This was a cute small town romance. A fun, quirky cast of characters and a decent plot line. I also enjoyed the fact that the heroine and leading man were not really young, and had realistic concerns about having a relationship.

Sold on Love is a delightful romance novel set in a small town. Harper and Rusty are to die for. Their chemistry made me swoon. This is a lovely book about self-discovery. This is an easy one sitting read that will charm your heart!

Read if you love: Christian Romance, small town romance

Thank you to Thomas Nelson--FICTION and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest reviews.

This was an adorable story! I smiled lots while reading it. Loved the characters and the times the story made me laugh out loud. Fantastic read for me and I can't wait for Olivia's story-this one set up her turn nicely.

Sold on Love is the third book in the Maple Valley series. While characters from the previous novels make an appearance, I do believe this could be read as a standalone with no problem. That said, you likely will get a better feel the friendship and town dynamics by reading in order.

This series has been such an enjoyable one for me. First of all, I love a good pun, so the titles of each of these novels with their play on words were definitely what drew me in. Thankfully, the stories inside were just as wonderful as their titles. In this one, we focus on Harper and Rusty. Harper is a real estate agent who loves fashion and Rusty an auto mechanic who is often covered in grease. I always enjoy a good opposites attract story... my husband and I are quite the opposites ourselves! (I did in fact see bits of us in these two characters!) I felt like these two were written well, and had me both frustrated at their misunderstandings but also rooting for them too... yes, they certainly drew me in and had me emotionally invested all around. There was also a bit of a side story with Harper's parents, and while initially I wasn't sure about that addition, in the end it was really enjoyable as well.

Overall, this is a great addition to the series. If you love a good, clean romance this is certainly one not to be missed.

**I received a complimentary copy for consideration. All thoughts are my own.

Sold on Love by Kathleen Fuller is a super sweet, clean, and fun read. I loved both Harper and Rusty as characters and felt there was plenty of backstory given on each of them. I did realize after starting the book that it is the third in the Maple Falls Romance series and will say that having not read the first two books did not affect my understanding or enjoyment of this story one bit. Harper is a girly girl, fancy, fashion-loving real estate broker, while Rusty is a mechanic, seems like what my dad would call a "grease-monkey" (that is not negative!), fishing enthusiast, and not into fashion or his appearance. Basically, the two could not be more different. Harper has recently come out of a relationship with an egotistical jerk and Rusty has yet to find true love. The two of them are drawn to each other, but they are about as different as two can be, aside from both being good people at heart. Thanks to Thomas Nelson-Fiction and NetGalley for the eARC. All opinions shared are influenced by nothing other than my own reading experience.

If you like the small-town trope then this book is perfect for you. It's a sweet romantic story with enough angst to keep the readers entertained. There are two storylines; the main story is about Harper and Rusty. And a side story about Harper's parents. I enjoyed both. Also, loved the characters. It's one of those stories that will put a smile on your face and make you feel happy. I love romance because of this feeling; the certainty of a happy ending, and not mention swoon-worthy main characters. In my opinion, it's a must-read for romance lovers.
Harper is a real estate agent who is having trouble with work and her family. And Rusty is a mechanic who loves his work and is currently in the market to buy a house. The two got close as Rusty works on Harper's car. Their friendship grows with time and soon, they realize there is more to the attraction they feel for each other. Unfortunately, neither of them wants to take the first step and both are bad at reading signs. Can they overcome their prejudices and misconceptions to forge something as beautiful as love? Read to find out. ;)

I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley and the review is my honest opinion, which has nothing to do with the author or publisher.
