Where Two Hearts Meet is the second book in the Prince Edward Island Dreams series by Liz Johnson.  As is apparent from the series title, the story takes place on Prince Edward Island in Canada.  The setting is beautiful, and the book includes the serenity and calm one associates with this location.

The story itself takes place at the same Red Door Inn used in the first book.  There are several characters from the first novel that play important roles here.  The most important being the main female character, Caden Holt.

The personality of Caden somehow didn’t feel right.  The insecurities she is given seem a little too extreme for her situation.  As a result of this, Caden feels too needy and annoying for this reader’s taste.  Some of the peripheral characters actually draw more interest.

As a whole, the plot was focused almost entirely on the romance developing between Caden and Alex. At first glance, there are a lot of gushy, mushy, or cheesy phrases used to build up the romantic tension;  it overwhelms the senses at first.  However, upon further contemplation, the descriptions are not unlike those used by newly in-love couples.  Romance abounds here and delivers a nice relaxing read.
