Brynn Cornell is America’s sweetheart co-host of the popular morning news show Sunup. That is, until she is caught on air bad mouthing her small hometown of Adelaide Springs, Colorado. In a last-ditch effort to get viewers back on her side, Brynn travels back to her hometown of 314 people, seeking to apologize for her negative words and capture some feel-good footage. Sebastian Sudworth, a former journalist who left big media behind for small town living, is a city council member in Adelaide Springs, and is tasked with chauffeuring Brynn around town. Sebastian can see right through Brynn’s sunny exterior, but she is determined to not let him stop her from getting her career back on track. But it’s hard to play nice around someone you hate…even more so if you might be crazy about them. 

Thank you to @netgalley, @seebethanywrite, and @thomasnelson for the advance copy! I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. First of all, there is a coffee shop in the book called the Bean Franklin and now I must go there. Brynn’s character developed a lot throughout the story. At first she came off as a bit entitled to me, but as we get to learn more about her and her past I really grew to like her. I liked Sebastian from the start, and I liked him even more once more of his backstory was revealed. The banter between Brynn and Sebastian was so good. And I really loved the cozy small town vibes and how many fun side characters there were. Brynn & Sebastian’s story hits shelves on September 5!
