*2nd read through was me listening to the audio! Y’all it was so much fun! I loved how the narrator brought everything to life. She was delightful to listen to. And these characters pulled me in again and had me invested in their story. I laughed and giggled and sighed and cheered them all on during this second go round. This is one I will be returning. Keep reading to see more of my thoughts about the book.*
Be still my heart!!! This book had me smiling and giggling so much. There might have possibly been a few tears as well. *Happy Sigh* I just love when this author releases a new book and I can snuggle up and read it! I don’t want to stop or let anything interrupt me. This book had all the feels! I couldn’t help but grin and cheer for Charlotte and Drake! The magic of the Valentine Inn is real people! It called to Charlotte. George and his sweet wife (she’s passed away) were charming. I loved how they added to the magic of this inn.
Charlotte’s personality made me feel like I was hanging out with my bestie and that I could share anything and everything and that we would be ok because we have each other’s backs. Do you have a bestie like that? I do! And the further I read into the book, the more I just adored her character!!! Soooo much! She’s so sweet and gentle. But she has spunk and this wonderful inner strength. She’s deeply loyal and caring! I just adore her so much! And I loved when she would start hearing her sister’s warnings in her mind. Hahaha! Her sister Izzy was so much fun! She had me cracking up laughing too! I can’t wait for her story to be written!
Drake, oh Drake. What can I say but he’s funny and wonderful and frustratingly frustrating! But that charm. He has a few secrets that keep him to himself. Charlotte is going to have to work hard to break down those walls. But that might not happen. Especially after her secret comes out!
Amidst all of the fun and giggles and smiles and swoony moments, there are some serious moments and conversations. Drake and Charlotte have to work out some of their issues, one of them is the fact that he doesn’t know he has a son. Jameson is darling!!! I loved how well written his character was. He stole my heart just like he did his dad’s and everyone else who meets him! He had his mom’s sense of humor and was just such a loving and accepting child. This family needs to work out several of their struggles but you’ll love the journey that they go on. Drake is such a fun father to watch. He struggles and doesn’t know the first thing about kids but man was he adorable as he tried to figure out life and fatherhood!!! I loved watching them learn to love and forgive and help each other!
This book is magical and I loved seeing how Charlotte kept hope in soul mates. If you don’t believe in true love and soul mates, this book just might have you changing your mind!!!
There were so many great one liners and scenes that had me laughing out loud. Probably a good thing that I was at my house and not reading the book in public. I might have had a few funny looks! Hee Hee!!!
You need to make sure that you have plenty of time set aside to read this book because I promise once you pick it up, you won’t want to set it down.
Content: There are some mild swear words scattered throughout (h*ll, d*mn). Some mild innuendos and the couple spends a night together. The scene fades to black and doesn’t go into detail. Mostly just kissing.
I received an ARC from the author but have also purchased my own copy. All thoughts and opinions in the review are my own.
Happy Reading!!!
