Brittany Doyle is a real estate developer who is sent to a quiet little town in the Catskill mountains called Gallant Lake. It’s a lovely town that is starting to feel the need to update to keep up. Brittany is sent here to buy up the waterfront property for her boss. He is going to build brick condos on the crystal lake. Brittany is city girl from her perfect hair down to her Jimmy Choo stiletto heels.
Nate’s family has owned a hardware store since the township was founded. Nate promised his grandfather he would keep up the family tradition of running the store for the town. Nate is a blue Jean and plaid flannel shirt kind of guy. He likes things to stay the same and he is not a fan of change.
As Brittany Mets more of the town folks she realizes she really likes this town and she really likes the plaid shirt wearing hardware store owner. She is here to take advantage of the town’s business owners. She is supposed to get them to sell their property at rock bottom prices before the condos go up.
Can Brittany change her bosses mind? Can she save this jewel of a town? Can she and Nate make things work between them? This story was so good! I just loved this book! I recommend this book to anyone who likes opposites attract books.
I didn’t like Brittany at first. She had a superior attitude and was more concerned with making her boss happy and climbing the corporate ladder than what was best for Gallant Lake. But she comes to know the locals and discovers a passion for the historical town. Nate loves picking and his town. At first he’s suspicious of Brittany, why she’s really in Gallant Lake and he fights his attraction for her. She is so focused on her goals and he laid back only concerned with making enough to pay his bills. I loved the little dog Joey who was determined that she would rescue him. Nate’s swearing smart talking store parrot Hank was a riot. I loved how he had a little bit of everything in hardware/antique store. The townspeople who were up in everyone’s business were so funny. This was a steamy opposites attract small town romance.
This book is a keeper that I will definitely read again. It is a small town romance set at beautiful Gallant Lake with the mountains in the background. Brittany and Nate are total opposites except for both wanting to be loved. The book had me laughing and tears came out of my eyes at one point. I liked everything about the characters, the town, the cute stray dog Brittany was not going to keep, and even Hank, the parrot. I now need to read the other books in this wonderful series! I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.
In “Changing His Plans”, Nate Thomas is all about preserving history and keeping the integrity of Gallant Lake intact. After all, the hardware store he runs has been in his family for generations.
But when real estate developer, Brittany Doyle, comes to town and Nate sees her talking to other store owners, he begins to suspect she’s up to something.
Brittany doesn’t expect to fall for the charm of Gallant Lake or for Nate. Her interests lie in doing her job, getting a partnership at the firm she works for, and financially taking care of herself and her sister.
Except…more than his plans are about to change.
“Changing His Plans” is book 4 of Jo McNally’s Gallant Lake series. With each book we learn more about the town and get to revisit those who live there.
THIS BOOK!! I just wanna shout out praises for how well this story was organized, grabbing my attention IMMEDIATELY! Brittany tries everything in her power to sway townspeople to sell their businesses to satisfy her boss. Who knew she’d fall hard for the hunky nerd guy Nate from the hardware store. These two with fill your heart with such hope and love for the best possible peaceful resolve for the waterfront town AND for their future happiness ! I’d laugh & then tear up intermittently because of the wonderful story telling as I rooted for their HEA ..: bonus was the sweet Chemistry that erupted spontaneously between them with such care that their moments of heat were quite palpable
I was overjoyed to accept this early copy to read in exchange for my honest review. A true auto buy author of mine that’s not to be missed if you’ve never read her before ! Highly recommended
I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This was a charming story about a man (Nate Thomas) who HATES change in his life and in his town of Gallant Lake. Brittany Doyle, on the other hand, is sent to the small town in the Catskills to purchase up the lakeside businesses for her boss. Brittney “the Barracuda” is looking for a promotion to partner after this. She goes in and unexpectedly falls for the town, the people and especially Nate.
These two have several roadblocks in their future. Can the woman who grew up practically homeless come to love a man who was lied to by his own father?
I adored the POV format that this book was written in. Seeing their thoughts really helped me to connect with them so much better. I haven’t faced what these two have so it really helped me to fully understand where they were coming from with their actions and communication with each other.
This story is sexy but not a lot of detail was given. Saying that though, I would only recommend this to someone over the age of 18.
His Changing Plans is 4th book of the Gallant Lake Stories by Jo McNally, and it begins when an ambitious real estate developer Brittany Doyle wants to bring Nate Thomas’ quiet Catskills town into the twenty-first century, but he is dead set against her proposed plan, fearing it will destroy his mountain community’s rich heritage. The more time he spends with Brittany, the more she is winning his heart, but he cannot shake the feeling that she’s hiding something. Jo McNally creates a friendly but close-knit town, bringing characters from the previous Gallant Lake books to welcome Brittany into their group. Brittany not only find herself falling in love with Nate but with Catskills and the people. His Changing Plans is a delightful story where opposite attracts. I received this advance copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.
