Have I said this before--these books just keep getting better and better? They do! This one was a delight; so much so that I read the last few chapters twice. Actually, I'm looking forward to rereading the whole series again, when I finally get Volume 8 from the library, and await Volume 9's publication.
This is the volume where Emma helps Hawkes fish money out of the fountain and ends up falling in; where she takes on a job as secretary and fights off a predator with a fire poker, and gets closer to her three friends in very cozy interludes. We learn some hints about Islington's past, but not much.
This series is such a great and welcome escape from my day to day wondering if I am living my best life! It always puts me in a happier mood, and my step is lighter. With Len's recent heart attack, I'm feeling confused about how much I am needed and how I am needed here at his side. When I truly want to spend more time being GRANDMA! Or ??? Doing something with some substance. Right now I am watching, coasting, and hoping to figure out a way to support Leonard's attempts to be healthier..,
This volume ends with a very thorough kissing of Emma by Pierce, which leaves a fabulous opportunity for an enticing opening of Volume 9!
