I would like to thank Tule Publishing and Kyra Jacobs for the E ARC of this first in a series book.
We meet Delaney who runs a landscaping firm with her business partner. She also helps out at the family bookstore that was started by her mother. She loves her small town and being so close to her family. Everyone in Bourbon Falls knows that Delaney can look after herself and doesn’t need a man but it doesn’t stop them trying to find one for her.
During a storm her Neice’s car hydroplanes into the new to towns hermits garden. Delaney promises to fix the garden and so begins her friendship with Isaac. Isaac has come to town to hide away from people and help rebuild his life and to protect those he cares about.
Isaac’s garden was not the only thing damaged in the storm. The bookshops roof needs repairing and the town council can’t help, so it is up to Delaney, her family and friends to get fundraising. When they come up with a good idea, they need a website to aid them and Isaac agrees to help. Maybe he is not the hermit they all think he is. Can Delaney and her friends convince him that he doesn’t need to hide away any more? Will Isaac be the man for Delaney?
A great start to a series. Loved the setting and the characters and I look forward to the next book.

Content Warnings

A charming take on an age old classic. Once Upon a Beast tip toes through a fairytale to deliver a modern day love story. With a hint of sass and an abundance of emotion, Del and Isaac bring a freshness to my favorite romance. Jacobs finds the humor, but never loses sight of the heart.
