Lincoln and Eden.
Small town romance.
Excellent secondary characters and loads of breadcrumbs dropped for future books in series. Lots of potential.
Lincoln is popular with the ladies, one of the reasons he doesn't want to get involved with Eden is he likes his variety.
Eden notices him at a party, he doesn't really seem to notice her, they don't interact, then he leaves with another woman, who he was already with.
After her officially meets her, he is at his house with a different woman.
There are no intimate details of anyone other than the Hero and heroine but I know some readers have an issue with the Hero being with others after meeting the heroine.
It is mentioned several times by others and in his thoughts that he sleeps around prior to his relationship with the heroine.
He doesn't appear to be with any other women once he takes an interest in her.
Eden is very likeable, she has self confidence issues due to a very difficult family background.
It's not difficult to see what the issue will be, it's well written, fantastic banter between Eden and her friends and Lincoln and his mates.
I wasn't too keen on Lincoln, he seemed a bit shallow on his outlook of women, once she smartened up and he was thrown in her path, so he got to know her he saw her value.
He does come to his senses and there is big time grovelling.

4.4 stars
In typical fashion, this author has created the start of a wonderful new series. I loved every single one of the characters that she portrayed in this story and cannot wait to learn more about them. So many possibilities.

One of my favorite things about this author is that she can create a fictional world in a variety of settings. Everything from a team of radio talk show celebrities, to rock God's, to a small town city where apparently there is something in the water because all the men in Hope Valley are fine specimens of men.

I also love that this author creates real characters. I loved that the heroine struggled with body issues. As a woman who is her size in the book, I too have the same issues. I, like, Eden, never see myself how others see me. It was nice to see Lincoln and everyone else see what she struggled to see and that she was beautiful. Lincoln was the perfect gentleman and he was as good for her as she was for him. Loved Rocky too.

I cannot wait to read the next stories. Looking forward to them all. ( )
