After an ugly divorce, Brynn Baron-Wilde swore off men and created a new life in a quaint upstate touristy town where she runs a successful bakery and tearoom. Brynn has everything mapped out and she’s got no time for distractions.
And then along came Jackson Merrill – former Army medic turned talented renovation specialist. Jax enters Brynn’s well-ordered life and proceeds to shake up her world.
He’s a bit on the dented and dinged side after his military service and she’s dealing with a stealth attack from her grandmother who’s added manipulative clauses to her will that threaten Brynn’s hold on her house and business.
Sometimes fate and destiny have a sense of humor along with some questionable timing. Are these two destined to be together or will her reluctance and his issues keep them apart? When a stunning turn of events complicates things even more, things sure do get interesting – meddling parents and all.
~~I received this book in exchange for an honest review~~
When I started reading this book, I was drawn in slowly. But that is a good thing. This is a love story, not the normal story that everyone knows, but a story that has a strong leading female character named Brynn, that doesn't want the help of a man. Nor does she want to go down the road with marriage again. She's been there, done that, and has the heartache and walls built up to prove it. It isn't until something changes in her Grandmothers will that gets her creative juices flowing. Jax is a restoration craftsman. He restores old buildings and houses to their former glory. When his dad calls and tells him that he is to go to a store as a favor to his dads old frat brother. He is reluctant to go, but does anyways. What he doesn't count on is the spitfire that owns the bakery that he goes to.
This is a nice easy read. I didn't have to go back through and re-read anything. There were times that I was crying, but those were few and far between. I laughed in this book, and I also got upset at the way that Brynn was acting. Sometimes, she was acting like she was better than everyone, then other times she really needed someone there to help her up, get her going again. That is where Jax comes in. I can't tell you where I fell in love with this book. But I can tell you that Suzanne has a new fan! I can't wait till the story continues in the second book. No this book does not have a cliffhanger so to speak, but it does leave you wanting to read more about the Wilde sisters.
Suzanne Halliday writes what she knows and what she loves – sexy adult contemporary romance with strong men and spirited women. Her love for creating short stories for friends and family has developed into a passion for writing romantic fiction with a sensual edge. She finds the world of digital, self-publishing to be the perfect platform for sharing her stories and also for what she enjoys most of all – reading. When she’s not on a deadline you’ll find her loading up on books to devour.
Currently a wanderer, she and her family divide their time between the east and west coast, somehow always managing to get the seasons mixed up. When not digging out from snow or trying to stay cool in the desert, you can find her in the kitchen, 80’s hair band music playing in the background, kids running in and out, laptop on with way too many screens open, something awesome in the oven, and a mug of hot tea clutched in one hand.
