Genevieve Fenwick has her life together—until her fiancé’s betrayal tears their future apart. Now, heartbroken and unsure of what’s next, she looks for comfort where it all Gooseberry Ridge, the quaint and still-welcoming hometown she left behind.
Genevieve’s heartache is soon displaced by family drama, eccentric neighbors, and a loveable search-and-rescue dog. Not to mention scandalous thoughts about deputy sheriff Wyatt Foster. But while Wyatt is ruggedly handsome, loyal, and protective (everything her fiancé wasn’t), Genevieve’s still hurting. No amount of chemistry can change that.
And yet, as her meddling, matchmaking mother and tight-knit Montana home keep pushing her and Wyatt together, Genevieve realizes there’s more than just a spark there. The charge burns brighter with every run-in, every word, every layer exposing the softness beneath his strength.
Wyatt has something Genevieve wants. Something she needs. And though her best-laid plans lie in ruins, he might be the best shot she’s ever taken.
I can't totally put my finger on what it was about this story, but I loved Genevieve and Wyatt and I didn't want to put this one down. I think most of it was how much I genuinely liked Wyatt. Sometimes, it's just fun to read a story about a character who is all in, and who makes it clear to everyone. I really enjoyed their interactions, and the way their relationship developed. And as I am writing this, I think this was what appealed to me about this one, I think I just really liked Wyatt..
The supporting characters were also great and added to the story, which isn't always the case for the first title in a new series, and this made the story able to be focused on the main characters while also setting up the town and the characters for future stories.
