A beautiful feel-good romance. Really nice writing style and would definitely recommend this author.
For me, the book inspired with the main character’s desire to better community. It dealt with a subject matter that I had not previously thought of how difficult it is on one’s ability to overcome. The ending brought hope.
Loved it! A quick relaxing read with wonderful characters.
An enjoyable contemporary romance, set in a small seaside town, Cinnamon and Nick are caught up in a mutual attraction with the eyes of the whole community watching every move. It’s difficult enough navigating the gossip and plans being instigated by the well-meaning Friday Girls lunch club without Cinnamon knowing that her days in the small town are limited. Also, Nick is hiding behind a facade of “love ’em and leave ’em” so that no one finds out his secret. Whilst Cinnamon has the answers for the local economy due to her background, she has always aimed high and changing direction is difficult for her. Losing her heart to the local handyman definitely does not fit in with her chosen career path. I enjoyed the small town feel of this novel as well as the delightful characters, including Nick as the hero, although his shame regarding his disability was frustrating. Cinnamon, on the other hand, was so full of self-doubt and impossible aspirations, that I really felt frustrated with her at times. Nevertheless, the book ends on a positive note and comes to a happy conclusion. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.
Great job!
This is a well written book with with strong characters and an entertaining story line. It’s a small town romance between Cinnamon and Nick who have a strong connection and hot chemistry together. Each for their own reasons are holding back on moving forward. The author does a great job developing their story and bringing it around , giving them their HEA in the end. It moves at a steady pace and I enjoyed reading their story.

Great story, very interesting to read and easy to read. Really enjoyed it.
Wonderful read! I love bed and breakfast books and this one is a great one with wonderful characters who fall in love when it’s least expected with another person who is someone they least expect as a mate! Great story that kept me glued!

Really good read
Enjoyable!
Great summer beach read.
This was so good I could easily see it as a movie
Ordinary romance. Too much explicit sex.
Wonderfully written. Once I picked it up, I was hard to put down. I’d read it again!
A fun romantic story of a BnB romance. Love it that a woman saves the day or in this case the cranberry plant. Great read
Such a good read, will look for this author again!
An entertaining read.
