Publisher's summary

When Gwen Fletcher moves to Misty Harbor, Maine to fulfill her dream of opening her own restaurant, she isn't prepared for the throng of suitors who want to pay homage to the town's only bachelorette. Much to the dismay of the town's gentlemen, Gwen has only two things on her mind - getting her restaurant open before the tourist season begins and getting to know carpenter Daniel Creighton. But the uncooperative Creighton's odd behavior may preclude her from doing either of these.

Great story

I really liked this book. The romance between Gwen and Danniel is very well written. The narrator is excellent. I liked this so much that I clicked on the authors name to see if she and the narrator had any other books...they did. I'll be listening to Blueberry Hill next.

carefree choice

Not the best book ever but I definitely liked it, it was just what I needed. I simply wanted to listen to a book that was carefree and this was a great pick. Made me smile, I enjoyed the reader, and sure it was fairly predictable but most romance novels are. All in all I liked this book a lot; it was great for my morning walks.

Amazing

Loved it! Wish more of her books were available! That's all I have to say however audible has a 15 word minimum... This should get me to that amount and some...

Boring

I valiantly tried to give this book a chance, but it is soooo hum drum. There's no conflict, no suspense - I mean -- none! I'm about 2 hours into it and I don't plan on finishing it. Maybe if the reader had a little more inflection in her voice -- but she's pretty hum drum, too. Why did I give it two stars instead of one? Well, it's not ... awful. What a waste of a credit.

Okay. I didn't get it.

First off. Why the same name for two different authors? I thought I was buying the one by Kristan Higgins, which I went back and did order. I didn't bother listening to this one. I couldn't get past the first hour of it.

Marvelous!

This book is really good! It has nice plot, and the characters are funny and endearing. It's true, there is not a lot of controversy in the storyline, but sometimes you just want a nice, relaxing read. This fit the bill in spades! I will definitely be looking for more form this author.

Credit Worthy

This tale kept my interest throughout. I had to lol at all the bachelor men who came a courting when the men discover there is a new lady in town and that she can cook. There were a couple of sad parts, Daniels story especially. However, true love won out. This is one that I will be reading/listening to again.
Johanna Parker did a great job reading this story, I only realized near the end that she was the narrator for the Sookie Stackhouse novels. LOL, must have been Eric's voice that tipped me off.

Good story

I think this author got into my dreams from some years ago. Always wanted to run a place like this...
I think this story is a few years old. It is written in the style of some years ago. VietNam Vet instead of Iraq or Afganistan. The romance was really sweet, sexy too.
The narrator was very professional, her delivery was good.
