Publisher Description

Can you find real love when you've always got your head in the clouds?

Maybell Parish has always been a dreamer and a hopeless romantic. But living in her own world has long been preferable to dealing with the disappointments of real life. So when Maybell inherits a charming house in the Smokies from her Great-Aunt Violet, she seizes the opportunity to make a fresh start.

Yet when she arrives, it seems her troubles have only just begun. Not only is the house falling apart around her, but she isn't the only inheritor: she has to share everything with Wesley Koehler, the groundskeeper who's as grouchy as he is gorgeous--and it turns out he has a very different vision for the property's future.

Convincing the taciturn Wesley to stop avoiding her and compromise is a task more formidable than the other dying wishes Great-Aunt Violet left behind. But when Maybell uncovers something unexpectedly sweet beneath Wesley's scowls, and as the two slowly begin to let their guard down, they might learn that sometimes the smallest steps outside one's comfort zone can lead to the greatest rewards.

Epitome of Romance!

I love that this book shows love beyond looks. It shows that what you consider a flaw can be seen as beautiful to anyone. Not to mention Sarah Hogle’s writing is beautiful! This is my first book by her and 1/2 though all I could do was thank the literature gods I came across a book from someone who is phenomenal with her words. Bravo! Keep being you, I love it here

Really good but too short and fast

At that end, I really wanted more. Maybe more development with the relationship, and more obstacles for the story - either between the couple, or maybe with Maybell’s mom popping up and wreaking havoc.

Slowwwwww

Ugh! I really should have followed my first instinct after reading a sample of this book. It was too “dreamy” and way off in la la land for me. It confused me how they miraculously came up with the funding for what read like a dump and all of the “treasures” they found were monetarily worthless. There was a mention of selling a coin collection, but to turn this into a hotel would cost hundreds of thousands at least.

Both characters came across super juvenile and not like near 30 year olds. This book was just super slow, very wordy, and I couldn’t wait for it to be done. I gave it 2 stars because there were some good parts, but it only deflated my hopes when it fizzled out again. Hard pass in this one for me.
