This was fun! The suspense/mystery part of it wasn’t exactly top tier, but the relationship part was very heart warming.

This book was just too adorable for words. I’m obsessed in a very good way. Audrey is a true ray of sunshine, bubbly, optimistic girl. And Josiah is a stoic, broody lumberhunk. Opposites totally attract in this story. Audrey has come home, feeling like she failed out in the world on her own. She moves in with her mom, which has her quickly looking for a place of her own when her derpy dog, Max constantly wants to make friends with her mom’s princess of a cat. She ends up moving into a rental property that Josiah owns, next door to the property he is renovating to put on the rental market. Their meet cute was an adorable and hilarious. Josiah tries really hard to not like and fall for Audrey, he’s got some serious abandonment issues and with good reason. It’s why he is so stubborn about staying single. It doesn’t take long for the stalker to start making themselves known to Audrey, and at first she tries to explain it away but from the first moment, something eats at Josiah. He can’t stop being protective and possessive over Audrey which is just a yummy combination. This town is just the best with amazing and funny characters, such an amazing small town community who truly comes together for each other. As always, you can expect a Claire Kingsley story to be heartwarming and these two characters don’t disappoint. Taking some words from Audrey, this story has “leveled up.” It not only met all expectations of Tilikum with the squirrels, the gossip line, Haven brothers and Bailey brothers, but it exceeded those expectations and made the debut Haven brothers book amazing. Josiah and Audrey are the perfect Grumpy and Sunshine pair, much like Asher and Grace were. It doesn’t surprise me that Josiah and Asher have become friends. This small town romance with a bit of thrill and a whole lot of love is heartwarming and beautiful. A significant milestone for Tilikum fans who have been waiting on the edge of their seat for this first Haven brother to be dragged down the aisle into “wedded bliss” like the Bailey brothers. The story was very well written with meet cutes, new friendships, friendly competitions, wonderful community, some steamy times and true love. Leave it to Claire Kingsley to make us fall in love with the Haven brothers like we did the Bailey brothers.
