Matters to You by M.E. Carter

5.0

I LOVED THIS BOOK! This was like the OG Hart series for me. It grabbed me the way the early Hart books did and I felt so invested in the characters and the storyline.

Kiersten is a single mom who's been dealt a rough hand, but pulled herself up and lives for her sweet little boy who is the joy of her life. Taking care of him and supporting them both is her goal and there's no time for romance!

Paul is all business, determined to succeed. He's focused, hardworking, driven and - you guessed it - no time for romance!

Their paths cross when she comes to work at his bar. Sparks fly immediately. She doesn't want to get involved. He can't date an employee. Lots of obstacles in their way. Can they overcome their own hang ups and make it work? (You need to read it to find that out, I'm not telling!)

Loved the appearance of other characters from the series (including Jason Hart!) and the new side characters as well, especially Tammy who cracked me up.

This book is everything I want in an M.E. Carter book!
