Customer Reviews
From Sweet to Sizzling and Funny Throughout
Christina Hovland’s It Doesn’t Have To Be This Hard is fantastic! It’s equally funny and charming. I loved every word!
When Emmaline and her daughter Fiona move back to Colorado, the accident-prone heroine meets celebrity chef and neighbor, Ethan Greene and his daughter, Annie. The two hit it off as friendly neighbors until Ethan is in need of a favor. Then the proverbial simmering pot goes full boil.
The premise is great, the plot is fun, the chemistry is off-the-charts, and the banter is witty. From sweet to sizzling and funny throughout, It Doesn’t Have to Be This Hard was a hit with me.
Fantastic
What a fantastic story. Emmaline and Ethan are both single parents of preteen daughters. The story is packed with so much fun and entertainment. Emma’s family, friends and the girls are wonderful characters. What starts out as a fake relationship quickly becomes complicated. It will be a fun ride as readers follow their antics to its conclusion.
Wonderful Series Starter
The first book in the Mile High Heat series was wonderful. Emmaline, Ethan, Fiona, and Annie were all great characters. They were flawed, funny and caring. I felt for Emma seeing how her family’s dismissal of her talent and dreams killed her confidence. I loved how Ethan and her friends pushed her to share some of her drawings and boosted her confidence. Ethan was a great father and did whatever was necessary to make sure Annie had what she needed. He also was a great friend and more to Emma.
This romance from Christina Hovland brings us some great new characters and I look forward to more books in this series. It Doesn’t Have to Be this Hard had plenty of romance, steam, and funny moments. It kept me entertained and engrossed from beginning to end.
