Leonthyda runs the family inn and likes to keep extra busy. Some might call her a bit of a control freak. She pour all of her into the inn and there is not much left for social life.

One year ago she had a one night stand. It was the best night, but she left before she could say goodbye. When her mother hurts her ankle, she takes over some of her responsibilities. One of them is to convince football players to judge the chilly contest at the spring festival. 

When she knocked on the door she is very surprised to see her one night stand, who pretends that he does know her. So she does the same. :)

He is not interested in being a part of any town stuff and is quite rude. But convinces his best friend, also a famous player, to do it instead of him. 

Leo gets roped into doing the pageant at the festival. The trouble is that she has horrible stage fright. Owen comes to the rescue. His best friend's wife is a former Miss USA and he asks her to coach her.

Owen is an ex-football player, currently retired and hiding from the words in Rose Bend. He had a car accident, that left his face scared and he is too afraid to face people. He is a walking contradiction. On one side he is extremely nice and helpful, on another side he is very rude. :)

Even though the sparks are flying, it takes a lot for them both to get over themselves and find their happily ever after.

My favourite part of the story is Leo. Especially her wicked tongue, I was laughing all throughout the story.

"Dang it, Jenna. I'm sorry. I've looked but I can't seem to find where I left that last fu- "

It's not just a love story, it's about overcoming fears, dealing with trauma and rough childhood.


happy reading,
anie

The Sunset Cove Swimmers by Sian O'Gorman

Cat Jones is happy with her sheltered quiet life until her mom's crazy friends challenge her to say yes to everything for a month. Her first response is definitely no, but somehow she is convinced to give it a try. The first thing she says yes to is a nightly swim in the cold sea with a group of colourful characters. Next is to host a very popular daily show along the TV royalty, offered by a hot TV executive. She not only changes her life, one yes at a time but also inspires her two best friends to go along with her. I love this book! I was sucked into the story from the very start and had to read it in one swoop.  It tells the story of how saying yes to life, can change it fundamentally. Cat goes through huge personal growth, finding new friendships, transforming old ones, and new jobs and meets all kinds of people along the way, along with a TV executive who makes her heart flutter.  The story is funny, inspirational with lots of friendships of all varieties and a little bit of

Freya just lost her business, her car broke down and is being evicted. As her life crumbles around her, she realises nothing is holding her at Blossomwood.  So she goes to the French countryside. Her estranged uncle died a year ago and his house which should have already been sold is still on the market. The real estate agent that should be the best is no help. With her parents always on the road, she takes it upon herself to clean up the place and sees to the sale.  As she explores the town, she meets all of the wonderful people living there and falls in love with the town and the town mechanic. It's a lovely story, so full of French vibes that it makes you want to move to Provence. There is romance, but the best part was the growth that Freya went through and the small-town vibes. It's a bit long in places with descriptions. However, that doesn't take away the charm of it. rating❤❤❤❤ cover❤❤❤❤ book info series The Blossomwood Bay #2 genre romance, contemporary, adult publ
