Fans of The Holiday will adore this book! Much Ado About You is definitely one I'll be adding to my yearly re-read list. Full of humor, romance, friendship and dreams - you'll be recommending this to anyone who will listen.

Evie Starling wants an escape from her life, after a fiasco at work and another failed attempt at dating, she wants to figure out a life plan. She offers to take over running an english bookstore for a month, not knowing how it will change not only her life, but many others.

This story was like going on a vacation with your best friends, just wanting them all to find happiness and learning how to follow your own dreams as well. A feel-good romcom that will leave you with a smile for days!

The Summer Cottage by Annie Rains (Somerset Lake #1)

 

💙💙💙💙💙

The perfect summer read! The Summer Cottage is a beautifully tangled web of secrets and regrets. My heart physically ached while this story unfolded, and yet I couldn't put it down.

Jake never wanted to return to Somerset Lake, since it only held memories of loss and heartache for him, but he'd do anything for his grandma, even if it means going against the rest of his family to honor her wishes.

Trisha is trying to start over somewhere that nobody knows what her ex-husband has done. Leaving the past behind is easier said than done. This story had my heart from the second Jake gave Petey the nickname "Copilot."

With meddling neighbors, nudist elderly mornings, greedy family and a lovable grandma - Jake & Trisha are in for an adventure that you'll want to go on again and again. I can't wait for more of the characters in this series to have their stories told!

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

This summer, they'll learn that home is where the heart is.

Somerset Lake is the perfect place for Trisha Langly and her son to start over. As the new manager for the Somerset Cottages, Trisha is instantly charmed by the property's elderly residents and her firecracker of a new boss, Vi Fletcher. But Trisha is less enchanted by Vi's protective grandson Jake. No matter how tempting she finds the handsome lawyer, Trisha knows that if Jake discovers the truth about her past, she'll lose the new life she's worked so hard to build.

Jake Fletcher left Somerset Lake after a tragic loss, but he's returning for the summer to care for his beloved grandmother, hoping Vi will sell the run-down cottages and finally slow down. There's just one problem: Trisha, Vi's new employee. She's smart, beautiful, and kind, but Jake's job is to protect his grandmother's interests, and his gut is telling him Trisha's hiding something that could jeopardize Vi's future. However, as they spend summer days renovating the property and bonding over their love for the town, Jake realizes that Trisha is a risk worth taking -- if only she can trust him with her secrets...and her heart.

Includes the bonus novella Kiss Me in Sweetwater Springs!

A Pizza My Heart by Teagan Hunter (Slice #1)

🍕🍕🍕🍕

A feel good comedy about second chances and childhood crushes. Foster starts to develop feelings for his best friends twin sister, so he does what anyone else in his position would do...he runs away.

Still reeling from the loss of her best friend, Wren is happy to see Foster come back to his hometown, but a lot has changed since he's been gone. She's still chasing her dreams and overworking herself to help the family business.

After a series of HILARIOUS blind dates, Foster is ready to throw in the towel on dating. When a co-worker suggests that Wren and Foster "pretend date" each other, so he can get unfiltered feedback, all bets are off.

Watching Foster struggle with his feelings for Wren is so tender, especially when his dog Mike steps in.  The witty banter and quirks are worth reading the book for, if only just for that factor alone!

A Pizza My Heart is a sweet, comedic romance that'll have you craving pizza and remembering your first crush. Filled with plenty of laughter and great moments, this is a book that'll let you escape from your worries.

When the opportunity to show her what's been right in front of her this whole time presents itself, I take it, holding nothing back this time.

After all, she's always had...a pizza my heart.
