Book Description
When Shay Zucconi’s step-grandmother died, she left Shay a tulip farm—under two conditions.
First, Shay has to move home to the small town of Friendship, Rhode Island. Second—and most problematic since her fiancé just called off the wedding—Shay must be married within one year.
Marriage is the last thing in the world Shay wants but she’ll do anything to save the only real home she’s ever known.
Noah Barden loved Shay Zucconi back in high school. Not that he ever told her. He was too shy, too awkward, too painfully uncool to ask out the beautiful, popular girl.
A lifetime later, Noah is a single dad to his niece and has his hands full running the family business. That old crush is the farthest thing from his mind.
Until Shay returns to their hometown.
My Summary
Such a cute, romantic story surrounding Shay and Noah! In this book someone is left at the altar but is saved from having to endure endless embarrassment by an aunt who has died. Shay's step-grandmom left her everything, with a catch. And what a catch Noah is! I seriously think her grandma always knew that Noah and Shay were meant for each other. And what Noah does to Shay's ex! So WORTH IT! The ex, who shall not be named is definitely the character is disliked the most! My absolutely favorite character is Gennie, Noah's niece. Gennie has had a heck of a start and is managing and surviving as best she can. She has quite the imagination and potty mouth, and that most definitely makes her more endearing to me!
Now back to Shay and Noah. They are so adorable. And Noah absolutely adores and worships Shay. They are cute and loving and some of those scenes of them together are super caliente!
