Alexis Montgomery is a sophisticated city girl who comes from a long line of Montgomery doctors. She is carrying around a lot of expectations on her shoulders. Her father is overbearing, her mother goes along and her ex-boyfriend just won’t leave. Then she meets Mega hot carpenter and bed and breakfast and yes, because he doesn’t have enough to do mayor as well. She’s 37 he is 28 and both are hot-to-trot.
But can they be part of each other’s world. Yes, we have seen these tropes before. Older woman younger man, opposites attract. etc. and yet this one had a little magic to it. I enjoyed each character and their witty banter. They had major chemistry and things going on in their own lives. Yet, they were perfect for each other.
I loved hearing/reading their individual voices in their own chapters. This worked nicely in the audiobook and really added to my enjoyment of the book. This was a great audiobook, and I thought the narrators did a great job.
I also loved the dose of overbearing and stuck-in-his-ways father. He was almost a caricature of ridiculousness. These characters are dealing with real issues and their own personal goals. There are also strong supporting characters, a loveable pooch, and some drama through in. I love how she captured the small-town-everyone-know-everybody vibe.
At times, I wanted to yell at Alexis “it’s your life to live – live it lady”
Plus, she throws in some medical emergencies and a character dealing with domestic violence as well.
In case you haven’t figured it out…I Loved this book!!! I think you will as well!
This is my first book by Abby Jimenez, and I am kicking myself that I have not read her books sooner! I will be reading her books from now on!!!
