”Let me love you, Avery.”

Avery Adams moved to Queen’s Cove five years ago and has been working at The Arbutus since. Her dream is to own the restaurant. However, when the plan to buy it comes earlier than expected, she doesn’t have enough money to buy and the bank doesn’t want to give that much as a loan without a co-signer. In comes Emmett Rhodes - the town’s bachelor - with a plan to help both of them.

Emmett Rhodes is the bachelor of Queen’s Cove. At the moment he owns and runs a construction company with his brother. His best friend, his wife, and their daughter has just moved out of town because of the town’s problem with having blackouts. With the current mayor not wanting to fix it, Emmett decides to run for mayor. The residents agree with Emmett about the problem, but they don’t trust the town’s bachelor with their money and therefore Emmett needs a fake relationship and who better than the only woman who has ever told him NO?

It’s a cute, and nice book. It’s not as much of a rom-com as I expected it to be, which was a bit of a disappointment. However, I liked the characters, and the storyline in and of it self. However, what I missed about the book was about how much Will and Nat actually effected Emmett’s look on himself, and himself in relationships. It was kind of glossed over, but it was what they said that created the insecurity in Emmett.

Tropes:

Enemies to Lovers
Fake engagement
Small town
He falls first

“Let’s do a practise hug.”
“You can hug me in your mind.”

“Anywhere with you, Adams.”

🐢 First person dual POV
🐢 Enemies to lovers
🐢 Fake dating
🐢 Banter 🙌🏻
🐢 Well established secondary characters (for the next books!!)
🐢 MC growth; risking a relationship, past relationship trauma, parental abandonment, allowing someone to put you first 🥹
🐢 The kitchen bench 🥵
🐢 Epilogue
🐢 Hannah’s story is next 🙌🏻

Why it’s not 5⭐️:

We didn’t find out if Will’s family moved back, which was the entire point of Emmet running for mayor. There was also a missed opportunity for Avery to realise Emmet’s vows about first meeting her were true.

⚠️ Parental abandonment (past), divorce, financial hardship, life threatening illness (secondary character).

I really enjoyed this. Simply, easy-read. Nothing super complex or dark, just an easily devoured romance with some great spicy scenes. I enjoy the writing style and can’t wait for the next books, especially the grumpy sunshine and firefighter books!

such a refreshing romcom with characters that aren't cliches. especially the mc. in real life emmett would be insufferable but the book makes it work.
it's funny and spicy, like way more spice than a regular adult romcom. at least the ones I've read. you wouldn't tell from the cover.
this could be a comfort read. definitely reading the next ones as well

This was delightful to read. I enjoyed every bit of it. I'm not giving it a full 5 stars because I didn't feel the "it". I loved it, it was funny, lighthearted, entertaining, amusing, lovely... a lot of beautiful things. Obviously, it had some spicy scenes. I'm looking forward to reading The Wrong Mr. Right...
