Finn Hebert. Viking lumberjack. Pilot. Single dad. And my sworn enemy.
Not only is his father responsible for the demise of mine, but our families have been feuding for generations. Too bad I’m about to add a new member to both in nine months.
Because, as it turns out, I don’t hate him nearly enough. He loves my smart mouth and short fuse, and he thinks I look beautiful in oil-stained coveralls. It was supposed to be one storm-trapped night only. But one taste of forbidden fruit is never enough. Soon, we’re sneaking around, keeping our relationship a secret.
Our families may never coexist peacefully, but there are others in this small town who may be the real enemies.
And we can’t keep this secret forever.
My Review
Adele is typically single, kinda feisty, and I love her sassy attitude. The prologue starts with a short recap of her last love life issues and, of course, an introduction to Finn. Finn is a hot lumberjack, a single father, and from the wrong family with a feud in the small town of Lovewell, Maine. Oh, that kiss was scorching, and the chemistry between Finn and Adele is like hot sauce.
Then we jump to the present day, and things are hot, temperamental, and downright bothersome as they both work through their issues in the same shop. Finn has sides of him that come alive for Adele, and she also has some problems to work through. I love the axe-throwing competition and the small-town life. The story moves along with these enemies sharing space and chemistry. The chemistry finally ignites, and it is rustic and steaming hot.
Adele is a super strong, feminine, stubborn woman who cares too much about the town gossip and other people’s opinions. Finn is dealing with his own issues and is a little more sensitive than I expected this bad-boy veteran to be. Oh, add in accidental pregnancy to this developing secret relationship, and I’m afraid this small-town romance won’t be so secret anymore.
This book gets action-packed as some of the suspense gets laid to rest, but then we get the heartwarming happy-for-now ending, and their lives will make you smile.
Overall, this was a sweet read with a doting book boyfriend, a strong female MC, and the enemies-to-lovers storyline. I enjoyed Adele and Finn’s story.
