Thoughts:
To start with we have Lily who is a down on her luck book shop owner in small town USA (Tennessee), her book shop is floundering due to lack of customers and bills are backing up... to top things off her own family (meddling sister) keeps harrassing her to talk to her ex-husband who has clearly moved on since he is now married to his mistress and they have a baby together.
Picking up some supplies from the store she ends up running into a man...seriously he is in the road and she hits him with her car worried he might have a concussion she brings him to her bookshop (she lives above the store in an apartment) and with 911 services unable to come out due to the storm she is now stuck with this stranger... lets hope he isn't an escaped convict!
Thorne is a handsome & charming Fae Prince who has recently been banished from his home world by his mother while he's on earth he has plans to find his brother but instead finds himself getting cozy in Lily's bookshop and doesn't seem to be able to stay away from her... there are rules but some rules are meant to be broken.
Check your trigger warnings as this story weaves in our FMC's experiences with infertility, a cheating husband and loss of a child.
I loved how attentive and kind Thorne was he was just what Lily needed to help her see that she was beautiful and worthy of love. I found myself really irritated with Lily's sister and her ex for continuing to just "pop" back into her life randomly... you lost that right when you did Lily dirty get lost!
I enjoyed this story overall it was a sweet and cozy read but felt I would have loved it more as a longer story giving more time for a natural progression of the story there were parts that felt more rushed and instalove.
The Narrators did an excellent job bringing these characters to life and I also loved Lily's bestie... everyone needs a friend like her who would go to the unknown with you to get your man back if necessary!
Thank you to Dark Star Romance and the author for this ALC I truly enjoyed it!
Have you read this one? What did you think?
