When Alec Met Evie by Jenny Proctor
4.5
funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

This was adorable to say the least. 

Alec is the older brother of Evie's best friend and she had a crush on him in her teens but he's 9 years older so she never saw him ever liking her. But fate brings them into orbit of each other again..... She's coming to Harvest Hollow for a job, divorced and with a baby in tow.

Alec rescues her when her rental floods and gives her and her baby, Juno, a place to crash until it is fixed. 

Alec has a big, big heart. I love how he absolutely MELTS for Juno the first time he holds her. The scene where he gets her to sleep (shirtless of course 😉) is perfection. Evie's ex is just, ugh!! He didn't deserve either of them. He really showed his true colors. I love that her ex-mother in law helped her out post divorce. 

The hockey team and their wives/girlfriends are just so amazing in the way they immediately bring Evie and Juno into their circle. The scene where Logan confesses a secret had me laughing so hard. I really liked how Alex's sister actually cheered them if they ever got into a relationship. It was never really awkward for her to admit that. The way Alec watched out for the 18 y.o. twins on the team and how now "Apples" is my favorite mistake.
