Crystal Creek #19: Never Givin' Up on Love

From the back...There were some things a woman just didn't do! Amanda envisioned so many special items to buy, little touches to add, to make the Double Bar ranch house uniquely hers and Brock's. But how could she continue to make costly decorating investments when she and Brock still weren't married, and there was no sign that they were ever going to be? His dreadful aunt Millie did have a point. The man was almost forty years old. If he was as in love with her as he said, why wouldn't he marry her?In my Opinion...Brock, Amanda, and Alvin first came to us in a 'New Way to Fly.' In the earlier story we saw the love between Brock and Amanda grow. In this book we know that they still love each other, but are still not married. Amanda and Brock are still fixing up Brock's family home. And when his aunt Millie shows up she is not at all pleased to see all the changes in the house. His aunt is even more upset that some city-girl girlfriend of Brock's, is making all the changes to the house, like she owns it. Amanda does not understand why Millie takes an instant dislike to her, but Amanda must admit that Millie is right about one thing. Amanda is not the lady of the house and Brock has not made any move to change that. Brock has his own reasons for not marrying Amanda. We can only hope that he realizes how foolish he is being before it is too late. We are also introduced to a new couple in this book who find themselves in danger with only Alvin, the dog, to save them. This is a nice addition to the Crystal Creek series.
