Publisher Description
A workaholic is faced with striving for the one goal she never wanted: love.
Campbell Andrews despises exactly three things in life: incompetence, tardiness, and love stories. Making partner at her law firm at thirty-four, she has no time for anything or anyone else. And certainly no respect for those who choose love over work. That is, until she wakes up in Heart Springs—her own personal hell.
The good news? She’s not dead. She’s been magically transported to a small town straight out of the Hallmark channel, complete with a meddling mayor, seasonal festivals, and friendly townsfolk. Cam can’t stand it, but in order to make it back to her real life, she has to fulfill three tasks . . . foremost among them, experience true love. It seems impossible. But anything’s possible with a change of heart.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of this whimsical rom-com from Ballard (Right on Cue), workaholic heroine Campbell "Cam" Andrews comes across as irredeemable. She's late and horrifically rude to her blind date with pediatrician Ben Loving, insisting she knows they aren't compatible and she'd rather just answer work emails for an hour while they sit and eat in silence. This ruthless professionalism is how she made partner at her law firm by 34—but at what cost? The next day, Cam is shocked to magically awaken in the picturesque town of Heart Springs, a locale straight out of a Hallmark movie, right down to the friendly but meddling neighbors. The waitress from her blind date is there to inform her of the three tasks she must complete to return home: find a career she has a passion for, become a valuable member of the community, and experience true love. Thankfully, it turns out that Ben is there to help her achieve these goals. It's a clever riff on the classic small-town romance aesthetic and, though it takes a bit too long, it's gratifying to watch Cam grow into a better person. Readers willing to stick with her through her transformation will be rewarded.
