MY TAKE
I love these Nestled Hollow stories. All the characters are rich and complex with varied personalities. In this case, we’ve got a couple of strong-willed and opinionated people who see the world in their own unique (and reasonable ways–meaning they both want good things for the community, but the town fathers can’t afford them all). Yet when their ways of helping the people in the community seem to be at odds, it creates a lot of conflict.
Zane kept telling himself that he’d acted like a jerk toward Alete. And he had. Every single time. He’s dang lucky she’s a forgiving person. By the same virtue, Alete was also one to jump to conclusions. It was a situation where if they could get past their biases and work together they could be a formidable team. But each of them bears scars that make that difficult.
The romance is swoonworthy and sweet. A delightful read!
I’m always on the lookout for a great clean romance book! I love that Meg Easton’s books are just that.
This one has so many fun things about it. I love Nestled Hollow and all of my “friends” that I’ve met there before. The characters are fantastic. And the romance is my favorite part.
This one features Zane and Alete. They are both great characters, they have great chemistry. But…there’s one problem. They can’t see eye to eye on anything. They’re constantly fighting.
I loved the way Alete cared about her town. She goes out of her way to do anything she can think of to help. She’s even formed a soccer league. And she forms a second in the book to help someone she’s close to.
Zane cares about Nestled Hollow in a different way. He wants to make things safer. I really liked the way he grew through the book. He learned that you really do need those around you to make life brighter.
I loved this book so much! Make sure to read it!
I was sent an e-copy of More Than Enemies on the Bridge of Main Street as a gift from the author. All opinions are my own.
This was a fun story to read. Both Zane and Alete have Nestled Hollow’s best interest at heart, they just have a different idea of how to accomplish their diverse viewpoints. Meg Easton has done an excellent job of letting you understand both sides and not really see a solution. As they are forced to interact, both Zane and Alete get to understand the other’s goals and methods. A real testament to what a true understanding of another’s heart can accomplish. I loved the book.
Prepare to smile a lot! This story was entertaining and inspirational. It brought home the old adage “there are two sides to every story.” The dialogue written by Meg Easton always draws you in, making you feel as if you, too, are part of the conversation. Her character descriptions, their flaws as well as their attributes, make you feel as if you know them personally. I am always amazed at how this author creates such fun games and activities for the characters to participate in. That takes imagination! This is a story of hope, faith, love, forgiveness and happily every after.
I received this copy free from the author and am under no obligation to leave a review. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am freely sharing my opinion.
Another great entry in the NESTLED HOLLOW series. A sweet story of enemies learning to work together to achieve their goals and HEA. Lots of emotion and drama to keep you turning the pages.
Fantastic characters with realistic backstories. Their experiences are honestly played out in their choices and actions.
The plot and pacing were great, too.
I love how realistic Meg’s books her! She is great at bringing her characters to life by giving them flaws and weaknesses. Her characters are relatable and inspirational as we see how they overcome and triumph. I loved Alete and Zane’s story. It was funny and had depth. Definitely recommend!
If you love good banter between characters, Zane and Alete won’t disappoint you! This is such a fun read! Sweet clean and sparks fly as these two get to know each other!
I really liked this book and how the enemies factor came into play. I liked watching how the characters developed and the strong sense of community that was in this book and how the community of a small town pulls together.

Loved Alete and Zane’s story!! They both had to adjust their thinking, especially Alete, before they could get to their HEA, but they did it!! Alete had let some ideas mess up her thinking for years, and thought she should have from the beginning what her parents had, and didn’t realize they had had to work at their marriage just like everyone has to, and to learn to compromise what they wanted with the other person to make their marriage work. Marriages are never going to be “perfect” because the two people in them aren’t perfect, and no matter how well you get along, it’s still going to take work. Zane had to learn that community wasn’t bad, and that you could get people to do things for their good if you made it fun and if you actually interacted with them for more than just what you wanted. Great read!!
I received complimentary copy of this book, was not required to leave a review, and the opinion expressed is my own.
Great clean, story with heart. I think the characters are very well matched and are driven for different yet good purposes. I like Alete, she’s independent and feisty. I like Zane too, he’s very career focused. Story is very entertaining, a bit emotional and their bantering is at times hilarious. They are both very good at what they do independently, a combined effort is something they have to work on, very hard, and this process is very entertaining…. I received a free copy without obligation from author and am voluntarily reviewing.
Alete wants to draw the town together and form relationships. Zane wants to keep them safe. Their chemistry and intense focus on what they think is most important kept me reading. I loved the staying awake for 24 hours scenes – funny and heart revealing. The ending with all the post its was one of the best. One of my favorite in this series.
In this story Meg has written a sweet and satisfying romance with plenty of chemistry.
I love the magnetic push-pull attraction between Zane and Alete. There are always two sides to every conflict. The question is, what do you do when both sides are right?
Zane overcompensates for something that happened during his childhood. He became the protector, and no one gets in the way of his plan to keep Nestled Hollow safe.
Alete has given up any idea of a relationship, and pours herself into the community. She’s happy being independent. She has her family, and doesn’t need a man. Or does she?
Can love and respect overcome their differences, and lead to a perfect HEA?

I was given a copy of this book by the author. These are my honest thoughts about the book.
New Chief firefighter Zane’s goal is to make the best Emergency plan for Nestled Hollow and go to work in a better position in a bigger city. But when his goal is against all the happy celebrations and events in Nestle Hollow he will have to fight Arlene, the most gibing woman he has ever met. Will they fight all the time or will they realise they are meant to each other?
Another wonderfully written clean romance by Meg Easton. Great chemistry between Alete and Zane, who are fighting over what is in the best interest for the town. Will fighting turn into love?
This is the 2nd book in the series I had read. I know it is actually #5 in the series, and I will more than likely to back to read 2 – 4. I did enjoy this book much more than the first book.
For all of the arguing and disagreeing Zane and Alete did, I could definitely pick up on their chemistry. The all nighter scenes were funny, and I actually enjoyed Alete’s competitive nature.
I have noticed a recurring theme. The H, has issues with his parental units. It was even more obvious in book 1. There is also a definite dose of realism with Ammie and Alete coming to terms with Ammie’s diagnosis. It is not a sad book, it just includes some real life issues.
Alete and Zane both had issues that they were able to overcome in order to compromise and make a relationship work.
A sweet, small town romance, with an HEA.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
I really enjoyed returning to Nestled Hollow to read about Alete and Zanes’s story. They are two stubborn people who are passionate about their beliefs. Alete for her sense of community and Zane for keeping the town safe in the event of any emergency. Unfortunately their beliefs mean they do a lot of disagreeing as they are thrown together and become more than enemies. I enjoyed learning about their backgrounds that made them who they are today. Their chemistry is undeniable and has the town and the reader wondering what will happen next. I also liked Alete’s spunky grandmother who really added to the story. It was a lot of fun to read about the antics during Alete and Zanes’s twenty-four hour stay awake even too. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.
I loved this new installment in the Nestled Hollow series. First of all the town of Nestled Hollow itself is like a character–I want to live there. It’s an inspirational story of how one little girl helped to make her town a kinder and more gentle place to live. The the two main characters in this book, Zane and Alete are such awesome people, flawed but with the best of intentions. They clash and can only see their own points of view in the beginning of the story but as they get to know and care for one another, they grow to appreciate and love one another–then work to help one another reach their goals. Highly recommend! I received an ARC and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
