⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Readers' Favorites Reviews: "A hilarious romp," "perfect for riders who enjoy romcoms and mythological mashups," and "it's a story about love, self-discover, and the chaos that ensues when gods meddle in mortal affairs."
"Liberally sprinkling puns about desserts and romance into the characters’ breezy banter, Sheffield envisions Mineral Point as a cozy midwestern oasis of charming inhabitants. Despite its lightness and humor, The Valentine Lines does touch on some real difficulties with finding a romantic partner, exacerbated by dating apps, hookup culture, and ageism." ~Booklife Review
