About the book:
As the oldest of the ten Abbott siblings, Hunter prides himself on his ability to solve other people’s problems, but now he has a problem of his own—how to convince the woman of his dreams that his love is for keeps.
As the chief financial officer, Hunter Abbott manages the family’s various business interests while “fixing” things for the people he loves. But the one thing he can’t fix is his undeniable attraction to Megan Kane. Instead, Hunter is prepared to do whatever it takes to show Megan that he’s the man for her.
Megan’s sister rocks her with the news that she and her husband are moving overseas, leaving Megan truly alone. With her sister—and her job at the diner—going away, Megan finds herself leaning on the sexy, button-down accountant who isn’t afraid to lay it all on the line for her. But Megan has watched too many people she loves leave her. Can she risk her heart on Hunter?
Contains a bonus Green Mountain short story!
My
Thoughts:
Unrequited love is one of my favorite romances. Seeing that
desperate longing finally recognized and reciprocated brings joy to my
heart. This is why I’ve been excited for
Hunter and Megan’s romance, and it did not disappoint.
Hunter Abbott has been smitten with Megan for years, not
that she knows, because she only had eyes for his brother, Will. When he
catches Megan crying outside the family store, he finally gets a chance at
showing just how deeply he cares for her. When he finds out Nina, Megan’s
sister is moving and possibly closing the diner, Hunter resolves to do
everything in his power to work things out so that Megan will stay in
town. He’s determined to make the most of his chance to finally get the
girl he’s dreamed about for years.
Megan’s life is in an upheaval. After years of working at
her sister’s diner, she gets the shocking news that Nina is moving and selling
it. Also, she’s had to give up her long held crush on Will Abbott when he
fell hopelessly in love with Cameron. That hurt, but not quite as much as
she thought it would. Maybe she was more in love of the idea of Will than
actually being with him?
When Hunter swoops in and offers her a shoulder to cry on,
she can’t help but replay Will’s words to her “You’re focusing on the wrong Abbott brother”. Hunter is so sweet, helpful and intense
and for the first time she starts to see him in a new light.
I had my doubts about Megan when I heard that Hunter would
be paired with her. I love all the Abbotts and I wasn’t sure Megan was
good enough for him after the way she treated Cameron. When Megan
apologized in the last book, my feelings started to change for her, and I was
eager to see the softer side of Megan and find out what made her tick. I
was relieved to find a woman who cared about the town folk like they were her
own family members, and I felt sympathy for a woman who lost her parents in
tragedy at such a young age.
My heart went out to Hunter, the oldest of the Abbott
children, because he yearned for a woman who barely registered his existence
for so many years:
How exactly did you
tell a woman who barely knew you were alive that you thought about her
constantly? That seeing her upset killed you. That wanting her kept you awake
at night.
Through the previous books, I got to know Hunter on the
surface. He was devoted to his twin sister, Hannah, was there for her through
the grief that threatened to consume her when she lost her husband. He also
came off as a little stuffy and uptight. I was happily surprised to find Hunter
anything but stuffy, he was definitely bossy though, in the best possible way,
*wink* and all about taking control behind closed doors:
Gazing down at her,
he touched his lips to hers. “After tonight…You’re mine. You know that, don’t
you?”
“I wasn’t expecting
our resident mild-mannered accountant to be so alpha.”
Don’t let the pocket
protector fool you.”
Megan is a little overwhelmed by Hunter, and worried about
loving someone and losing them, like she did her parents, so it’s a gradual
process breaking her walls down. Hunter helped Megan realize that you have to
risk some hurt to let someone fully in, but the rewards are well worth it.
I was thrilled to see sweet, hot, and bossy Hunter finally
get the girl, and I was relieved Megan proved a worthy, loving woman for him!
Marie Force has created a place I dream to live in, not only
because of the quaintness of a small picturesque town, but because of the big
loving Abbott family. I look forward to
being immersed back into their world again with the next romance (possibly
Ella?). I’m getting to know all these
characters so well it feels a little like coming home with every new
installment.
