It's nice to read about 'seasoned' characters finding love the second or sometimes, first time. The characters are lovely and the story was realistic. This is a new-to-me author and I look forward to more of her books.

This is a clean noveThis is the first book I have read by this author, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am happy to add her to my list of new favorites! This is a clean novella that takes a new twist on the forced proximity trope. Usually, this trope involves sharing a room with one bed or the like but not this one. (read the last part in a sing songy voice). I will not elaborate; you’ll just have to read it to find out for yourself. I loved the characters, the setting and the side characters.

This story is a valuable lesson showing that forgiving others is a whole lot easier than forgiving yourself. It’s even harder when the blame is unjustifiable. I loved how faith is interwoven into the story and how through God Sadie & Asher realized that to live the life God had planned for them, they had let go of their shame & guilt and embrace forgiveness of themselves & others.

The mystery surrounding the 3 day marriage kept me engaged because, you know, inquiring minds want to know! I found the characters charming and relatable. The story flowed well and was well edited. I am not a fan of short stories/novellas but with the chapters being short, it did not feel like a short story. I think that made it more enjoyable. I enjoyed the small town atmosphere and that it was set in a bookstore. I also enjoyed that this was a later-in-life romance with characters in their forties. Surprisingly, neither has children which put a different spin on the story. This is a clean read with no foul language.

I loved that Maxi's occupation is in a male dominated industry and that she is killing it! I loved that Owen did not disparage or minimize her abilities. I also love that a learning disability is represented in the story, we don't see enough of that. The story is well written, flows well and was realistic. I found the characters charming & relatable.
