Loved this book! It’s often hard for me to read a book after I’ve seen the movie but Hallmark does a fantastic job with the adaptations! THE STORY OF US was even better than the movie! I felt like I got to know the characters on a much deeper level which helped me connect to the story even more. Nothing better than a happily ever after!

A sweet story, entertaining and engrossing. I liked the well crafted plot, the fleshed out cast of characters and the setting.
It's the first book I read by this author and won't surely be the last.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

I LOVED the Accidental Beauty Queen so when this popped up, I jumped on the chance to read another book by Teri Wilson. When I say it's like reading a Hallmark movie, Teri actually writes Hallmark Movies. This was spot on in that category. The Story of Us is a second chance romance that mixes with enemies to lovers. Jaime and Sawyer were high school sweethearts who are now battling over the future of their small hometown and the future of her bookstore. The story of their struggles to reconnect, fight for their own dreams and the future of their community is heartwarming and very picturesque. It's easy to picture yourself IN Waterford watching this story unfold. This mix of Hallmark holiday and You've Got Mail is one to definitely add to your TBR.

This is such a good book!
I truly enjoyed reading it!
It's a heartwarming & moving story.
Everything you want in a true romance.
Jamie, owns True Love Books & Cafe.
She has loved the place since she
was young. Now proud to call it her own.
She recently found a flyer about
a retail development project, that would tear down the area where her store is.
Sawyer, an architect, designer of the new project, is in Waterford to speak with the business owners & get the design approved. Spending time in his hometown & seeing Jamie again, has brought back the feelings he felt before.
It has the small town charm
& the comfort of friends & family. 
A romantic story that pulls on your
heartstrings from start to finish!!

You may think this book is just another tried and true boy loves girl, boy moves away, boy and girl reunite love story. Oh no- this is the sweetest, most refreshing and genuine romance I have ever read. The Story of Us features:

A charming small town in Oregon
A darling bookstore called the True Love Bookstore and Café
Cupcakes and flowers galore
Valentines and love letters
A handsome and educated guy, Sawyer
A pretty and spunky young lady, Jamie who is on a “romantic hiatus”
Good friends
An all-knowing cat
Lattes topped with heart-shaped whipped cream
A few problems, a la jane Austen
Sparkling chemistry between the two main characters, and their sidekicks

What more could you want? Well, how about a storybook ending featuring a kiss steeped in fairytales and valentines and a kiss born of literature and love stories. Happy Valentine’s Day and swoon over this appealing “once upon a time” romance. I agree with sweet Jamie, “the lure of love never goes away.”

And since this is a Hallmark romance, there is a recipe for Wild Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto- wow! Thanks to NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for an advance review copy. This is my honest review.

This book reminds us that while it might be fun to read these stories, it couldn't have been very fun to live in the actual time (which is why I can not stand time travel stories that strand women in the past, where are the stories that bring a lady from that time and strand her in the present and watch her blossom with all the freedoms and opportunity she could have).

The Story of Us by Teri Wilson is an excellent Valentines-themed sweet romance. This is the second book that I have read by Ms Wilson, and I loved it just as much as Love at the Shore.

I enjoyed the traditional plot of two people separated by distance and time finding each other again and overcoming the odds to find themselves and one another. However, the author’s ability to create interesting details, like able characters, beautiful imagery, smooth and intriguing prose, and a realistic and satisfying plot make this book a true winner.

I loved Sawyer and Jamie. I loved their history, interactions, and chemistry. I was very satisfied with their ending. I also loved Lucy and Rick (and yes Eliot) and I loved their chemistry as well.

I loved the location in small-town Oregon and felt as if I was actually there amongst the pink and red glittery hearts. I also really, really liked the author’s inclusion of Harrison and Mary’s letters. So romantic!!!!

5/5 stars. Perfect in every way.
