Love You Now

I’ve read like every other book in this series so far, but as they are basically standalones with interconnections through the family, that works okay. I own the ones I haven’t read yet, need to fit those in! But this was another wonderful love story. First was the oldest brother in the Luview family, Dennis. He’s just come back from the military, retiring after a definitely traumatic experience. We don’t know exactly what right away, but it’s easy to guess it has something to do with a child since every time he is around a little kid in certain situations he starts to have a panic attack. Even being from the town of Love You, or maybe because he’s from the town, he’s a bit of a cynic, or at least he doesn’t really care for all the kitschy romantic stuff his hometown does.
And then there is Ana, who is also coming off of a not so great experience with an ex-boyfriend who turned out to be a drug dealer, and even worse when we learn about her pregnancy. But Ana and Dennis have a perfect meet-cute, and an instant connection, even if the two of them really try to deny it can be anything more than a one night stand to themselves and each other that night.
They spend a few months or so apart, as Ana finds out about the pregnancy and doesn’t feel it is right to try to start a relationship with someone who isn’t the father of her child, because why would someone want to be with her in that situation, or at least that’s what she thinks. Dennis can’t get her out of his head though, and she is constantly in his thoughts.
I loved how they ended up running into each other again, and how the whole thing got turned into a big town gossip event. As usual the cast of characters in this small town make for lots of extra bits of fun in the story. I have to also say that I loved that Ana’s best friend came from a family that owned and ran a cheese store. And it made me wish there was a cheese store closer to where I live, or that I had a friend with a cheese store. Or maybe instead of a bookstore I should open a cheese store, lol.
Another sweet story for the series, and as I said at the start of this review, I’ve got to get my two books I haven’t read yet out and fill in all the details of the series. Oh, and I have to mention the extra epilogue was perfect and I loved it too!
