Publisher Description
Sometimes you gotta toss your whole life into a burning dumpster to find what’s most important...
Beatrice Archer has always done everything she’s supposed to —worked her ass off, ignored her non-existent personal life, and kept her mouth shut. Now she’s over it. The rat race, respectability…the underwire bras. She’s taking her life back. Starting with moving to Nowhere, Colorado to live life on her own terms.
Now Bea gives exactly zero forks. Beer for breakfast. Sugar for everything else. Baggy sweats and soft cotton undies FTW. Then a much younger and delightfully attractive cop is called to deal with her flagrant disregard for appropriate clothing outside the local diner (some folks just don’t appreciate bunny slippers) and Bea realizes there’s something missing from her little decathlon of decadence…and he might be the guy to help her out.
When it comes to breaking rules, Officer Austin Cooper is surprisingly eager to assist. He’s charming, a little bit cowboy, and a whole lot sexy. But Bea’s about to discover that breaking the rules has consequences. And all of the cherry pies in Colorado can’t save her from what’s coming…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Andrews (Playing It Safe) proves herself a master of romantic banter in this snappy small-town tale. When Beatrice "Bea" Archer is once again passed over for a promotion, despite over a decade of loyalty and hard work, she quits her job, throws a dart at a map, and moves where it lands—quiet Credence, Colo.—trading pencil skirts, trendy health food, and the 9 to 5, for sweatpants, copious amounts of sugar, and binging all 15 seasons of Supernatural. When she finally leaves her apartment, a concerned resident alerts local police about the disheveled stranger double-fisting ice cream cones on the sidewalk. The cop who arrives is the very attractive Austin Cooper, who finds the situation amusing more than anything else. After proclaiming herself a rule breaker, Bea demands that Austin arrest her for her petty crimes. Instead, Austin offers to help her accomplish some of the more legal items on her bucket list. While Bea's happy to have a friendly face in town, she's determined to keep things platonic, as Austin is a decade younger than she is—but their chemistry proves hard to resist. The abrupt third-act conflict seems to come out of nowhere for both characters, but there's no denying their flirtatious connection. This is a treat.
Customer Reviews
Great Book!
Thoroughly enjoyed Bea’s adventure and figuring out what’s important in life!
Please make a second book!!
I am so in love with this book, I couldn’t put it down and ultimately finished it in two and a half days. I desperately want to see how their future is going to turn out!!!!!
Great series
I just loved Bea and Austin, they were such a wonderful couple even though Bea wanted to deny any kind of relationship with Austin because of his age. Bea was told as a child how being like her mother was not good for her and would lead her down the wrong path. This caused Bea to deny her artistic side and then deny any relationship with Austin because he was quite younger than her. Unfortunately her heart couldn’t deny what her brain was telling her because Austin was everything she could have wanted for herself. I seriously loved how these two were together, Bea was so serious and stressed in her former L.A. life that when she showed up in Credence and met Austin she needed someone that showed her how to enjoy life. Even though Austin was younger than her he never acted immature or like he was younger and I think that helped Bea enjoy her life in Credence and realize that was the life that made her happy.
This was a wonderful addition to the Credence series but can I just say I am desperately waiting for Arlo and Winona’s story!
