Hannah Havens moves back to her hometown after finding her boyfriend in a compromising position. She soon runs into (literally) her high school crush, Teddy Fraser. They shared a kiss way back when, and it’s still memorable years later. He tells her he wants to woo her, but she doesn’t want to jump into a new relationship, especially with the town flirt. She’s also not great at peopling, which is causing problems at the veterinary clinic where she works. It’s an ok book. Kind of meh. Their dialogue was cute at times. Hannah’s self loathing got to be a little tiresome to me. The one-dimensional villains, in the form of the high school mean girl who’s still mean, and the cheating ex who wants Hannah back, are so horrible they don’t feel real at all. The neighbor with cognitive impairments was done kind of lackluster too, and tidied up conveniently. The interactions with the animals was cute, and Hannah and Teddy had some good chemistry. I’d read another book by the author but I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend this. (7.25)
This wasn’t my favorite B.K. Borison book, but it was still cute, and an easy, quick read. I’ve only read the first book in the Lovelight series, so this one is out of order for me. I’d still read book 2 and 3 if they become available. Nova is a tattoo artist who feels like she has to do everything perfectly to make her family proud. Charlie is an investment banker who lives 3-4 hours away, but goes to the farm to see his step-sister (Stella, from the first book), and to recharge. It starts as a casual hook up for them, but then moves to business casual, then to more serious. But Charlie has always felt like he doesn’t quite belong anywhere, and he fears he’s overstaying his welcome if he’s not helping to fix something. And Nova’s always been very independent and never wanted a serious partner. There’s not much more to the book. (7.5)
