I normally love Melissa fosters books, this one was hard to finish. Ended up skipping most of it.

So good! Loved this story

Thank you for such a spellbinding story! I enjoyed every page.

Tragedy and guilt, fairy tales and erotic romance, this book takes you to many different corners. It’s intriguing and heartwarming!

Wow! Great story great ending! I can smile all day now. Best I’ve read in a long time and I read a lot. Thank you!

Love enables a man to open his heart and heals pain that has isolated him from his family and others. Interesting take on second chances and the difficulty of taking advantage of them.

Great read

Didn’t want it to end

Melissa Foster is an author that just knows how to write a fantastic freaking story! When I firs started reading Beau and Charlotte’s story, I wasn’t quite sure how I would end up liking the story. Charlotte was so out there and just all over the place. But that was what I loved most about her! Beau was also a great match for her. He has also had a rough past full of loss, and has walls built up around his heart. He needed someone strong willed, stubborn, and quirky like Charlotte to wake him up. This story was just so well done and really warmed my heart up again. A perfect escape at the perfect time for me! 100% recommend! **Edited to add Audible review** Somehow, Ava and Zachary did a seamless job of bringing these two characters to life! I love when there are dual narrators, so that there is separation between the two. It allows each person to bring their character to life in their own way, instead of just having the man or woman narrate on their own. This story is a great one, as both characters are struggling with their own personal issues, but need each other in the end to help them heal and move forward. Charlotte has a ton of spunk and isn't afraid to be "different" or stand her ground in any way. That's such a great fit for Beau who is use to people relying on him for everything. Charlotte compliments him so well. Loved this book and being able to revisit it through the audio book was so fun!

I recently had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook of this story. Ava Erickson and Zachary Webber narrated the story and did a good job with the dual narration. It seemed more natural to me and brought the story to life. My original review follows: When I began reading this story! I thought Charlotte was a total whack-Job. I mean, who acts out the scenes in the book she’s writing (she writes erotica), and with blow-up dolls yet! As it turns out, she is a bit of unit, but a sweet one. She’s whimsical. Beau, on the other hand, is closed off, heartbroken, and full of guilt over something that happened a decade ago. His family is worried about him, so he accepts a job at the inn that Charlotte owns to escape their well-meaning concerns. Boy meets girl, girl meets boy, sparks fly, and bam, they’re in lust/love. This book is full of heat. Lots of heat. It’s also funny. From Twix bars to Snow White’s cabin, horseback rides and the Chickendales, this one will keep you turning the pages!
