BOOK SYNOPSIS:

If you build it, love will come…to Hope’s Crossing. Alexandra McKnight prefers a life of long workdays and short-term relationships, and she’s found it in Hope’s Crossing. A sous chef at the local ski resort, she’s just been offered to Hope’s Crossing. her dream job at an exclusive new restaurant being built in town. But when it comes to designing the kitchen, Alex finds herself getting up close and personal with construction foreman Sam Delgado….

At first glance, Sam seems perfect for Alex. He’s big, tough, gorgeous—and in town for only a few weeks. But when Sam suddenly moves into a house down the road, Alex suspects that the devoted single father of a six-year-old boy wants more from her than she’s willing to give. Now it’s up to Sam to help Alex see that, no matter what happened in her past, together they can build something more meaningful in Hope’s Crossing.

REVIEW:

This is a sweet romance about second chances. Having not read the first three in the series I will say there are a bunch of background characters that make it obvious that there are previous books in the series. Of course once you get to know them it does make it easier but there are a bunch so it does take a while.

I enjoyed Alex and Sam. There might have been a bit too much of the typical “I can’t be with him even though I love him” attitude going on but really it is so sweet that it makes it ok. Ethan is adorable even though having a seven year old I know there is no way in heck a seven year old talks the way his character is written no matter how “special” he is.

If you are looking for a sweet and simple romance to read then this is your book. There is a good storyline, it is written well and the characters worm their way into your heart.
