Chocolate Cherry Cabin

Louis was a thorn in Hannah’s side in high school, where she’d had great plans for her life. But her plans changed, and changed again. Now she’s a divorced mother of two, working part time in day care. Her life may be poised to take another huge turn that she may or may not want.

Louis is very accomplished and he’s just taken a big job close enough to commute. But he’s moved in next door.

I love Louis. I wish every man (and woman) could be as sweet and considerate. He wants to help Hannah accomplish all that she can, and all that she might want, but in a small town, everyone knows everything, and she’s not thrilled with that.

Wonderful love story with a great message for all women, young and not so young. I recommend this book for young adult through mature readers.

Hannah and Louis met in high school. They never seemed to get along, always fighting. When Louis moves back to Sweetheart Creek, he’s determined that this feud between them will finally end.

Louis Bellmore, a polymath/Renaissance man, has returned to Texas to coach the San Antonio Dragons hockey team. He decides to return to Sweetheart Creek, his home when he was in high school. He buys a house that just happens to be next door to Hannah Murphy.

Hannah’s recently divorced from her high school sweetheart Calvin. She’s a single mom to two young boys, working in daycare and teaching music to help make ends meet. She does everything she can to ignore Louis, but he repeatedly comes to her, and her sons’, rescue.

This is an enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story. It’s very much a love-hate relationship that started in high school. It’s a delightful read, and, so far, my favorite in the series. I especially loved Louis, he reminded me of a young Bruce Willis in Moonlighting, all confident and cocky, but with a heart of gold.

I highly recommend this book. As with the others in the series, it’s a feel-good read that will leave you smiling.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book from the author. I thank her for her generosity, but it had no effect on this review. All opinions in this review reflect my true and honest reactions to reading this book.

Chocolate Cherry Cabin is a clean, heartwarming, second chance romance for Hannah and Lewis. This is such a sweet romance that I almost forgot to sleep last night. I loved all the things Louis did to try to make Hannah see she was worth having her own dreams - even when they backfired! This was not an “easy” romance for Louis. Hannah was fighting him almost the entire way. But I love this hockey team, this small town and the people who live here. I just get lost in these stories!
