Super predictable premise, but the addition of the classic car and the heroine living in a gas station and owning a candle shop was a pretty cool addition to a "basic recipe".

This was cute but very predictable story. Megan is heartbroken and never wants to fall in love again here come Noah a boy from California who is heart broken and never wants to fall in love again..I wonder what will happen next. lol Not a bad story I love the fact that Megan has her own candle company and she lives in an old gas station. Cast of characters is great to.

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

Megan's father has left her a 1958 DeSoto Adventurer. When Noah Black comes to Boot Creek for a wedding he decides to get the car from Megan and bets a 1000 dollars. But as the two spend time together it becomes more about the girl than the car. A delightful romance

Megan Howard and Noah Black are the best an and maid-of-honor at their best friend's wedding in Boot Creek, California. While they are happy for their friend's love match, neither of them see it in their future. Megan and Noah are both classic car enthusiasts and that is the link that brings them together. Noah has never met a girl like Megan who doesn't want to pursue a relationship with him and get him to change and discover love together. Megan has been hurt before and she is committed to a single life without the complication of a relationship ever again. Before Noah gets to know Megan, he makes a bet that he will be able to get her to sell him her father's classic DeSoto Adventurer and once Megan finds out about the bet, she is convinced that he only pursued her because he wanted her car. Can Noah repair the damage he has caused by his desire to get whatever wants? Will Megan ever be able to forgive him and trust him again? You will have to read and find out for yourself.

This is not the first book I have read by this author and I enjoyed reading Megan and Noah's story very much. I also liked the supporting characters and their stories. I would love to have a follow-up story about Flynn and find out if she is able to ever find the love she seeks.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

I am a fan of Nancy and her books but couldn't get into this one. I love the cover and blurb but I felt it was slow and didn't process as fast as it should have.

Actual Rating: 3.75

This was a great read. The story and characters were really strong. I thought the ending was great. I just wish that the hero did the big gesture instead of the heroine. This book can be read as a standalone or you can read the whole series. I can't wait to read more books from this author. Overall, an enjoyable read.
