Enjoyable small town romance between a new inn manager and her boss who’s an innkeeper/nypd/former army ranger. Mason just unexpectedly lost his dad and is managing the inn while trying to figure out next steps. Unbeknownst to him, his dad hired Pia to come in and help the struggling inn. After getting off on the wrong foot, Mason recognizes Pia’s value at the inn and agrees to keep her on. Additionally, there was some heavy insta-lust between the two. They play the should we game most of the book given that he’s technically her boss and isn’t sure of his future. My issue with the story is the pacing. There was so much build up and wishy-washy feelings and the ending felt rushed and out of nowhere. This would be a good library read for fans of Elsie Silver and Devney Perry.

Thank you Boldwood Books for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Great romance here. Mecca has crafted brilliant characters that will have you invested in this story from the start. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Pía acaba de mudarse a Cedar Falls para empezar de cero, pero se lleva una sorpresa al enterarse de que su jefe ha muerto y que debe convencer al hijo de este de que no la despida y la deje a cargo de la posada.

Quería golpear a Mason cuando salió con la tontería del acuerdo cuando regresó a la ciudad, sólo por eso quería que Pía saliera con otro. Para que se tratara sus palabras.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
