeless, until the latest Hartwell bouquet lands right on her head! Moments later Rebecca receives a antique heirloom hope chest from her Grammy Rose, which is full of some very special surprises that will lead Rebecca to the man she is destined to marry!

Once burned by a Hartwell, Thomas is not looking for love. However, for some strange reason he can't seem to get sweet and innocent Rebecca Hartwell off his mind. Thomas feels helpless to do anything about it because every time he tries and get to Rebecca she turns beet red and runs off. After a scheme is hatched by Rebecca's cousins to get the two together, the sparks really start to fly! Can this duo find their own happily ever after?

HAVE BOUQUET, NEED BOYFRIEND is the fourth installment of the Hartwell Hope Chest series by Ms.Herron. I read this whole story in one sitting and could not put it down. Readers will be riveted from the first page. Rebecca is the friend you could have for life, unselfish and very sweet. Thomas is also very sweet and handsome and I was cheering for them both throughout the book.

It was a real treat to catch up with all the other Hartwell ladies. I can't wait for the next installment Suzanne's story HAVE COWBOY, NEED CUPID. What other secrets will the Hartwell Hope Chest reveal?
