They both know what they want, and it isn’t love or romance. It’s not even friendship. But now that they’re forced to live together in the house they’re fighting over, they find themselves fighting their own desires. After a shocking event pulls them apart, will they be able to find their way back to each other?When Mitch Howard caught a prowler, he’d expected it to be the neighborhood … neighborhood trouble-maker, not the adorable absentee heir to the inn he was determined to own. And despite his tricks to get her to sell, she was somehow chipping away at his walled-off heart.
Katy Williams didn’t want the inheritance at first, but her entrepreneurial spirit drove her across the country to claim it. What she hadn’t expected was the tall, dark and arrogant Mitch Howard squatting on the premises. He had the whole town behind him and against her. But the moment he reported her to the police the battle was on—against each other and against their hearts.
After a tragedy forces them apart, Mitch and Katy have to face their fears, doubts but most of all their true feelings for each other. Will it come too late?

This is a great beginning to the Cranberry Hill Inn series. This first book centers around Katy and Mitch. Katy has inherited the house and has decided she’s going to turn it into an inn.

Grab your copy and get ready to meet some wonderful characters that you’ll what to read more about. I’ll looking forward to reading more books in this series.
This is my first time reading something by this author and I absolutely loved it! This is a very well-written, heartwarming story about two people who didn’t have much love growing up, but they learn to respect each other and eventually learn about love together. A perfect enemies to lovers story with strong and endearing characters. I love small town romances and this one hit the spot! Katy and Mitch are wonderful, and there dialogue was so much fun to read. This is a great beginning to what looks to be a fun and cute series. I’m looking forward to reading Book 2!

Heartwarming story about two people who try to maintain a business relationship but fail. Well written and enjoyable.
Fun enemies-to-lovers rom com. 🙂
Having “met” Katy before in the prequel novella, I already knew how fierce she could be. Mitch didn’t stand a chance – and thank God for that… 😉
I want to go back to Cranberry Hill – the other two books are already on my TBR list.
Inheriting an old house, Katy has plans for what she wants to do with it. After all, business is her forté and she knows that she will make a success of it. Only, she is almost too late to put in her claim. Upon arrival at the house, she finds someone else with a vested interest in the house, and it takes all Katy’s determination to find a solution to the problem. Mitch has been dreaming of the house and had already put his plan in place. Unlike most places, the lawyers in town give them good advice rather than trying to rake up hours. Ultimately, going into partnership puts Katy and Mitch into another situation, one which is more emotional and as their feelings run away from them, both Katy and Mitch have to decide whether they can put aside their previous history and start living for the future. The story is well written, romantic and heartwarming. Although part of a series, it is a standalone and comes to a happy conclusion.
I didn’t feel much romance in this book. Mitch and Katy spent most of it being antagonists. Even when they committed to bring partners, they still circled each other like they were waiting to see who would strike first.
That didn’t feel like a buildup of sexual tension of romance to me. It was acknowledged they each were a bit broken, and I thought they might come together based on those shared experiences.
Even after, Mitch and Katy behaved like one of them had the measles and needed to avoid contact. This was one of the most reluctant couples I have ever encountered. Even working up to the reconciliation and HEA felt off to me. The epilogue came the closest to feeling like they had a romantic relationship and WANTED to be together. I thing the epilogue saved this book so I could rate it with 3 stars.
It was an ok book. The premise was good. I didn’t feel like the couple had any real connection between them until the very end. The whole cabin scenario and the situation with Summer felt off too. But, I do love an epilogue.
