5 Stars! Small-town romance perfection! Can't believe this is Daphne's debut novel!
Cecelia - after finding herself jobless and single, she heads back to her hometown to re-evaluate her life. However her free-spirited mum was not going to let her spend her days moping, oh no, she instead found her a marketing job for best friend's son Liam. She soon finds out that Liam was not the scrawny boy she remembers from high school. He's now a big bearded hunk of a man. He's also in desperate need of her help to save his flailing business. When innocent touches start to become more, can she open her heart again? And what happens when she has to go back to New York?
Liam - his world is his brewery. Everything else has always come second, hence why he's single once again. He's also used to doing it all by himself, so is reluctant to accept the help of the stunning family friend, especially when he's instantly not thinking appropriate co-worker thoughts about her. However she blows him away with her ideas, so he simply can't say no. As time goes on, can he finally start to let people in? And if he does, can stop himself from falling before she leaves him heartbroken?
I love absolutely everything about this book! The setting (I want to live in Havenport!), the side characters, the chemistry between Cecelia and Liam which just burned through the pages, the friendships, the brotherly banter (those Quinn brothers are yummy!)...everything!
If you too love small town romances, with all the feelings....and all the steam...then you NEED to read this book! Can't wait for Declan's story next!
**Honest ARC review**
No cheating. No cliff-hanger. HEA guaranteed.
