Love in the Aisles by Heather Van Fleet, Jessica Calla
4.0
Thank you NetGalley and Heather Van Fleet for gifting me an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!
When Hollywood Hunk Ian Tate is dumped at the altar he escapes to his parent’s in the small town of Sunrise Valley for a break before his next movie starts. Ian changes not only his appearance but also his name in order to hide his famous identity. He never planned on meeting Charlotte Dawson, the beautiful and sweet single mother who seems out of place in the Georgia town. Outsider Charlotte Dawson married Sunrise Valley’s most eligible bachelor, upsetting most of the town and creating enemies out of the town’s older population. When he dies of cancer, Charlotte decides to stay in the small town, anyways, despite the daily bullying she endures. Their chemistry is instant and soon Ian’s secret is getting too hard to keep.
I blew through this one, knocking out 60% of the book before I looked up for a snack break. Their chemistry was instant and bot characters were relatable and likeable. The only thing keeping this from being a solid 5 star romance for me, was the sometimes unrealistic “fluff”. I am not a fan of the cheesy, overly sappy romance type in real life or in books so that opinion is 100% a personal one. Granted there wasn’t too much of that in here and if you’re a true romance fan you’ll probably love all of the sweet moments peppered throughout the dialogue!
This is a clean, instant love romance that will work as the perfect palate cleanser after a heavier book!
