His Small-Town Girl (Sutter's Hollow, #1) by Lacy Williams

4.0

His Small-Town Girl is the first book I've read by Lacy Williams and the first book in her new Sutter's Hollow series. Both Molly and Cord have something from their pasts they are running from, and are reluctantly thrown together when Molly's truck breaks down on Cord's ranch. Cord is back in Sutter's Hollow to make the repairs needed to sell his grandmother's ranch and head back to Houston and his life.

I enjoyed His Small-Town Girl. It is a sweet contemporary romance. I liked both Molly and Cord, but did wish they each had been a bit more forthcoming with issues from their pasts. Cord was almost unlikeable when he first appeared on the page he was so gruff, and I was so glad to see he had way more heart as the story progressed. Molly seemed really timid at first, but I enjoyed watching her come out of her shell and I felt like she really came into her own by the end of the book. I did feel like the story moved really slowly at times, and wished Cord especially had shared his past sooner. He had lots of thoughts about his past, yet it was a bit vague and made the story slow down as I was trying to figure out why he acted the way he did through much of the story. I did end up liking Cord and Molly as a couple, and their story overall.

His Small-Town Girl was a good start to a new series. It introduced many characters I believe will appear in other books in the series. Fans who love sweet contemporary romances should totally give this book and author a try.
