Synopsis
When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now.
Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.
Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.
Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.
As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.
But alas, problem seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…
They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.
My Review
❀ ππππ πππππππ ππ πππ ππππ ❀
Is a full length small town romance book by Vi Keeland. Spoken in 'dual perspectives.'
This author astounds me time and time again, everything she writes is beyond unique and this one right here was no different. As soon as I started it I was pulled in, giggling like a woman unhinged and loving this small town life I was thrown into, wrapped up in the feels like a favourite blanket in winter.
Josie Preston is getting out of the rat race of New York and her job and taking some much needed time out in a small quaint town of Laurel Lake, which held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running.
Like the series 'Cheers' where everyone knows your name, everyone also knows your business, this is where her father was born and bred, and spoke fondly of this place, she'd inherited his property fifteen years ago due to his passing and this is the first time she's been here.
Not even seconds later after arriving at her destination she reverses over her neighbours letterbox.
Ex hockey player to construction owner Fox Cassidy was a jerk from the get go, even though his first encounter with his new neighbour had ruffled his feathers he was raised right and even helped her enter the premises via a window after the key had snapped in the key hole when she tried to enter. This will definitely not be the first time Fox comes to the rescue to help Josie out.
Taking that first look at the fixer upper that is in need of a complete overhaul is definitely not something she was prepared for as the real estate agent mentioned it just needed a bit of sprucing up but surely a few Youtube videos will help?
The township on more than one occasion had a hand in throwing these two together, it was hilarious the lengths some would go. These two were perfection
