Loving You by Samantha Chase is now live!
He was never planning on staying in Sweetbriar Ridge.
Then the perfect woman fell into his arms.
Not everyone in Sweetbriar Ridge is as sweet as the town name would suggest. But single mom Jade Mackenzie is up to the challenge of winning over the town if that's what it takes to make her new shop a success. After all, this is just the latest in a long string of battles she's had to face. Since she's given up on men-all of them except for her son-she can throw all her energy into the new business. Or so she thought until the most charming and too-good-looking-for-his-own-good man walked into her shop. And she literally falls into his arms.
Levi Donovan knows how to charm his way through life; winning people over is just what he does. But no amount of charm can save him when he's at the center of a scandal that costs him his position at a prestigious ad agency. With no other choice, he's forced to return home to Sweetbriar Ridge, the small town he left behind the first chance he got. When he meets the owner of the new coffeehouse, he starts to think that small towns aren't so bad. And when he finds out Jade needs a little help promoting her new business, Levi makes it his mission to help her make the shop a success. That's just what a good friend does.
No matter how hard she tries to resist, Jade can't help but be swept away by Levi's good looks and the sweet way he interacts with her son. But Levi isn't staying, and getting attached would be a mistake. Levi always swore he would never settle in Sweetbriar Ridge, but could loving Jade be reason enough to stay?
*Each book in the Donovans series can be read as a standalone*
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:
Single mom Jade MacKenzie faced many challenges opening up Books & Beans, her bookstore and coffee shop, in the small town of Sweetbriar Ridge. Her town nemesis wanted her to fail and did all she could to hurt Jade’s business. She needed more ways to promote her business and Levi is just the person she needs. Levi Donovan lost his job at the prestigious ad agency he worked at. He had left Sweetbriar Ridge at the first opportunity and hadn’t returned. Now he has no potential job offers and has no choice but to return to his small hometown. Accepting help from his family is the last thing he wants but it was his best option. Can falling in love with Jade help change his perspective of small towns? Returning home might not have been what Levi wanted but it provided him with the chance to reunite with his siblings and family. He finally realizes how important family is and that leaning on them for help is sometimes necessary. His scandal might have diminished his potential job opportunities in the city but with a little help, he finds his way. Loving You is the first book in The Donovans: Sweetbriar Ridge series. I loved The Donovans: Laurel Bay series so I could not wait for this branch of the Donovans to get their story. This was the perfect book to start the series off with. The characters had depth and were charming. The transition between scenes was smooth and the book was easy to read. I love small-town romances and this book hit the mark. It had all the small-town drama and warmth of large families. I loved this book, and I cannot wait for the next book in the series. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
