She likes managing the dining … managing the dining services at the family owned and operated Heartwood Inn…unless she’s dealing with angry customers, crushing deadlines, and not enough kitchen staff.
She definitely likes Teagan Hatch still…but the man broke up with her on her doorstep on the night she thought they’d share their first kiss. No explanation. No apology. They’ve been working together in the kitchens at The Heartwood Inn for the last six months, but things are…strained to say the least.

A lovely multiple chances romances. I liked the journey of working through your past to be your best self for your future. I think this was one of the best of the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
She Loves Him… Not is a visit with our good friends at Heartwood Inn. Teagan and Gwen are having issues and she is the only sister without a boyfriend. Just working with him was torture for Gwen. But seems like Teagan is causing everything that happens good for them to blow up in their face. Can the chaos in Teagan’s life ever even out so love can take its rightful place with Gwen? He is willing to fight his demons, but will it be enough to win Gwen? That is his plan. Another great book in the Enemies To Lovers series.
Hey look, adults that act and talk like adults.
I love that the main characters love each other but know they are not both in a place that is conducive to a healthy relationship. They talk about the hard stuff that and go do what needs doing to make their relationship work. They may have doubts and fear, but go work those things out.
Two people can love each other, try to forget each other and find that they are not whole without each other. This book is well written and covers some emotional baggage issues. Good read, really loved it and all the books in this series.
Gwen and Teagan were dating when suddenly, he broke up with her for no reason, but they had to continue working together. Her feelings in turmoil she did what she could only do, act like she couldn’t stand him. She dated some, but that wasn’t work. Teagan had enough, he had to tell her the reason and get her back. They had a little bit of an age difference and he had a daughter only ten years younger than her and that bothered him. He thought that would be a problem for her. Would this and other issues complicate their getting together?
She Loves Him…Not is an enemies to lovers romance, but the reason that they’re enemies is because of a sudden breakup; so it’s also a second chance romance. Gwen and Teagan are likable and easy to empathize with. I found the setting of the resort kitchen to be interesting. The plot has some twists to it. The HEA is sweet. I recommend this book to clean/wholesome romance readers. I intend to read more by this author as I have always enjoyed anything of hers that I’ve read. I obtained my copy through KU.
Another enemies to lovers romance! Teagan and Gwen dated before but he broke things off with no explanation. But their attraction still grows while working together each day in the restaurant kitchen of her families Heartwood Inn. They decide to try again, but Teagan has lots of baggage from his past that needs to be resolved. This is a great love story about renewal and commitment. I love that it is written about older characters. Don’t miss this clean short read from Elana Johnson!
I received a free copy of this book. I enjoy reading about the Heartwood family. Gwen & Teagan make a great team. It is great to read a clean story with Love, romance and challenges.
