Synopsis

Andie Carson has to do three things to inherit her grandmother’s lottery winnings—sober up, spend a month running her grandmother’s Georgia coffee shop, and enter homemade jam in the county fair. If she can’t meet those terms, the money goes to the church, and Andie gets nothing. She figures her tasks will be easy enough, and once she completes them, Andie plans to sell the shop, take the money, and run back to Boston.

After a rough breakup from his crazy ex-fiancée, Officer Gunnar Wills decides to take a hiatus from women. All he wants is to help make his small town thrive the way it did when he was a kid. But when wild and beautiful Andie shows up, Gunnar’s hesitant heart begins to flutter.

Gunnar knows that Andie plans to leave, but he’s hoping to change her mind, fearful that if her coffee shop closes, Main Street will fold to the big-box corporations and forever change the landscape of his quaint community. But convincing her to stay means getting close enough to risk his heart in the process. Even though Gunnar makes small-town life seem a little sweeter, Andie has to decide if she’s ready to turn her world upside down and give up big-city life. One thing’s for sure—it’s a very sticky situation.

Review

Southern style romance is the best and this books just strengthens that belief.

Andie is a woman that some could probably relate to in their own lives.  She is out all the time getting drunk but why?  Probably because she is lonely and has no true friends.  She doesn’t have any family either.  But this twist of fate changes all of that and she learns that family isn’t just those that you are related to by blood.  Gunnar has his own issues, from a scandal in college to being dumped nearly at the altar (the day before which is just as bad).  He does have a family but that doesn’t mean he has it all together.  So really, Andie and Gunnar are made for each other!

I enjoyed all the southern aspects of this book, the various storylines, the characters…all of it!  Several characters are put in their place in some amusing ways.  I felt like this book was well rounded with romance, some tension between characters, and even some life-altering realizations.

We give this 5 paws up and suggest you pick up this book soon!
