Come As You Are
by Jess K. Hardy
This is a great book full of adult characters and deeper situations than you'd expect from your average KU romance.
Ashley Cooke is watching her late father's dreams falter in front of her as the ski hill he loved is barely (if at all) breaking even. Faced with intense pressure from corporate ski operators, she's not sure how she'll last through the season. When her mom hatches a plan to pair up with a local sober living house to employ their residents, Ashley is convinced. That's until she meets the owner of the house, former grunge rocker, Madigan. He convinces her to sign off on the pairing despite her misgivings. It's not long before the men of Madigan's house are fully integrated into life on the hill, and Ashley and Madigan start to see sparks fly.
The book is pitched as a Gen X romance, but as an elder millennial, I loved it all the same. These are adult characters, with adult problems, who are often trying their best to get through less-than-ideal situations. In particular, the relationship between Ashley and her mom is a pretty perfect encapsulation of how adult daughters (of the Gen X/elder millennial variety) struggle to connect with and overcome their frustrations with Baby Boomer parents. The broader cast of characters all have their own stories that are certainly going to be exciting to explore as the series continues.
Though there is plenty of spice throughout, there's a lot of heart, as well!
