From Amazon Charts bestselling author Jennifer Millikin comes a new cozy, laugh-out-loud romance.
Callum Goode, the grumpy creator of the beloved website Goode Tidings, never planned on unlawfully occupying the abandoned lakeside cabin where he spent summers as a child. But after a painful and humiliating betrayal, he trades the city for a secluded life in the mountains. There he finds peace, solitude, and a hot tub—which is where Callum happens to be when Eden Madigan and her teenage son wander onto his property claiming the cabin is theirs for the next year.
Seeking space from the newcomers, Callum moves into the small backyard office. Eden might be beautiful and funny, but she's also the no-filter ex-wife of Callum's former stepbrother, making her totally off-limits.
Callum appears to be all scowls and ruggedly handsome, but Eden knows there's more to him. She's determined to peel back his layers, but what she's really doing is getting under his skin in a way neither of them expected.
Eden maintains that bringing Callum coffee every afternoon is just a simple kindness. Callum claims he was only offering a friendly ear when Eden was upset. But the way Callum has been showing up in town wearing an uncharacteristic smile on his face says otherwise.
With tentative touches lingering, and lengthy glances heating up, Callum's grasp on his control begins to slip.
And when the tension finally snaps? There's no going back.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars -
4 1/2 stars for me. I did find this story to be full of love, wit, and complications. Eden was trying to straighten out her life after work issues. I loved her relationship with her son, which felt like true teen-mom interactions. Eden was smart yet felt like she had low self-esteem at times. Enter her first glimpse of Callum, a very entertaining scene. He was a bit of a grouch, loner, with his own family issues. I loved how he stepped up with Oliver and Eden. He was protective and pushed her when she needed it. How things worked out in the end brought tears to my eyes. Enjoyable read.
Hannah Chiclana and Aaron Donahue brought the humor, love, and tension to the story with their narration. They helped me enjoy this story.
I received an audiobook through Valentine PR, and this is my unsolicited review.
