Make sure to grab this all-new steamy, small town, Valentine’s Day romance TODAY!

From bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes a steamy novella about first love and second chances where a city girl returns home for a Valentine’s Day tradition…and the boy who broke her heart.

Roses are red, violets are blue—someone in Rose has feelings for you…

Yeah, bad ones. Everly Davis didn’t leave her tight-knit hometown on the best terms. It’s been ten years, but you don’t forget heartbreak like that. Then again, the anonymous invite to the annual Kiss Lottery in Rose, Tennessee, gives Everly content for her podcast. And she has a bone to pick with that old heartbreak anyway.

Beckett Whitfield has never left Rose—and he’s never forgotten Everly. He even named the villain in his latest bestseller after her. Turns out she’s not happy about that. Nothing about their reunion is particularly happy, and after the way they left things, what did he expect?

When the Kiss Lottery pairs them together, Everly and Beckett will have to confront old feelings that never went away and the secrets they never shared. But finally telling each other everything might be exactly what they’ve needed all along.

I was in the mood for a Valentine's story and was looking forward to this one. I enjoyed it, but it also took a minute to really capture my attention. I am not sure why, there was a connection between Beckett and Everly, but the connection took a while to start working for me.

I liked the setting of the story, and the characters, and as the story got moving, I found myself becoming more and more engaged with them as a couple. It's a shorter story (I think it's called a long novella) so there is less time to develop their relationship, and I think I wanted this one to be longer, but at the end, it worked for me.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.
