I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Independent Hearts by Kiva Hart


 Zoey runs the historical society in Whispering Falls, Arkansas. She inherited the job from her father, deceased, who started the society and museum years ago. The society is quickly running out of money, but Zoey was hired as a tour guide for a documentary filmmaker named Nick and his on air talent, Damian. The studio also provided money that Zoey is using to celebrate the town’s 200th anniversary on July fourth. 

Damian lets it be known from the start that he has no interest in being there. Nick, however, finds the town fascinating and Zoey, in particular, the best thing about the town.  When Damian books a better gig in Houston that will go nationwide, he leaves and expects Nick to come with him. Nick knows that it will really boost his career, but he is starting to feel a connection with Zoey and the town. If he doesn’t go, the studio will fire him, and if the documentary on Whispering Falls is not made, then Zoey will have to close the historical society and museum.

This next book in the Holiday Hearts series by Kiva Hart was a delightful read and the two characters were engaging and fresh. This is a sweet romance that nonetheless explores the relationship between Nick and Zoey who are possibly falling in love and are afraid to commit due to Nick’s job.
