Irene Hannon has written many books, including action and romance stories.  One Perfect Spring is her latest in the romance genre.  It flows easily and had interesting characters.  Let it be clear that this is a romance.  Yes, the characters have lives with stories to tell, but the main purpose here is to enjoy a happily-ever-after type romance. Although the protagonists face some tough situations, this is a happy book about love and triumphing over tragedy.

Those readers seeking an opportunity for greater introspection will also find this a worthwhile experience.  There are many opportunities to contemplate relationships with others and the effects of making uniformed judgments about people.  Book groups or clubs will certainly find a lot to discuss on that subject.

This is the sort of story one could read while sitting on a lounge chair at the beach or rocking on a porch swing.  Those looking for a quick read and a satisfactory ending will not be disappointed.  Grab some lemonade, a straw hat, a spot in the shade and Irene Hannon’s One Perfect Spring.
