Review

Copper County is such a lovable town - full of warmth and charm and nosiness. And Delaney and Brewer make great additions. The slightly reclusive contractor who puts his all into a project, and the journalist who is still figuring out his future.

It’s a lighthearted story that is full of passion (even when they are disagreeing) and lots of banter. Their communication could use some work, but they get there eventually, and along the way, there are some sweet and sometimes hilarious moments. And the thread that connected the two was very intriguing.

I really loved how the townsfolk played such pivotal roles in their personal growth. It was sweet and really highlighted how much everyone cares, even if they are up in your business 24-7!

Synopsis

When you burn down your contractor’s home… and kind of, accidentally invite him to move into yours.

First things first, that fire was a fluke. A tragic, completely unintentional byproduct of high emotions, an ill-timed backyard grilling… and one very shirtless man.

I only meant to confront Brewer—my maddeningly stoic contractor—about a few small concerns with the renovation of my historic money pit.

Instead, I got distracted by his muscles (who grills shirtless in February, I ask you?), I tripped over my words—and my feet—and… well, my carefully-ordered life went up in flames.

Suddenly, Brewer’s living in my attic, his dainty teacups are in my cabinet, his slobbery dog is all up in my business, and I find myself renovating my whole future just as surely as Brewer’s renovating my home.

Copper County was never my endgame. Once I finish writing my article, I’m off on my next assignment. But between late night conversations, sledgehammer therapy sessions, and solving the Jam Cupboard Mystery (it’s a real thing, I promise), I’m starting to think we’re building something neither of us expected.

Because the more I learn about Brewer, the more I realize I’m not the only misfit in Copper County. And that maybe it’s time I stop chasing other people’s truths… and start writing my own.
