A single mom takes a chance on a reformed bad boy in this small town romance, perfect for fans of Brenda Novak and Raeanne Thayne.
Caleb Stone isn’t ready to give up his Hollywood dreams. But after a disastrous run on a reality dating show paints him as an unapologetic player, Caleb needs a little time and space to regroup. Luckily, his hometown of Moose Falls, Alaska has both, plus a job helping his brothers run Yukon Cider. Even dialed down, Caleb’s flirtatious vibes are a hit at work, except for one woman who seems completely, totally, frustratingly immune to his charms–—the gorgeous new photographer for Yukon Cider’s upcoming ad campaign.
Single mom Sophia Brand isn’t made of ice—resisting Caleb’s devilishly sexy grin is hard, especially when it’s so often directed her way. It’s just that she’s been burned by handsome smiles before. Now, she’s focused on setting a good example for her daughter, and that means not getting sidetracked by Caleb’s dazzling charisma.
But as they work together on the campaign, Caleb and Sophia begin to let their guard down. Can he prove that beneath his playboy persona, Caleb is a leading man worthy of a starring role in Sophia’s heart?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Calhoun's tender second Moose Falls, Alaska, contemporary (after Falling for Alaska) turns the focus onto Caleb Stone. The Stone brothers are still in Moose Falls, where their meddling grandma Hattie is working to convince them to take over her cider business. Though eldest Xavier is ready to settle in town after getting engaged to a local woman, he wants the decision to be unanimous. Caleb, meanwhile, dreams of fame and fortune in Hollywood, though so far his career consists of only one villainous turn on a reality dating show. His priorities may change, however, when he meets Sophia Brand, a photographer and single mother hired by Hattie to take promotional photos. The pair discover an immediate connection while trapped together in Hattie's attic, where Sophia was searching for an old camera and Caleb had been sent to help her before the door unexpectedly locked behind them. Afterward, their relationship toggles between avoidance and attraction. Hattie interferes, playing matchmaker by forcing the two to work together on a new ad campaign using Caleb's infamy to bring attention to the brand. The prose is simplistic and there's some redundant exposition, but the love story is sweet and moves at a swift pace. Fans of the first book won't be disappointed.
