Was very much not my taste... felt like the story was trying to be too many things. Ended up skimming through to the end.

What a sweet story of accepting the gift of love. Charity Puck is a traveling IT woman, hired to help at Butterfly Junction, but the job turns into more. She has never sayed loving in any one place, but her experience in Plentiful is causing her to question her routine. During her stay she starts to believe she can fall in love and really likes Gulliver. It is not an easy road due to people trying to steal his work and an employee getting hurt. One of the best moments was what Gulliver did for her for her birthday, it was so sweet. This book is definitely worth reading, you will not be disappointed with the mix of romance and mystery.
I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a sweet and easy book to read. I loved that the main characters weren't the typical characters in a romance book. Each had a disability that impacted their lives to a point and emotional baggage from their upbringings they had to come to terms with. I loved how they grew together as a couple and individuals.

 This book is so much fun! I think this is one of the first Own Voices books I've read that was written by a disabled author, and I won't let it be my last. Charity is a powerful main character who reminds us that women do not require a man in their life, women are perfectly capable of making their own success, and really, as long as you have a dog like Mojo, what else do you need? As we find out, human companionship can also be something that people need in their life, but I like that the author does not allow this to take away from Charity's independence.

Having the mystery element to the book was a fun addition as well. At times it bordered on reading like a thriller because of the high anxiety I felt! It definitely helps drive the story along quickly and keeps you engaged in wanting to see how things will end.
