I guess I’m a fan of lumberjacks now, who knew?!  

This is my first Daphne Elliot book and it’s safe to say it’s not my last.  This is a workplace place romance with the added complication of Lila’s ex boyfriend is Owen’s brother.  The chemistry between these two is off the charts.  Lila is so open and honest with her feelings and while Owen is the opposite, he is still the sweetest book boyfriend.  His understanding and care with Lila’s celiac’s disease was just perfect. It was also nice to see celiac’s disease was represented (and represented well) in this book.  

Will they be able to overcome the challenges in their way to find their happily ever after?  Read this book to find out!

I’m looking forward to traveling back to Maine for the next book in this series.  

Thank you to Daphne Elliot and The Author Agency for the ARC of this book.
