A feel-good, enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy
Tall, dark, and handsome. That’s what I think the first time I see Rupert Evans in the library.
But then I find out he is the developer who just sent my community garden a cease and desist letter because he plans to raze the garden and construct some towering monstrosity there.
The only one who is going to cease and desist is him. That community garden is my found family.
But then he asks me out at book club night.
Suspicious, right?
I’m attractive, but I’m not the type hot bachelors are lining up around the block to ask out. Let’s be real. I’m still in the brunch date spot with my next-door neighbor after a year of my pursuing him.
Rupert is trying to butter me up and lead me down the garden path so I’ll concede. Never.
He has no idea what we’re planning to do to stop him. Our little community group may look like a bunch of frail roses, but we’ve got thorns. As long as I weed out these pesky feelings for him, I know we can win
Any book where a man is reading or loves reading, or even knows his stuff about books, well he’s a winner in my eyes…even if he is on the opposition!
I devoured this in one setting. I knew I would. Kathy’s writing is so easy to lose yourself into. She writes real characters, whose plight are relatable and generally feel pretty real! I feel like this could be a story your friend is going through.
I adore Lily and Rupert. Lily is endearing from the start and she has 3 cats! She is my new best friend! I adored this match! Plus I loved seeing the characters from the other books !! Few of them make an appearance.
I love that this is the start of a new series, with characters we know and love and new ones to fall in love with. In my eyes, it is always a winner and Kathy is fast becoming one of my favourite authors.
Until the next time xxx
