Love Notes
Penelope
After enduring one heartbreak too many, I’m ready to reclaim my life and make a fresh start in the charming town of Kastle Harbor.
When I land my first interior design gig, it feels like the stars are finally aligning.
But fate has a more tantalizing surprise in store for me.
Just when I think things can’t get better, I run into Noah Sullivan— my brother’s childhood best friend, now a swoon-worthy firefighter and a man who sends my thoughts spinning.
He presents me with a tantalizing proposal to join forces on his renovation project for an outdated bed and breakfast.
The chemistry between us is electric, and temptation wraps around us as passion stirs, igniting feelings I never expected.
But is it wise to mix work with desire? And can I really let Noah back into my heart after the complicated history between our families?
Noah
After my parents’ bitter divorce, I walled myself off from everything.
Returning to my hometown, I’m ready to put down roots, but the clock is ticking on my bed and breakfast project, and I’m running low on funding to finish.
When Penelope storms back into town, captivating me with her stunning ocean-blue eyes and a tempting blush that drives me wild, our agreement to collaborate on the renovation feels like a stroke of luck.
But as we spend each day together, my resolve to protect my heart begins to crumble and suddenly, I’m sharing more than I ever expected— my dreams, my fears, and a longing for her that threatens to shatter my carefully built walls.
For the first time in my life, can I truly risk my heart on someone whose future here is uncertain?
Step into the heart-pounding world of Kastle Harbor, where love and literature collide in a big way. Follow the five intertwined stories of Ink & Love, each filled with tantalizing tension, heartwarming chance encounters, steamy, heat-filled connections, and engaging storylines.
Author Tori Fields expertly weaves together the beauty of a small-town bookstore with the complexities of romance. So come back to this cozy seaside town and get lost in the magic of Ink & Love!

Penelope and Noah
LOVE NOTES is Book 4 of The Ink and Love Series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, close-proximity, curvy girl gets her firefighter small town romance. Penelope is a curvy interior designer and artist who has recently moved back to her hometown. Noah is a hunky firefighter who is also refurbishing a Bed and Breakfast. He was best friends with Penelope's older brother growing up. When Penelope runs into him at a local wine-tasting, they are drawn to one another. She actually had a crush on him when she was younger. When she agrees to help him with the Inn they grow close and things get steamy, but Noah has been hurt before. Can they make love work? This was a sweet story. The couple had great chemistry and the ending was happy after some minor angst. I loved it.

Great brother’s best friend romance
This was a great brother’s best friend romance. Penelope moved back to her hometown to start her own design business and runs into her brother’s old best friend Noah. He is a firefighter who is starting a bed and breakfast and hire’s Penelope to design it. There was good spice and some drama too.

Review of advance copy
