My 3 Minute Review

Susan G. Mathis has written a lovely, compelling historical fiction novel set in the beautiful Thousand Islands region. From the opening pages, Rachel is a relatable heroine. She’s brave, witty and determined. Susan’s lyrical prose matches the early 1900’s timeline and her descriptions of the setting make me wish I had a trip to upstate New York in my future. The chemistry between Rachel and Mitch is almost palpable, and kept me engaged as I rooted for their happily ever after. This is the fourth book in the series, and I do wish I’d read the other books preceding this one. Susan’s affection for Thousand Islands and her knowledge of the Gilded Age is evident throughout Rachel’s Reunion. If you’re a fan of wholesome romance with an inspirational thread, then you’ll enjoy this new historical fiction novel from an award-winning author.
