Good start to a new series.

Nate packs up everything and leaves Boston for small town life after the unexpected end of a long term relationship. Upon arrival he meets his neighbour Linc, a widower with a young son. They are pretty much physically aware of each other almost immediately but get to know each other more when Linc renovates Nate’s coffee shop. The chemistry between them bubbles along and inevitably they give in to it and things start to heat up and turn steamy.

Nate is somewhat of a romantic and just wants to be with someone who wants him long term whilst Linc feels like he can’t move on after the passing of his wife 6 years earlier. They start dating in a convoluted type of way but eventually a misunderstanding leads to a break up which leaves them both hurting. Fortunately it’s not too long until they make up and get their longed for HEA.

Nate and Linc are both great likeable characters who I couldn’t help cheering on and Linc’s son Beckett is just a gorgeous young boy. There’s a dash of angst in this enjoyable and engaging read and a peek at some interesting side characters who are just waiting for their stories to be told.
