I really had a lot of fun reading this book. I had hoped to find a nice little romance when I picked up this book and I ended up getting so much more. This book was full of complex and compelling characters that I really liked a lot. This book was actually good enough that I found myself reading part of it while waiting for a show to start at Disney World and while I realize that I may not win any mother of the year awards for that move, I just had to know what happened next in the little town of Copper Ridge.
I loved the characters in this story. Sadie has a lot of spunk and she is tough. She has been through a lot in her life and has learned to cope of moving and starting over anytime things get difficult. When she decides she wants to quit running, she makes plans to move back to the last place that felt like home, Copper Ridge. She signs a 5 year lease to run a Bread and Breakfast on the same land owned by the Garrett Family.
Eli has also been through a lot during his life but has handled the stress in a very different manner than Sadie. Eli likes order and he is the one his family counts on to take care of things. He is also the same man that arrested Sadie the last time she was in town. He is not happy about the idea of Sadie running a Bread and Breakfast on the same land he calls home.
I loved the chemistry between Eli and Sadie. It was simply incredible. I liked the fact that both Eli and Sadie approached relationships in an unusual manner and both tried really hard to keep their feelings from getting involved. The pair were honest with each other throughout the story and their banter has me laughing a few times. I really liked the pair as a couple.
I would highly recommend this book to fans of contemporary romance. This was actually the first book by Maisey Yates that I have had a chance to read but I definitely plan to read more in the future. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in the wonderful new series.
I received a copy of this book from Harlequin via Net Galley for the purpose of providing an honest review.
