Thanks to Putnam for the copy of this book!

When the town of Redford, Georgia's benefactor passes away, his grandson, Carter, comes into town. Jess, a romance editor who grew up in the small town and forms an instant connection with Carter - and luckily he has to stick around for a little longer than expected. Turns out the benefactor made his inheritance into a game that the whole town is expected to participate in. Everything shuts down for these (pretty absurd) games to take place, and romance starts blooming. This was a fun read, but maybe a little immature. It read almost a little YA to me - the characters seemed like they were more late teens/early 20s than their actual ages in the book. It was fun and escapist, which is definitely Lacie's MO with her romance novels!

Read if you:
- like small-town settings
- want multiple POVs and storylines in a romance
- need an escapist read filled with silliness
