Bright Horizon by HJ Welch

5.0

While the premise of Ben, who is the only son of two older parents, inherits an estate from a great-grandmother in England he knew nothing about. When he's ambushed at his job by a lawyer who recommends he not do anything while his family in England fight the will, Elias, an older man Ben has been crushing on since he first started coming into the bakery about a year ago, steps in. Elias is a lawyer, who offers to help Ben by flying them both to England to find out if the will is valid and to meet Ben's family.

The attraction between the two men is palpable but Ben, who thinks Elias is a professional and way out of his league, and Elias, who believes Ben is too young for him, realized they have more in common. The romance seems secondary to the sense of wanting a family and acceptance. The slow build of the relationship is realistic between the two men and by the end of the book, Ben and Elias's relationship is solidly built. I enjoyed getting to know both men and moving the setting out of Pine Cove for awhile, but the characters made the book. A lovely read!!
