This was so cute. I fell in love with the Winston brothers from this authors Knitting series.

Duane (one of the twins) teased Jessica as kids. They grew up together and always were pranking one another.

Duane always had a thing for Jessica, and when she comes back to town he plans to make a move.

Jess has wanderlust. She wants to travel the world. Duane’s family and roots are here, but he can’t ask her to stay and give up her dreams.

These two are so sweet, and I loved getting to know them.

Simone doesn’t deserve roscoe and I stand by that.

He is so sweet and so genuine…. I don’t know she just “doesn’t believe in love” so just doesn’t do anything. And he pines after her and doesn’t have relationships because she is it???? Not fair.
Not saying it’s her fault that he didn’t date or move on.

I don’t know. She is a nice woman, but roscoe is a sweetheart that must be protected at all cost

So good! This had MZ slow burn vibes but was a lot quicker.

Single mom Madison moves next door to grumpy neighbour Garrett.

Madison has a past of bad ex’s and has a hard time trusting men. She struggles asking for help, even with her 3 jobs to stay afloat. Slowly but surely, Garrett creeps into her heart and her life as a constant. He loves Jamie and is a good role model to him. He saves them and protects them.

This was so good. The drama and mystery behind the murder… exciting to read the entire time

And we love a grumpy motorcycle playboy with a soft spot for the girl. Makes my heart swoon.

Dash and Bryce are similarly hot-headed, but in a way that compliments each other. Bryce won’t go down without a fight, and is a sure spit fire. Dash has a MC past with some demons, but he always protects his girl.

Felt a bit all over the place. But Christopher is so funny.

I laughed and smiled at his and Hayden’s relationship.

Despite the lies, they definitely were meant for each other.

I love his relationship with the brothers- he has such a quick temper and freaks out but they have a way of calming him while laughing about it.

**** re-read

Ok gave this another chance, and I guess I just wasn’t in the mood for this on the first go!!!! I really really enjoyed Fox and Hannah’s story.

Fox is a self proclaimed playboy and everyone in town knows it. He plays into their jokes and laughs with them so they don’t laugh AT him.

Hannah becomes a good friend and is firm she’s interested in something other than sex from him. He doesn’t know how to handle that.

They build a foundation on friendship and they slowly breakdown each others walls.

********


Couldn’t finish it.

Story wasn’t as interesting as Piper’s. I love Hannah but I couldn’t get past chapter 7.

I forced myself to get this far and had to give up.

I was hopefully because “it happened one summer” was decent, but I didn’t like this one unfortunately.

The knitting group is so fun and quirky.
I wish we had more relationship development but this was still enjoyable.

Alex was so weird and do we even know why he always insisted on giving Sandra’s coat away? Or taking off all her layers when they had to walk somewhere???
