I am all for INSTA-STUFF, as long as it is done right. The GFY is one of my favorite trope but here I found it unbelievable.

And after reading so many books where characters talk instead of running or giving each other the silent treatment I don’t think I can stand this. Time of surrender at 55% when the first sex scene did nothing to my body.Īnd I read the other reviews plus spoilers, and there is some unnecessary miscommunication happening towards the end, so I know I am not missing anything. I just needed more of an emotional pull and less of a predictable story. The story was just as sweet as Keeping Sweets and i love the writing. I was a little disappointed because I was expecting something a little more angsty like Keeping Sweets. Which place held his future, Seattle or Hope Cove and was he willing to fight for it? But Hope Cove and his sister's legacy was hard to leave behind, especially Sheriff Mack. Overwhelmed about the news, Oliver decided to travel to Hope Cove to see if he would find some connection with the family he hadn't grown up with.ĭuring this period of discovery, Oliver began falling in love with the town and the town's mayor but when he found out the real cause of his sister's death, Oliver decided to stop living in this fantasy and return to his life in Seattle. His sister who had been looking for him left him her bakery in Hope Cove, Maine.

Oliver was alone and knew nothing about his parents, so Mack was filling in the past for him. Oliver Parrish was making ends meet as a sous chef when Sheriff Owen Macklin aka Mack came to Seattle to tell him the sister he didn't know he even had was dead.

This book wasn't very angsty or dramatic, I would say it was mundane.
