- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A friend sent me this book in a box of books. A different friends likes to read books "in season" (books set at Christmas around Christmastime etc.) so since it was approaching Valentine's Day when I was choosing a book from my TBR pile and saw the word Valentine, it was the one I picked up.Both main characters were interesting. Zach: a former Army captain who was part of the reduction in force cuts who discovered glasswork in a class, loved it, found a way to apprentice while he was part of the military, and now is opening his own shop. Ginger: owner of a tea shopI like tea, but there was very little about that in this book. Ginger buys tea and tea pots but she's mostly reselling what others have made. Other than some of her tea pots being from Sally, the former owner of the building, there doesn't seem to be much personal touch to Ginger's products.I was much more intrigued with learning about glasswork. Obviously what's in this book in quite simplified. You probably couldn't go start making things yourself by just reading what's in this book. I've watched a docuseries/competition show about glasswork though so gaining a bit more knowledge about how the process works is interesting to me and this book accomplished that.Unfortunately, the romance plot seems recycled. I feel like I've read it before--insert a different holiday (usually Christmas) and different character names and types of stores and ...The same friend who likes to read books in season once commented that there needed to be a subgenre of romance dedicated to law enforcement being at least one of the main characters. If that's the case, perhaps there also needs to be a subgenre with military/former military being at least one of the main characters. PTSD, survivor's guilt, and other issues soldiers' and veterans' have are subjects worthy about knowing--but I will have to leave it to others with more knowledge of the subjects to know how faithfully the portrayal is in this book.
