My review:

Where Two Hearts Meet is my first introduction to Carrie Turansky.  I have had this book on my kindle forever and decided to finally read it.

I really enjoyed Tea for Two, and even though it is a novella, it read more like a complete novel. It is a second chance romance and super sweet. I liked Allison and Tyler but didn't care much for Allison's older sister, Tessa.

★★★★/5

I did not care much for Tessa's story, Wherever Love Takes Us. I did not want to read about her marriage struggles, nor the other content that I won't mention because it would be spoilery. I did finish the story, so it wasn't awful.

★★/5

New Jersey

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

Two Sisters, Two Heartwarming Romance novellas

There’s no better place for romance, forgiveness, and second chances than the Sweet Something Teashop.

Tea For Two

Allison Bennett, co-owner of a financially strapped teashop in Princeton, New Jersey, receives a large anonymous check that saves her business. But she has no idea who sent it. Could it be from Peter Hillinger, the wealthy businessman who owns the shop next door and wants to win Allison’s heart? Or is it from Tyler Lawrence, Allison’s old boyfriend, who returns to town claiming a renewed faith and a changed life. Allison doesn’t know whom to trust. Should she follow her head or heart, or is there Someone else who can guide her toward the best path for her future?

Wherever Love Takes Us

After twenty-five years of marriage, Matt and Tessa Malone are struggling to recover financially and rebuild trust following a business failure. Then Matt inherits property in Oregon, and he wants to move the family there to make a fresh start. But Tessa can’t imagine giving up the cozy teashop she co-owns with her sister, or leaving her friends and family in Princeton. Whose dream will they follow, and how much will it cost their family? Can they resolve their differences and rebuild a love that seems lost?

Tea for Two was orginally published in Kiss the Bride, and Wherever Love Takes Us was originally published in Wedded Bliss. These two novellas have been expanded, updated, and put together in one book.
