Thankyou so much for sending me an ARC of this book and taking a chance on a first time reviewer with NetGalley

I loved this book. It is a closed door small town romance and is book 3 in the two harts series but can be read as a standalone. I devoured it in 2 sittings (only because at midnight I gave up and surrendered to sleep) I am an avid fan of Sarah Adams and this book is very reminiscent of her work being a sweet, funny romance that addresses deeper issues in a thoughtful and gentle way.

The main character Ellie has ADHD and I love how it went into how that looks for a woman and her strategies of coping with it (some of which I’ve pinched to help with my own struggles)

The fix up contains some of my fave tropes of small town, found family, neurodivergence, disability, single parent and rivals to friends to lovers.

I highly recommend this book to people that love small town romance series that make you laugh, cry and really think about life. It is heart felt and cosy with a fantastic plot that keeps you interested and characters that capture your heart.
I can’t wait to read the first two books of this series

this was such a sweet story about two struggling people who found joy in each other. I loved this. I also loved ollie he was such a sweetie. I loved that this was more of a slowburn. overall, such a sweet feel-good love story. thank you to Netgalley for this ARC!

Sweet, quick read. Ellie is a single mom who finds home when she and her son Oliver move to Two Harts. She is hired as a waitress at the local cafe by the cantankerous owner. When he dies, he leaves her his home and cafe. Or half of it, she soon learns. The other half belongs to his grandson, Gilbert. They are required to live there (together ) for six months before their claim becomes official. Neither is happy. Gilbert wants to sell. Ellie wants to stay. But they reluctantly give it a shot. It soon becomes apparent that this was a set up and that maybe there’s a reason they were both left the property.
