Book Four in the Pine Valley series . . .
My rating:5 stars / It was amazing
Synopsis
Gwen Robbins loves her
job waitressing at the Pine Valley resort restaurant, and as a single
woman, she has no trouble turning down any offers of dates from the
restaurant patrons. Even when her boss, Seth Owens, shows interest in
her, she’s not tempted in the least, no matter how strong their
attraction.
But when Seth helps her through a crisis, she begins to see him in a different light. He’s not the rich and privileged business owner she first makes him out to be, but a man who’s making huge sacrifices to follow his own dreams. As Seth encourages Gwen to mend her own divide with her family, she realizes her heart is slowly opening toward a better future.
My Review
I'm with Gwen- not a fan of the spoiled frat boy type. Thankfully, she's wrong about Seth and gracefully acknowledges her mistake when she realizes that he's sacrificing to make his own way and is generous and compassionate. It was entertaining watching him prove her wrong with incredible patience. They had great chemistry that was fun as well as passionate and I enjoyed their playful moments, especially in the kitchen ;) They each have issues with their parents, and it was interesting to see how they encouraged each other to make amends and develop a stronger relationship with them... even if it came with sacrifice. I love contemporary romance with depth in the characters and themes, and this one fits the bill!
