Summary:
Could an unexpected windfall be the gift of a lifetime?
Alice never expected to inherit the falling-apart-at-the-seams old Wild West B&B she once considered home, nor did she expect that she'd have to share it with two strangers.
Except they weren't always strangers. Once upon a time, they were friends.
One is her ex-BFF Lauren. The other is Knox, the only guy to ever break her heart.
Years ago, each of them independently helped the same woman, never expecting that it would link them together forever. And now Alice, Lauren, and Knox, all broken in their own ways, must find a way to get along with each other. According to the woman's will, they must renovate the inn as a team for one year, or else lose their inheritance.
Stuck together, they make a list of rules to keep the peace. The rules may not be that effective, but if they can weather the storm, they might find something they didn't even know they were looking for - acceptance, real friendship, and maybe even true love.
Review:
So I have to start off by saying thank you to Headline Eternal and Jill Shalvis for having me on this blog tour and sending me a beautiful copy of the book to review!
And now it's a matter of where to start....because I loved this book! I read it in two sittings, and I actually got up early because I wanted to be able to read in peace before the small ones got up because I was so drawn into it!
The Three main protagonists Lauren, Alice and Knox are just really enjoyable people to read about, and I so enjoyed (and occasionally laughed out loud at) the banter between them! Jill Shalvis created them so well and made them so rounded it was fantastic to read.
One of the best parts for me was the emails! I thought it was a really clever way to fill us in on their backstories (which are quite important to what's going on) without having to do chapters that jump back in time.
The friendship between Lauren and Alice is so damn sweet at times, the way that despite not really being friends anymore they still make sure to look out for each other is lovely. And the way that they gradually repaired their relationship was nice, I think if they'd done a forgive-and-forget at the start it wouldn't have felt right.
Now the sparks between Alice and Knox, combined with the banter was a really lovely slow-grow romance! And that ended perfectly for me. Sometimes with romance books, the author wraps everything up too quickly in a neat bow and it feels forced but not so here. It felt like a really lovely organic ending, there were still loose ends and I really liked that. I hope eventually somewhere in the series they come back into play, but you can bet ill keep reading to find out!
