When Willa Masterson left White Pine, Minnesota 12 years ago that included boyfriend, Burke Olmstead. But now she's back, pride shattered, fortune gone and looking to restore her family home into a B & B. The very one that now contractor Burke Olmstead hoped to make his own. Once again the two are working together but can they keep things strictly business?

This was my first book by Amos and there was a lot I liked. She did a great job with the small town vibe without overdoing it and I really liked the side characters. I love a good second chance romance and I never can resist any story that involves home renovation. However, this one had a number of things that just didn't work for me. The main issue is that both Willa and Burke seemed so stuck on their high school relationship and it very much had a glory days feel to it. This is high on the personal preference scale but it's something I never particularly enjoy. As well, Willa took mean girl to whole new levels and while she does spend some time trying to make up for being a really awful person it mostly seemed like she was doing that because of how things had turned against her versus legitimately feeling bad for how she had behaved. While I liked Burke better I didn't like his plan to essentially to manipulate Willa on home renovations so that it seemed too expensive and too overwhelming and she would sell to him. Overall, I didn't particularly care for the characters in this book which affected my feeling about the book overall. I did enjoy Amos' writing style and the world she created so I would give this series another try but I'd be sure to carefully read the blurb.
