Each book they wrote is flawless and the story sucks me in from the very beginning.
February and Brock are such opposites, but they have insane chemistry. So naturally when they finally decide to take a chance on a relationship life has other plans. I honestly wasn’t sure how this was going to play out, but I’m happy I stuck with book and loved how it all worked out in the end. I do hope we get future books with the brothers, especially Trevor.
If you like small town, opposite attracts, cinnamon roll hero’s and meddling family members this book is for you! ...more

I feel like a broken record at this point but Penelope Ward can do no wrong in my eyes. This book had me ALL in my feels. Like eyes tearing, heart in my throat, did I just read that? Let me read this part again because this can’t be happening. Ward has a very unique way of writing characters that I can’t help but fall in love with and all I want for them is to be happy. This book gave me everything I need in a romance novel and I’m so looking forward to reading Atticus and Nicole’s story next.

Abby Jimenez has done it AGAIN!!!! I have been a fan of hers since her debut novel " The Friend Zone" and she just keeps getting better and better! This book has some very heavy themes that I can sadly relate to especially making yourself small and isolating yourself when things get tough. Thankfully with therapy and meds I have made a lot of progress. Emma and Justin where do I begin?? I just ADORED them separately and as a couple as well. Maddy is the true definition of ride or die and we all need a Maddy in our life! I loved the Easter eggs that were in the story and the one reveal made me smile! I love how this book discusses the importance of setting and maintaining healthy boundaries especially with family. That is something I have struggled with as well and I was rooting for Emma when she finally had enough and put herself first. I'm doing my best not to spoil anything so I'll end my thoughts now but please read this book. Abby just keeps getting better and better and I love how lovable and relatable her characters are and how she has me rooting hard for them throughout the whole book.

As a certified city girl I LOVE small town romances even though I wouldn’t want to live in one. Everyone knowing your business would be too much for me. I enjoyed this small town grump/sunshine romance, but I wanted more from Fox. He needed to do more groveling when it came to Josie in my opinion. If you’re looking for an enjoyable book about taking chances, starting over and laying down roots look no further!

The story felt rushed and I was expecting more depth when it came to Julian and the issues he had with his mother. I also thought Christmas was going to be a major theme of the book as well. I wanted to see how Chandra adjusted in her new position with the company. It was nice seeing past characters making an appearance and I will definitely be continuing on with the series....more

Penelope Ward is the only author that can make me pull an all nighter these days and this book was SO worth the lack of sleep. I LOVED everything about the story. It made me laugh and tear up as well. One scene I had to put my kindle down to compose myself. As someone who has worked with adults that have special needs this book was extra special. Carly, Josh, Scottie, and Bubba-Hank will stay with me for a long time....more

One thing about Penelope Ward is that she ALWAYS delivers! I read this book in four hours after a book slump and now I’m in a book hangoverARC Review
One thing about Penelope Ward is that she ALWAYS delivers! I read this book in four hours after a book slump and now I’m in a book hangover. This book had all the old school angst and feels that I ABSOLUTELY love and these characters will stay with me for a long time. So sad this book is over. I definitely want to be like Roz when I get older.
