My main problem with this book was that I could not connect with the characters. They had no connection and their decision seemed strange. Like Josie was in love but didn’t want to commit and Kelly was just annoying throughout the book.

A quite boring read. Very stretched out plot with a not enough interesting leads. The most interesting character was the grandmother which is terrible for a romance novel. This story was fine only for a couple of hours of unexciting reading.

All the ingredients of a good book, with a will they won’t they romance, suspense and drama, but, sadly, I just couldn’t get into it. The story drags along and I just didn’t care about any of the characters. Instead of being engrossed in the story I found myself getting hung up on details like - how many times would you think it’s probably a deer when you know there is a weird man hanging around the place? Would you really cry out, moan, plea when your grandmother is sleeping in the next room!? Surely you’d make use of one of the empty cabins?

I did not feel a connection with any of these characters apart from the old woman I did like her but Not enough to make me like this book, I found Kelly to be a pining idiot and Josie was a stupid cliche character, this book was mostly about Kelly wanting a long term meaningful relationship and Josie not wanting to commit because of being scared (eye roll) If I had a quid for every time I read this kind of storyline then I’d be bloody richer than I am now 😏.
I want to say although I didn’t care for this book the authors writing can’t be faulted, this story just grated on my nerves and I’m just a bit sick of the same thing.

Question...would you relocate for love? You probably know people that have. Some have worked out and others did not. Being a romantic, I was pulling for a love connection. What really caught my attention with this read was Josie and her grandmother Ruth. What a beautiful and strong character. Ruth was fighting for her independence but what she really wanted and needed was friendship, love, and to see her granddaughter happy. It was hard not to like all three women and their friends. Some may see Kelly Newton as pushy and whiny, what I see is a women that knows what she wants. When you read Joslyn Harlow you want hug her and say snap out of it, you can move on from this. Although I enjoy a good romance, this read just did not pull me in. Too much back and forth...will she or will she not.
