Publisher Description
2015 CAROLYN READERS CHOICE AWARD NOMINEE
If only life had a refresh button... Kate Mitchell never planned to be a 31 year-old widowed single mom, but when her soon-to-be-EX husband up and dies, her dreams of finishing college and starting over are thrown in the air like a game of '52 pick-up.' When she's given a leave of absence from work and told to "quit or recommit," Kate retreats to idyllic Sugar Falls, New Hampshire, to figure out whether she can discover her passion and pay the bills. Cue the fresh air, summer sunshine and one sexy local contractor.
Tall, dark, and handy... Volunteer fireman and all-around hunky guy in a toolbelt, Jim Pearson has sworn off complicated women with messy baggage. They cling to his nice-guy stability and skills with a power saw just long enough to straighten out their lives and move on... but then he meets the cute single mom staying at Grams' lake house for the summer.
While a sizzling attraction draws them together, Jim's distrust of complicated women and Kate's incredibly complicated life threaten to pull them apart. But forces beyond their control--match-making grandmothers, the lazy backdrop of summer, and their own reckoning with the past--conspire to make them risk it all... and bet on love.

A must read for those in doubt of future happiness
You made me laugh and you made me cry.
This book was written with incredible foresight for
anyone that has lost a loved one.
I even laughed and cried when she had to hoover up ashes,
not in an unkind way but it made me realise that my husband that is still in my cupboard after 4 years will not do, I need closure and your story has made me realise what I also need to do.
Thank you for this book, I have never written a review before but I would recommend this beautiful, funny and quirky story of love
Thank you.
Enjoyable.
Easy read.
Brilliant!
I don't really write reviews. So many of the books I read are the same format, very predictable in their layout and expressions. Blah.
But I really enjoyed this book. It's funny (it made me laugh!) yet touching and beautifully written (I can't tell you how many books I've deleted due to appalling grammar!). Well worth a read. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 😁
