I wasn’t quite ready to leave the Elsie Silver world of romance after finishing the Chesnut Springs series… and this didn’t disappoint. An easy read of small town romance. There wasn’t too much ‘will they won’t they’ which some may find boring in this but I actually found it to be a nice change - no painful miscommunications or missteps. The characters showed healthy communication from the very start and had adorable relationships especially with daughter, Cora. 

It won’t change your life but is a nice read to make you smile.

One word: heartwarming.

i don’t really wanna talk about the couple as they were so unnecessarily complicated (and boring) so these stars are for cora holland and the side characters only

“I’m the good one. The one who flies under the radar and handles her shit by herself so that no one needs to worry.” 

 

When Rosie flees the big city, there is only one place she knows where to go, home. Rose Hill, located in the wild Canadian wilderness, where everything and everyone she loves (and loves to hate) is. Ford, recently named “World’s Hottest Billionaire,” is NOT the person everyone thinks he is, and he’s about to show them with the new studio/retreat he’s going to build for musicians here in Rose Hill. Add into the story a young girl, Cora, looking for help. 

 

“If Ford were a blanket, I’d pull him over my shoulders and walk around like I was wearing a cape.”
 
These two are so combustible you wonder that they didn’t come together as young adults. Their banter kept me howling through the story, and I was onboard the entire ride. Take it from me, if you will, that this is going to be such a fun wild series, you’ll want to jump on this train and fall in love just like I did. Fast paced, super spicy when the burn hits, and the emotional moments were precision on the pages.
