By: Fuller, Kathleen

Book Overview

Grab a warm drink and curl up with this seasonal fall grumpy/sunshine, opposites-attract story of unexpected love and small-town charm. From USA TODAY bestselling author Kathleen Fuller comes a cozy, kisses-only romance about fresh starts, autumn leaves, and finding love right next door, perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls and Sarah Adams.

Via Dalton has sworn off men to focus on the two things she loves most: her quirky cat caf , Pawsitive Vibes, and the charming town of Pecan Corner, Ohio. But her peaceful world is shaken when Earl Brewster, the owner of the beloved Second Chapter Books next door, passes away. Via is determined to buy the shop and preserve Earl's legacy, but her plans hit a snag in the form of a tall, handsome, and completely unexpected heir.

Leo Brewster's life is thriving in LA, and the last thing he needs is an inheritance in the middle-of-nowhere, Ohio. But the alternative--letting his estranged mother inherit--has him packing his bags to receive the inheritance, quickly sell it off to the highest bidder, and hightail it back to LA. What he didn't count on was the list of stipulations in the will that has him staying in the small town for a month. Oh, and the determined, sunny caf owner next door who refuses to let him destroy the town's heart without a fight.

Desperate to convince Leo the bookstore is vital to her community, Via challenges Leo to complete her Autumn Bucket List. As they navigate corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and fall festivals, Leo begins to see the magic in Pecan Corner--and in Via. Despite her vow to stay single and his plan to leave, the attraction between them simmers like hot cider.

Can a season of small-town charm convince a city boy to stay, or will Via lose both the bookstore and her heart?

Great comfort read

This is quite the quaint cozy book. Even though is a highly popular genre currently, it didn’t feel as if just another formulaic story. It has a lot of humor and some of the better description work I’ve read. Especially when it’s the male character. You can easily visualize what the writer is describing and see how he sees the female character moving in hyper slow motion as if watching a movie. I was chuckling a lot with the characters and how they felt around one another while denying their attraction. All I could think to myself was that they both really really needed to get laid. It was funny. There were also great quotable moments such as “hands in places they shouldn’t be” that had me chuckling even more. This was perfect for helping me to get through the work day. I enjoyed the book and how the author narrated it as well. Arc read audiobook
