If anything ever happens to me, go to 445 Briar Lane, Wind Lake, Minnesota
Colin Luchetti's brother Bobby is missing and the only clue is a cryptic note sending Colin to Wind Lake.
What he finds when he gets there is unexpected -- a day-care center complete with kids, a runaway guinea pig and Marlie Anderson, the owner.
With all his options gone, Colin decides to wait in Wind Lake for word on Bobby. Even though he itches to get out into the "real" world, the more time he spends with Marlie, the more he admires her. But for his family's sake Colin needs to focus on solving the mystery of his brother's disappearance. Can he do it without falling for the woman his brother loves?

I SO ENJOYED THIS E-BOOK, AND ALL OF IT'S CHARACTERS, ESPECIALLY COLIN'S INTERACTIONS WITH HOUDINI THE GUINEA PIG, AND HOW JAKE WAS ALWAYS FINDING WAYS TO TORMENT COLIN WITH HOUDINI. I ESPECIALLY LOVED THE COLIN'S SHOWER SCENE. I KNOW THAT MARLIE REALLY GOT A HUGE KICK OUT THAT ONE. JAKE REALLY GOT COLIN THAT TIME. I LOVE GUINEA PIGS. I HAD THEM WHEN I WAS GROWING UP. I TOTALLY ENJOYED THEM. THIS STORY WAS SO VERY FUNNY. I LAUGHED, AND LAUGHED. I REALLY LOVED HOW IT ENDED. I REALLY LOVE HOW THIS AUTHOR TELLS A STORY. CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK IN THIS SERIES. THIS IS A MUST READ AUTHOR, FOR A FEEL GOOD STORY! I FINISHED READING THIS E-BOOK ON 3/09/2025.
Colin and Marlie's story was so sweet. Both small town kids, they want different things in life. The one thing they have in common is their love for each other. Another great story featuring a member of the amazing Luchetti family.
Marlie and Colin come from opposite worlds yet sometimes that makes the best pair. Interesting storyline finally briefly meet Bobby and catch up with the rest of the family.
Another good audiobook to help pass the time while doing households chores. This series doesn’t dig too deep, but manages to keep me entertained and engaged.
This writer has a lovely way with characters, plotlines and pacing.
However, if something isn't done soon about the horrible editing, I will no longer be able to justify paying for these Kindle editions. Messing up the hero's name, using the wrong word (track instead of truck), omitting letters (Oh o, instead of Oh no,) it's getting worse as the series progresses.
I've notified the author of the problems. It's too bad, because the stories are good and I enjoy the characters. But I really can't pay for them anymore with these types of unprofessional errors. If I hadn't already purchased number 4 ahead of time, I wouldn't. I, sadly will not be finishing the series.
