Welcome to Litsy!

What a wonderful book. The characters were so good and the story really sweet.

Maddie is a single mom coming back to her hometown to sell her mother‘s house. Beckett has been in love with her since high school, but had his own fears so was only her friend. As they live and work together with their families the two grow closer. I loved how the author included past trauma and difficult emotions in such a careful way.

When nothing else is going right in life, at least I know I'm killing my reading goal for the year. 😕

Joined the Romance Read-of-the-Month Club and the free read for January is by an author I enjoy, #MelanieHarlow

I'm getting cozy on the couch and diving in....📚

Unexpectedly absorbing. Neither society deb nor veteran/cowboy farmer are my go-to romance types but Harlow gives her couple a rich inner life, fleshed-out back stories, a believable conflict, and a raunchy-sweet sexual chemistry. I‘ll be hunting down her back list. #romantsy

I'm a bit surprised I bought this because I'm over uber-angst and "damaged" but I'm glad I took a chance. Yes, Jack is ex-military with a dead wife (over the top much?) but I was happy that readers knew most of his demons up-front (no angsty reveal) and Melanie Harlow's humor kept things from getting too intense (well, except for the ?.) A stand-a-lone in a friends series (my fav) this is a solid contemporary. Good for fans of Christina Lauren.
