Blurb:
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 cliché?

Four Stars!
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!
