Abby Callier is more in love with Shakespearean heroes than
any real man, and she’s beginning to wonder if there is life for her outside
the pages of a book. It doesn’t help that her esteemed parents tend to view her
as they would one of their science experiments gone wrong. On the eve of
finishing her dissertation, she escapes her staid existence to live in the
house she inherited from her Great Aunt Evie in the small town of Echo Springs,
Colorado. Because, let’s face it, when a woman starts comparing her life to horror
films, it might be time for a break.
Sheriff Nate Barnes believes in law and order and carefully
building the life you want. In his spare time, he has been remodeling his house
in the hope that one day it will be filled with the family he makes. But Nate
doesn’t like drama or complications and tends to avoid them at all costs. And
yet, when Miss Abigail Callier, his newest neighbor, beans him with a nine
iron, he can’t help but wonder if she might just be the complication he’s been
searching for all along. It doesn’t hurt that he discovers a journal hidden
away by the previous tenant and decides to use Old Man Turner’s advice to
romance Abby into his life.
Abby never expected her next-door neighbor, the newly dubbed
Sheriff Stud Muffin, to be just the distraction her world needed. The problem
is she doesn’t know whether she should make Echo Springs her home, or if this
town is just a stopover point in her life’s trajectory. And she doesn’t want to
tell Nate that she might not be sticking around—even though she should because
it’s the right thing to do, the honest thing—because then all the
scintillatingly hot kisses with the Sheriff will come to an abrupt halt. Did
she mention that he’s a really great kisser?

Review
4.5 Stars
I enjoyed this one start to finish. This is the first book I've read by this author and I can tell you it won't be the last. I loved the humor in this book. I was chuckling a lot especially with Nate's dog. He was quite the character. Nate and Abby had me invested in their story right from the start. I just loved Abby. She doesn't fit the mold her family has for her and she's finding her self confidence to follow her heart. That's one of my favorite things about this book watching Abby blossom. The mystery revolving around the break ins was also an intriguing part of the book. Trying to figure out who is behind it. I also loved the small town setting a lot. It created a pretty picture in my head. One of my other favorite parts is the journal and the little tid bits of advice before each chapter. I would highly recommend this one. I can tell you I'm eagerly awaiting the next book in the series!
