This is a series from Lauren Blakely that I haven't read before, but had no problem meeting Nate and Hunter and becoming invested in them as individuals and as a couple.
Both Nate and Hunter are interesting characters and we have several classic tropes going here. There is the professional athlete/normal professional, slightly older/wealthier vs "average", wounded by previous relationship, oopsie marriage of convienience.
With all of this going in, it could easily be too much, especially when you pull in a fairly large tangental cast. Ms Blakely balances everything well and blends a story that is entertaining, has a slight agnst, and characters that we root for to figure it out.
My only real complaint..... Nate and Hunter are just too ..... good. They aren't perfect and they occassionally mess up, but not really. Even when they are frustrated or have misunderstandings, they seem to resolve them quickly and with minimal fuss. It make for a sweet read, but makes it harder to imagine them as real people.
Overall, this was fun to read and I am curious about some of the other characters we see in the series.

Ms Foster brings us back to Cemetery, IN in this sequential addition to the series. This time we get to spend time with Emily and Saul (previous secondary characters) as well as meeting new characters.
This is a sweet book that has feel good themes woven throughout. Of the characters we spend the most time with, Emily evolves the most. It’s not that she really needed the change, she just needed someone to take the blinders off to really see the world around her.
In the well-written story, Ms Foster shows us different types of love. That of friends, family, and community in addition to budding romantic relationships. We also see the power a good friend can have in opening up a wounded heart.
The Little Flower Shop is a “perfect” feel-good read and I am curious to see if we get to know Cemetery better in the future.
