Publisher Description
An opposites attract, grumpy heroine vs. golden retriever hero, age gap romance.
She grumbles at him and feeds him fried bologna sandwiches for dinner. He does everything he can to make her smile.
Roxie Greene is a ball buster, and River Montgomery isn't used to it. When everyone warned him about signing up to be her farmhand, he assumed they were exaggerating. They weren't.
Roxie Greene does everything she can to keep River Montgomery at a distance because she knows he's working on her lavender farm as a last resort and he'll leave like everyone else. She's nearly forty and she's been hurt too many times. She's not letting her golden retriever help get close enough to disappoint her again.
River Montgomery is just trying to claw his way back from the darkness and desperation and pain and addiction that destroyed him. He might only be twenty-eight, but he's learned life is short and you have to do everything you can to make it sweet. He wants to take all the brittle pieces of Roxie Greene and glue them back together. If she'll let him.
Customer Reviews
Grumpy/Sunshine with baggage, hot sex and ultimately some growth
This is my first book by Andrea Jenelle. And even though this is book 6 based in the town, I didn't feel like I missed anything in starting with this book.
She's a grumpy divorcee (possibly on the spectrum) with a painful past and he's a former professional athlete and ray of sunshine, who has just gotten over an addiction to painkillers from his career ending injuries.
It's duel POV and the sex is open door and hot.
I thoroughly enjoyed it - the characters instant chemistry was believable as was their reluctance to do anything with that chemistry. And I appreciated that the characters each had to grow separately before really being able to connect.
I really really liked the book - very satisfying.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
