Publisher's summary

After her father loses the family fortune in an insider-trading scheme, single mom Parker Welles is faced with some hard decisions. First order of business: go to Gideon's Cove, Maine, to sell the only thing she now owns-a decrepit house in need of some serious flipping. When her father's wingman, James Cahill, asks to go with her, she's not thrilled . . . even if he is fairly gorgeous and knows his way around a toolbox.

Having to fend for herself financially for the first time in her life, Parker signs on as a florist's assistant and starts to find out who she really is. Maybe James isn't the glib lawyer she always thought he was. And maybe the house isn't the only thing that needs a little TLC.

Favorite from this author

I really liked the Best Man. But this story was very endearing and a good story/romance. I enjoyed it/liked it better. Thanks!

Somebody to love

I liked it. A few twists. It is neat, listening to some of the characters from her other books. You always wonder whatever happened with that person. I enjoyed it and recommend it. I also did speed up the volume a tad. Who could not like a happy ending.

Heartwarming story

Definitely the best of the series. The main characters were relatable and layered. Enjoyed the reappearance of previous characters from the series. As Book 2 did not have an epilogue, reading this was a must and well worth it.

Don't judge a book by its narrator

This is my favorite Higgins book. If you've never read a Higgins novel, this is a great one to start with, but ugh the narrator is the worst. Please don't judge this book by the reader it's miles better.

Totally Enjoyable!

I’ve always enjoyed Kristan Higgins, and Justine Eyre absolutely brought this story to life with her fabulous narration. This was one of those stories that you love every character and want to live in the small town with them. This book is a keeper and maybe even one I might reread. I absolutely loved it.

Big mistake to substitute Xe Sands as narrator

Somebody to Love is a good enough story, but, changing the narrator from Xe Sands to Justine Eyre was just confusing and a big mistake.
Ma Eyre made characters we loved in the two earlier Gideon’s Cove Books sound grumpy and not at all like the charming characters with Down East Maine accents brought to life by Xe Sands.

Good story but…

I struggled to like the leading lady Parker. It is always difficult to embrace a story when you don’t like the main character(s). I love Kristen Higgins story telling style though!
