📖Book Info
I’m stuck in a rot. As a successful lawyer in my parent’s New York City office, I’m sick and tired of their greed and lifelong insistence on putting their powerhouse practice above all else—including me and my siblings. I should have done what my brother and sister did…turn my back on law. It’s time to quit the firm and return to the only home I’ve ever known, the quiet town of Moose Village in Upstate New York.
Not much has changed in the tiny town in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Or so I thought. Moose Village is playing host to a mystery woman. And she happens to be working for my aunt’s bakery. The lovely Cadie Waterford is the talk of the town gossip, as much for her luscious banana bread as her willingness to talk about her past.
I’m not normally one to engage in gossip…but the more time I spend with Cadie, the more intrigued I become. Whatever her secrets may be, I’m sure I can handle them—but when words like FBI, CIA, and even murder come into play, does Cadie need more protection than I thought?
Or does Moose Village need protection from Cadie?
💭Our Thoughts
Go one-click this one it's more than worth trading your morning coffee ☕️ for
Cadie wants to start over. Completely over. So she drives and ends up in Moose Village.
Kain is done with the rat race life he never wanted anyway so he returns home to Moose Village to follow his dream
From there our story begins
This was a well-paced, slow-burn romance shrouded in a bit of a mystery when it came to Cadie's past (pretty exciting stuff when it is revealed)
There is some light excitement here and there
All the small-town drama you expect
The aches of negative parental units
Family bonds
As well as some surprises that I didnt see coming
Don't worry none of the drama is overly daunting - just that light annoying stuff that can leave you walking away with a sigh, or a smile
It has a Happy ever after or two
It is one of those that once you start you forget you are in a fictional world. Easily attaching to the characters, I found myself cheering them on or wishing for their demise sometimes both :)
When it came to Kian and Cadie, they just fit.
The undeniable spark between them. How natural their progression felt.
"Lord, this was like a soap opera. Or a train wreck. Maybe it was a little bit of both"
Kian's 'rents need to stay in their own lanes.
Opal is just the sweetest, she deserved her HEA
Sally is just the best surrogate for everything
And the gossip chain queen(s) - I am excited to see how that little war plays out
Great start to the series. An engaging storyline that is easy to fall into with a cast that will steal your heart
