A Wish in Iris Falls is the second book in the Wishing Tree series but was fine reading as a stand-alone. I loved the small-town charm and the heartwarming people of Irish Falls. Anything can happen in the small town with a wishing tree and a matchmaker, even a second chance at love for two heartbroken people. Tara Lynch had lost her husband when he was killed while on deployment with the Army. With nowhere else to go, she returns home to the small town she and her childhood sweetheart grew up in. She has finally decided it was time for her to do something different this year, but she’s not sure what that will be. She has become the co-owner of the family bakery and taken on the responsibility of organizing a fundraiser to help train service dogs for veterans. Adopting a dog and meeting Walker, who was going through the same loss was a comfort for her. Walker Cavanagh was only in town helping his cousin with his veterinarian practice while his cousin recuperated. After losing his fiancé, he doesn’t feel as though he deserves to be happy. He has no plans on staying in Wishing Tree or becoming part of the community, but he can’t help but feel drawn to Tara and her need for help. Can two people who have lost their soulmates find happiness again?

This was such a heartwarming book, and I was so happy to see Tara and Walker find love again. They were perfect for each other but had to overcome their fear of losing another loved one and risking their hearts again. I look forward to reading future books in this series and getting to see the small town again.
