Description

Apple Valley, Washington, is where starting over means surprising new chances, facing trouble always brings a helping hand—and the most unlikely hopes can forever come true…
 
Apricot Sunshine Devereux-Miller needs to stay lost.  Her eccentric aunt's home in Apple Valley is the perfect place to forget her cheating ex-fiance and get her no-longer-perfect life back under control. Plus, it couldn't hurt to fix up the house and turn its neglected orchard into a thriving business.  And if Apricot can keep deputy sheriff Simon Baylor's two lively young daughters out of mischief, maybe she can ignore that he’s downright irresistible—and everything she never dreamed she'd find ...
 
Simon isn't looking to have his heart broken again.  He already has his hands full raising his girls. And lately he's thinking way too much about Apricot's take-charge energy and unwitting knack for stirring up trouble. He can't see a single way they could ever be right for each other. Unless they can take a crazy chance on trusting their hearts—and risking the courage to finally find their way home.
Apple Valley, Washington, is where starting over means surprising new chances, facing trouble always brings a helping hand—and the most unlikely hopes can forever come true…

This book was enchanting! There is nothing I didn't love about it. Apricot and Simon seemed like real people with real problems that were handled joy, love and humor. I can't get enough and am getting the first books in the series immediately. I'd give it ten stars if I could!

This is one of these simply delicious stories. Without too much drama, without too many complications, without silly repetitions(ok, maybe the word “muscles” had been a bit overused)and with good dialogues and a touch of humor. Despite being set in a small town where everyone knows everyone, it does not fall into the cliche of the busybodies and manipulatives characters that handle the history at will. Here, the MC are those who carry the weight of history. It is refreshing that they are so sincere and don't allow the misunderstandings get between them. There are over characters, of course, but they contribute with a bit of humor and drama to the story, nothing more.
I liked it. It is a sweet, unpretentious and pleasant story to read. Recommended for those who loves the stories without complications and a little sweet set in small towns.

Esta es una de esas historias simplemente deliciosa. Sin demasiado drama, sin demasiadas complicaciones, sin repeticiones y con buenos diálogos y un toque de humor. A pesar de estar ambientada en una pequeña comunidad donde todos conocen a todos, no cae en el tópico de los personajes metomentodos y manipuladores que manejan la historia a su antojo. Aquí los protagonistas son los que llevan el peso de la historia. Es refrescante que los protagonistas sean tan sinceros y no dejen hueco para los malentendidos. Hay personajes excesivos, por supuesto, pero aportan su granito de humor y drama a la historia, nada más.
Me ha gustado. Es una historia dulce, sin pretensiones y agradable de leer. Recomendable para los que le gusten las historias sin complicaciones y un poquito azucaradas ambientadas en pueblos pequeños.
