Publisher Description
An unexpected rescue rekindles an old romance between a single dad widower and a woman caught in a small town scandal that made her flee the one place where she belongs. Can a second chance at first love end in a happily ever after?
Luke Luview has given up on love. Finally ready to let go of his late wife’s clothes, the grieving small-town police officer and single dad thinks he’s hearing things when he opens the charity box door. Who knocks from the inside of a donation bin?
The raccoon he assumes is in there turns out to be way prettier – and very familiar. Rescuing the first girl he ever kissed means life has dealt him a wild card with Kylie Hood, his late wife’s best friend who left town suddenly fifteen years ago under a cloud of scandal.
Kylie Hood will never depend on a man again. Dumped by her boyfriend and fired by his parents from her children’s programming job at their ski resort in rural Maine, she hits rock bottom while throwing out her ex’s clothes — along with her phone and car keys.
Being rescued by Luke Luview, of all people, is a gift and a curse. The boy she once loved is now all grown up, everything her ex wasn’t – and absolutely off limits.
Accepting his offer to be his temporary nanny while she job searches in New York City, Kylie falls hard for his sweet daughter, and even harder for Luke. A clause in her employment contract means they can’t fraternize, but fate has other plans, and forbidden fruit is twice as sweet.
As the town she reluctantly left years ago accepts her more and more, and Luke makes it clear he wants ta second chance with her in their close-knit community, Kylie has to decide: an exciting new career in Manhattan on her own, or an instant family and a sense of belonging in her small hometown?
And as Luke wrestles with the pain of being left behind by his wife’s accidental death, he has to balance his responsibilities to his daughter with his own needs. Needs he’s ignored for far too long.
Needs only Kylie can meet.
But not if she leaves.
Can Luke and Kylie rekindle their first love and find a new future together in a place where love conquers all?
If you’re looking for a fun read about first kisses and second chances, featuring a hot single-dad police officer and his accidental nanny, set in a small town in New England, with a golden retriever named Jester, a heroine whose dream in life is to run a fairy camp, and a hero who wants to build a place where everyone belongs–then this is your book.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and maybe some edible glitter, and get your happy meter ready as you read the second book in the Love You, Maine, series–where love isn’t just a feeling… it’s a way of life.

So many different kinds of second chances
I think I need to just sit with this for a while longer and contemplate how very special this story was. It shows us so many different kinds of second chances in the way Luke and Kylie come together. Firstly, we have a widower starting over after the loss of his beloved wife. Then, we have the childhood sweethearts that had only just begun when they were separated all those years ago finally coming full circle. Also, we witness two people whose hearts have been battered by love taking the chance to be vulnerable again and opening up to a new relationship. There are so many reasons in here to love both Luke and Kylie. And I did, with all my heart. I don't think it's a surprise at all that a Luview child would be utterly precocious, so it made perfect sense to me that Harriet stole the show. I know I've only just finished reading this book, but already I can't wait until I can dig into the next one.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
Heart warming

Can two people who were badly hurt, rekindle a first kiss? Page turning, enteraining, hilarious story, where fairies are alive and little girls thrive! Harriet, Luke's and the rest of the Luviews and the town folks are all betting on a HEA! I volunteered to review this fabulous story.
