I liked the plot line of this book more than I did the others in this trilogy; it appealed to me more. I really really liked Dannon and how, when he is faced with having feelings for a woman who is unavailable, he confesses them to God and asks for help in overcoming them. His cousin's little girl, who he adopts when she becomes orpahned, is really sweet.
What I didn't like was how the author kept jumping around to other characters in the town. It was a bit confusing to me and I felt that they detracted from the main story a bit. While mentioning what went on in Scottie's hosehold was understandable, I really did not need to or want to know about what was going on in everyone else's households and how they all felt over someone's broken arm.
I also felt that the ending was way too rushed and I did not care for the epiolouge at all. I didn't feel that it was really necessary to the story; it just seemed to add characters who either had nothing to do with the story or very little to do with it.

Part of the "Tucker Mills" trilogy, Lori Wick's Leave A Candle Burning finds that when young and handsome Dannan MacKay arrives in Tucker Mills to take over the medical practice of his uncle, he feels welcomed by the town, the church family, and his patients. Dannan feels that he has it all -- until he finds himself dreaming of love, offering his home to a young orphaned cousin, and finds himself drawn to the one woman in Tucker Mills that he cannot love -- but does. Leave A Candle Burning is a superbly crafted romance novel that is engagingly entertaining from first page to last, and documents yet again that veteran author Lori Wick is a truly gifted storyteller. Also very highly recommended are the first two titles of the "Tucker Mills" trilogy: Moonlight On The Millpond and Just Above A Whisper.
