The Smallest Shop on Main: a sweet, small town romance

Rate this book
Your dream man walks into town just when you need him most...only he doesn't feel the same.

Blaire has always been a dreamer.
She built her little ice cream truck with its crazy flavors, from the ground up. Who wouldn't want to eat something called Unicorn Daydream, or Bumblebuzz Swirl?

Whimsy and fun are her middle names, after all.

And she's been dreaming of the day her motorcycle riding, bad boy...but secretly good boy...mechanic drifts into town to rescue her from the life of singlehood.

So when her truck is broken into and she discovers a brand new mechanic with just the right arm tattoo...Blaire is convinced her dreams are suddenly coming true.

Too bad Maverick Smith doesn't feel the same.

When Maverick rode into Lighthouse Bay, it was for one reason and one reason only.

To get away from his overbearing mother who won't stop asking for grandbabies and shoving women in front of Mav's bike. Much to his mother's dismay, Maverick isn't interested in settling down. He wants to see life a little before following orders and he's been doing just that for the last few months...until he ran out of money for gas.

Now he's temporarily stopped in Oregon, earning a few bucks as a mechanic, until he can get himself back on the road. So when a feisty redhead, with an obsession for ice cream and a declaration that they're soulmates, comes bursting into his life...Maverick knows he has to get out of town and fast.

The Parson's noose is tightening and he's not about to let the women in his life dictate how he lives...all he has to do is convince his heart to stop breaking through his chest every time Blaire's bright hair comes into view. Which turns out to be easier said than done.

Join Blaire and Maverick in their journey to a Happy Ever After worth Swooning for!

A dream come true or not
Such a delightful read about being seen for who you really are and as you truly are. Blaire is sunshine in human form, warm, bubbly, and spreading happiness wherever she goes through the ice cream she makes. When her ice cream truck is wrecked by a vandal she is left with no job. The repairs will take months. When Maverick, a new mechanic in town, volunteers to work extra hours to get the truck operable Blaire decides to bring him dinner and ice cream every day. She refuses to be intimidated by his grumpy behavior. After all he is her dream come true. A bad boy mechanic with a good heart, tattoos, a motorcycle, and even a beard. It doesn’t take long for their relationship to flounder because of past experiences and hidden hurts. Can they help each other to heal? I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

Blaire meets Merrick when her ice cream truck is vandalized and run into a light pole. He’s new in town and works for the mechanic and volunteers to fix up her truck after hours. As a thank you, she makes him dinner and ice cream every night. Despite his best efforts he’s falling for her, she fell for him at their first meeting, and is fighting his attraction and desire to get to know her. Some misunderstanding‘s, a crush from a friend, and an overly protective friend group may destroy their burgeoning relationship unless they both decide to be vulnerable with each other. A HEA story with a twist. I received this book for free to review and these are my own thoughts.

This is my very favorite storyline and couple in this series (so far)!!!! Blaire is adorable and my heart hurt for how she felt about herself. Maverick was trying so hard to be grumpy but really has a heart of gold. I always love seeing the characters from previous books - what a strong friend group. Their story caused me to feel so many different emotions and left me smiling. I laughed out loud many times as well as teared up a few. Loved it. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

Blaire is sunshine in human form. Maverick is running away from family and women. I love Blaire's bubbly personality and how observant she is to see the needs of others. I love how grumpy Maverick is trying to resist Blaire. So much fun! I'm excited for Ivory's story next.
