An infusion of
romance is in the mix in the lush and charming town of Mill Pond,
Indiana, where anything-and everything-can happen. As a
schoolteacher, Miriam is used to being the one in charge. A born leader
with a whip-smart sensibility and a pair of legs that can't be beat, she
is adored by many but has never found her one true love. For the most
part, that's fine: she has a fulfilling career, a big-hearted family,
and a great social life with her best friend Daphne and her better half,
Chef Tyne. But when a micro-brewery owner comes to Mill Pond in search
of a new beginning, Miriam can't help but wonder whether fate has
something else in store for her. . .
Joel is a single father whose divorce left him bruised, bitter, and solely focused on running his business. He doesn't have time to go out on dates, much less begin a new relationship. But when he meets Miriam, he's offered a glimpse into a life he never thought possible. Her warmth and wit are an alluring combination-and she hits it off with his daughter, too. Soon Joel finds himself fantasizing about spending a lifetime of "happy hours" with Miriam. But are each of these strong-willed singletons willing to give up their independence and give love a chance? All it takes is just one kiss to find out . .

Terri's Thoughts
I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! It will be released later this month.
This is the fourth story in a series. I somehow missed the first and the third while reading the second. That's ok, it is not required to read the other stories to enjoy this one. While it would provide a little bit of background on the secondary characters, they are not the focus in this story so it does not impact.
What I liked about this story is that the characters were average looking. They were not portrayed as the epitome of beauty as some of the previous characters in the last book I read. This made them more relatable to the average "Joe" and could be appealing to those who get sick of people being portrayed as perfection.
While there are no real surprises found within the pages of this story, it was an entertaining read. It was relatively "clean" for this genre although there is sexy time to be found within it. For those who don't need the graphic details in their reads, this may be a good choice.
Altogether a good read.
