Dear Readers,

Although many of us are still buried in snow, spring is just around the corner. What better way to wait out the harsh winter weather than to curl up with a romantic book?

Huckleberry Spring is just the story to warm you up on a cold day.

What if someone you love suddenly decides they don’t want to be in your life anymore? Would you be able to move on without them? Would you try to get them back?

Ben Helmuth has broken off his engagement to Emma Nelson and moved to Florida. Emma thinks that’s the end.

Feisty Anna Helmuth is not about the let her grandson get away that easily. She hatches a plan to lure Ben back to Wisconsin and into Emma’s arms.

But what will Anna’s long-suffering husband Felty think about her schemes, which include Felty making more than one trip to the hospital?

“The much-loved matchmaker Anna Helmuth is back! Beckstrand is an amazing, talented author who gives the over-used matchmaking trope a fresh twist. The characters are sweet and caring, and the storyline runs smoothly.” RT Book Reviews, 4.5 stars

I am also excited to announce the next book in the Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series, Huckleberry Harvest, coming May 2015. Huckleberry Harvest includes a Polish hound dog, a plate of fried pickles, a hay bale tossing contest, and Anna Helmuth’s recipe for potato-lentil-and-green-bean cheese soup. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it?
