Nico
After growing up in foster homes, I worked hard to create a home for myself in Juniper Creek. The problem is, I have no one to share it with.
When Emilia Louann Hartigan struts into my garage, with more curves than a back country road, I know that’s all about to change.
I just have to convince her that I can give her an Instagram-worthy life.
Or that none of that really even matters. Not if we have each other.

4.5 stars – I enjoyed this opposites attract story about finding someone that you connect with unexpectedly. It is a cute read with a wonderful small town feel at its core.
There is something about this book that just speaks to me. Emmy and Nico are perfect, each missing something that they are looking for without really knowing what they are looking for. It is a short book but it feels absolutely complete and like a full size book.

Picture perfect is Emmy’s forte. She loves taking photos abstract and real. She has an Instagram account and one picture came in 1000 words. And she’s going to her best friends wedding her car breaks down and she’s left to attempt to walk back to the nearest town. I say attempt because she did not pack any sensible shoes. When the local residents pick her up and take her to Nico shop. And she still does it in pink toes, she is not ready for the head and neither is Nico. For one who can’t keep to keep his eyes off of Emmy, he has to order a part for her car. Emmy is worried about being late for the wedding or not being able to attend at all. He make sure that the part is ordered and will be there in time for her to get to the wedding. But in the meantime they go bowling after bowling things get serious. Thoughts on both ends are completely opposite of what each one thinks the other one wants. Somebody has to make the first step to find out what is really going on in each other’s head and harts. No cliffhanger just a lot of Instagram shots.

Emmy was on her way to her friends wedding when her car broke down. Niko owned the shop in the little town that she ended up going to. When Niko saw her he knew she was the one but he was scared because they came from different worlds. Could their one night turn into forever? Fast and fun.

Sweet Little Love Story
This was a sweet little love story. The story was original, flowed along smoothly and was a quick and easy read. The characterizations were many and all were well done, unique and, some, quite funny. Nice little bedtime story.

When Emmy’s car breaks down she thought it was bad. With a little time the people in the small town have her thinking she is where she is supposed to be. It also helps the mechanic light something strong in her, but when she over hears something will she let it get to her? Or listen to the truth?

I have read a few of this authors books by receiving ARCs that were provided by the author via BookSprout. My main issue with the books is that they are a little too short for me. That said, the stories are funny little romantic tidbits that have interesting characters. This is a story of Emmy, a social media influencer and photographer whose car breaks down on the way to her friend’s wedding. In the series, that is the couple from book one. She ends up in a small town and meets Nico, who is the mechanic fixing her car. There is instant chemistry with them even though they are very different in many ways. In each other, they have found their home.
This book made me smile…a lot.
When I first met Emmy is Berkleys story, I wasnt sure if I actually like her. Well shows me what I know for judging a book by its cover. She was spectacular. So laid back and carefree. Nico ended up being the perfect match.
I would highly recommend.
Happy reading!

OMG – Hilarious First Encounter! This is my first book from this author, C.L. Cruz and she had me rolling on the floor with the funny scenes. This book is about Emmy and Nico. Emmy is your rich girl going to meet up with her BFF for a wedding and while driving there her Jaguar decides to give up on her, so here she goes walking back into a town she past up. She meets Chely who gives her a ride after she had to take off her expensive heels and walk barefooted. Well Chely takes her to meet Nico the town’s only mechanic and the story takes off from there. Just imagine you have a barefooted prima donna demanding you stop what you are doing to help her out and being told to wait her turn. I love the ending as well, so much laughter amount the characters in this book. I need to read more for Ms. Cruz.

Emmy and Nico such a cool couple. Very much insta-love, from the moment they meet in his garage. Mr hot mechanic fell for the cute Instagram girl. I like the attraction portrayed, and find this series very well written. Although the story is short and sweet, it’s very self contained and complete. I would love to read a longer more padded story about Emmy and Nico as i really enjoyed their dynamic, but guess I’ll make do with reading others I n this series. Really fun BBW adventure series!

Well, only if you’re the right female. Nico doesn’t spare a thought to any woman—until Emmy. Well, he has hangups about not being good enough and all that blah, blah, blah. Emmy is miserable as she heads to the wedding and Nico is too! So what happens? You’ll have to read the story to find out.
This is a quick and short read that is perfect for an evening or lunch break read! Emmy and Nico are perfect for each other. Chely and Nacho make this story a lot of fun as well. What other stories and love interests can we find in Juniper Creek? Inquiring minds want to know!! Loved this book!

I’m impressed. I am so in love with the characters that now I want to move to Juniper Creek! Nico and Emmy are so real. Their feelings are so innocent yet so genuine considering their backgrounds. This book is so unlike others I’ve read lately. If you enjoy getting lost in the story, you just have to read this one!! Can hardly wait to read more books by this author.

I really enjoyed the story and I liked the plot although the book could have been longer. the story could be more developed. I loved Emmy from Fat Chance and Nico was sweet and hot. I loved all of the characters so much and I wanted more time with their stories. I have recently discovered CL Cruz and I am intrigued with her stories. Until next time y’all happy reading.

I really loved this book! Emmy is so bubbly and sweet, hiding a surprising depth. Nico is strong and silent, hiding a childhood of pain. These two give to each a home, someone to love them unconditionally- something neither has before. Additionally, there is a background of colorful characters that I’d love to see get their own stories! Can’t wait to see what’s next!

Short, simple, but moving
Surprisingly, this short story captivated me with its characters who are socially opposite, and are certain of one thing at the start: they do not support each other. It is also a good question of the image transmitted by bloggers or influencers and what they transmit or not from their private life.
Emmy is on her way to her best friend’s wedding when her Jagguar breaks down in the middle of nowhere. She is brought to the local garage owner, Nico. However, she is extremely arrogant and she thinks money can buy anything, but Nico is from the foster system, he has become his own boss, he has a quiet life in the middle of nowhere, and money isn’t his priority even if he feels physically very attracted to her.
However, slowly, Emmy will show another face and she will discover herself and understand what she really wants.

I liked this story a lot. The whole social influencer thing made me a bit nervous, but I’m glad I didn’t let that stop me from reading this story. I liked all of the characters. They all felt easy to relate to and likable. There was very little angst and it resolves quickly.
Emmy is a social influencer and appears to have the perfect life, on Instagram. Her car breaks down on the way to her best friend’s wedding. The service station owner uses his tow truck to get her back to town, just not the one that she needs to be in. Nico is sexy and strong, but Emmy doesn’t just like his outsides, she also enjoys what’s inside as he shows her how the other half lives. Now Emmy has to decide how she wants to live her life.
Nico is the owner of the service station in Juniper Creek. When Emmy comes into his garage, he is instantly attracted to her, until she starts trying to use her money to get her way. Nico can’t fix her car immediately so Emmy ends up hanging out with him and they get to know each other better. He decides that he needs to get Emmy to understand how he feels about her. Nico knows that nothing else matters as long as they are together.
I really got a kick out of the bowling alley as well as all of Nico’s friends. Emmy seemed to grow quite a bit during the story. Nico was awesome with how he let her know that money doesn’t buy everything. I loved their happy ever after. I definitely recommend reading this book.
