I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I found it for free on Amazon and even though I should have been reading other books in my TBR pile, I was drawn to it. I love the idea of the quirky hero and the woman who really understands him. It’s sweet and fun and totally made me happy.

The characters are addictive and easily made their way into my heart. I rooted for them from the first page and anxiously waited for them to get to their HEA. Mason is too smart for his own good, which makes him a bit weird to most people. But for someone who appreciates his big … brain, he’s just perfect.

And Adrianne is that person. She’s smart and caring and loves her new town. The people in it and the slower pace it can give her. The fact that she truly appreciates all those things that make Mason who he is just makes her extra appealing, to him and to us.

There are so many ways that the strife could have happened between the two of them, but I really love how Nichols made her characters smarter than that. Their difficulties (and how they handled them) weren’t cliched and that made their story all the more enjoyable.
