This was such a cute and cozy little read kind of a slow-burn but still enjoyable. Belle Calhoune is such an excellent writer without a doubt. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the book just because I’m not big on the small town clean romance type books. I like a little drama & spice in my life but this was adorably romantic.

It follows two MC’s Nick Keegan a single small town dad who lost his wife a few years back and Harlow Jones a veterinarian from the city who took a job in Mistletoe, Maine temporarily to clear some debt. After a freak accident occurs causing Harlow’s car to slide off the road she meets Nick who happens to be apart of the towns Search & Rescue team. Sparks eventually arise between the two but a few personal things get in the way of their growing relationship.

I was really rooting for Nick and Harlow’s relationship. She kinda gave him a hard time in the beginning but I can’t really blame Harlow considering she had personal issues to deal with of her own. A lot of it was fear, anxiety, and doubt but Nick had his problems too. Both also dealt with some form of loss and were still learning to cope.

All of the characters were lovable even the side characters. I love how the author included Nick’s son Miles and his reaction to his father dating another woman after losing his mom. The characters and the situations they were dealing with or were put into seemed so realistic and easy to relate too. I enjoyed seeing how someone’s life unfolds after losing a spouse and how it affects everyone.

This was the third book in the Mistletoe, Maine series will definitely have to check out the other two books. Overall, I really enjoyed this swoony love story. Definitely recommend if you’re into small town romances it’s worth the read. Special thanks to @readforeverpub for my gifted copy!!!
