About this listen

Cori Stratton’s a small-town girl. She loves making candles, and her little gift shop is her pride and joy. But when the shop’s building goes up for sale, she might lose her home and everything that makes her happy. The worst timing of all? Her landlord’s daughter Elizabeth Brennan—popular, smart, and oblivious to Cori’s existence in high school—has breezed back into town.

Life has not gone according to plan for Elizabeth. Laid off from her job in the city, she’s forced back home to help her mom run the family’s B&B during a week-long wedding celebration…for Liz’s ex. Not wanting the groom to know how in shambles her life is, she grabs the nearest person—Cori—and tells him how happy they are together.

Liz’s father owning Cori’s building may be the trump card she needs to keep Cori playing along. Can they strike a deal to save Cori’s store and help Liz survive the wedding? Just for the week. There’s no way this fake relationship will turn into the real deal.

What I like about Georgia Beers novels is their consistency. They are slow burn sweet with likeable characters and a story with enough substance to keep you interested. We all know how a romance novel is going to end but Georgia Beers takes us on journey with lovely scenery.

Good story, good momentum, good romance

secrets, prodigal daughter, jealous sister, return to hometown
more secrets, business worry, high-school crush return,
so many intricate ingredients make this a delightful listen, weaving the mcs into each others lives thanks to a spider
and with l.larkin narration it's low angst happiness, warmth on a winters day.

I’m a big fan, I’ve read every Georgia Beers book as it’s been released. This one was disappointing though. The set up was overly contrived and there wasn’t enough tension in the relationship to span the book. Shame.

Not Georgia’s best
