Hollywood screenwriter Sawyer Walsh knows a good love story when he sees it. But when it comes to real life romance, he’s a mess. That’s how he finds himself standing at the altar…as his ex-girlfriend ties the knot with his very famous best friend. The pressure, the resentment, the media coverage—it’s all too much—and before he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s making a run for it, leaving a shocked congregation and flashing cameras in his wake.
Needing to lie low amid the media fallout, Sawyer lands in the charming town of Canoodle, California, where he crosses paths with Fallon Long, who runs the Canoodle Cove Cabins, a family-owned business and Sawyer’s new short-term residence. Overwhelmed with renovations and her long list of responsibilities, Fallon is struggling to make ends meet while attempting to bring the cabins back to their original glory. So when Sawyer arrives, she is grateful for the income, but immediately writes him off as just another vapid Hollywood hack, until he begins to prove her wrong at every turn.
As Fallon comes closer to saving the family business, an undeniable bond forms between her and the handsome screenwriter. But the pressures of her family obligations and Sawyer’s notoriety might prove to be too much for anyone to handle. Could Canoodle be the setting for a new romance—or is true love just a Hollywood clichรฉ?
This book was so cute! It starts off with our main Hero being forced to be the best man in his ex’s and “best friends” wedding. I started laughing immediately as we got into Sawyer’s head and was rooting for him to get the hell out of that place. And out he did, Cinderella-style, and made his way up into the San Jacinto mountains.
Fallon our heroine just so happens to be at the bar our tuxedo-wearing, one-shoe H stumbles upon, and he really knows how to make an ass out of himself as he drinks himself stupid. Fallon recognizes him but he has no recollection of her, and she doesn’t like him very much from what she remembers. I could go on and on about this hilarious meeting and how Sawyer ends up staying in the mountains but why ruin all the funny moments?
Sawyer decides he needs peace and an escape from the entertainment industry in LA so stays up in the mountains in Fallon’s cabins. He begins bonding with the town and the people and slowly wins everyone over, including Fallon.
I loved the friendship that Fallon and Sawyer formed. Sawyer was such a good person with such a big heart and so was Fallon, unfortunately, Fallon had a wonderful boyfriend that adored her, and as Sawyer developed feelings towards Fallon he knew he couldn’t do anything about them.
"Sawyer drunkenly stumbled back into my life and quickly stole my heart."
This book was different from any of Meghan’s books I’ve read. The majority of the book was the H and h bonding and building a friendship, the h had a boyfriend for most of the book too. Meghan definitely likes her slow-burn romances but this was a slow-burn friendship turned into romance. You don't get a lot of steam or angst, but you get a lot of laughs and feel good while reading. It is definitely a feel-good book. And you will love all of the side characters! If you are in the mood for a book that will make you laugh, smile, and tug your heartstrings this is the book for you!
"People look for leaders to guide them through the dark. You lit a light, and people followed."
Fall in love with billionaire, Fordham Sharpe, and sassy businesswoman, Ellery Sinclair, in this all-new wrong place at the right time, forced proximity, office romance by New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg.
One stormy night.
One hotel bar full of stranded travelers.
One available chair next to a charming, mysterious, and sexy-as-hell man.
There was something about him and our conversation that made me feel alive. That made me feel heard. ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ด๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ข ๐ง๐ช๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐ฆ.
When our paths crossed again, I never expected the stranger to be Fordham Sharpe, one-third of the sinfully rich and ridiculously successful Sharpe International Network brothers. Nor did I expect we’d become partners—๐ง๐ช๐ง๐ต๐บ-๐ง๐ช๐ง๐ต๐บ—in a hotel transformation that dreams were made of.
To him, I was off limits. He was my venture partner, and we knew better than to mix business with pleasure. But we had one thing in common—we were both hiding. From our pasts. From unresolved family conflicts. From what really mattered—our hearts.
But as each day passed, our mutual attraction became harder to resist.
We agreed to the partnership to prove our worth to our families, but perhaps we’d only prove our need for something else. ๐๐ข๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ.
I loved this series, and now I think Ford may be my favorite. Celery Ellery and Fordham the University are so damn cute! K. Bromberg is a pro at writing a strong female, that’s why I love reading her books so much, you don't feel like you're getting a heroine that can’t speak up for herself or is wishy-washy. I loved this about Ellery, she was a strong businesswoman and had her mind set on what she wanted. And Ford our hero was supportive and strong and wants to to Ellery succeed. He was so sweet and just a bit shy which I found so endearing. Let me rewind a minute and talk a little about how they met.
Both Ellery and Ford are stranded in an old bar that happens to be a hotel in the Hamptons, both are not in good moods, and there because they needed to get away, a storm has come through and all roads have closed leaving everyone in the bar for the night. Ellery and Ford strike up a conversation and keep each other company, making each other feel a spark and fire they didn’t expect. They told each other their visions and dreams of this dive hotel, but once morning comes Ellery is gone leaving Ford with only thoughts of her.
When they cross paths again after that night Ellery is shocked to discover who Ford is and agrees to a partnership. I loved their partnership and how Ford let Ellery run with her ideas, I loved the forced proximity of this story that builds and builds and has you waiting for someone to break. I loved their easy conversations and their banter, how they understood what the other needed. And when all that build-up sexual tension finally comes to an end it is explosive. The only problem is that neither one of them is completely telling each other everything and holding back just enough. Ellery doesn’t want to love and is scared by it.
“Ellery Sinclair does not fall in love. Correction, Ellery Sinclair will not fall in love.”
Will that push Ford away or can he convince her she is worthy of a happily ever after?
“She doesn’t read the epilogues. She doesn’t believe in happily ever afters.”
Talk about epilogues, everyone that reads my reviews know they are my favorite and this one didn’t disappoint! I’m not ready to let this series go yet!!
