(Echo Springs, #1)

Publisbed by: Blushing Books Publications

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Abby Callier is more in love with Shakespearean heroes than any real man, and she’s beginning to wonder if there is life for her outside the pages of a book. It doesn’t help that her esteemed parents tend to view her as they would one of their science experiments gone wrong. On the eve of finishing her dissertation, she escapes her staid existence to live in the house she inherited from her Great Aunt Evie in the small town of Echo Springs, Colorado. Because, let’s face it, when a woman starts comparing her life to horror films, it might be time for a break.

Sheriff Nate Barnes believes in law and order and carefully building the life you want. In his spare time, he has been remodeling his house in the hope that one day it will be filled with the family he makes. But Nate doesn’t like drama or complications and tends to avoid them at all costs. And yet, when Miss Abigail Callier, his newest neighbor, beans him with a nine iron, he can’t help but wonder if she might just be the complication he’s been searching for all along. It doesn’t hurt that he discovers a journal hidden away by the previous tenant and decides to use Old Man Turner’s advice to romance Abby into his life.

Abby never expected her next-door neighbor, the newly dubbed Sheriff Stud Muffin, to be just the distraction her world needed.

The problem is she doesn’t know whether she should make Echo Springs her home, or if this town is just a stopover point in her life’s trajectory. And she doesn’t want to tell Nate that she might not be sticking around—even though she should because it’s the right thing to do, the honest thing—because then all the scintillatingly hot kisses with the Sheriff will come to an abrupt halt. Did she mention that he’s a really great kisser?

Abby isnt like her parents and with so much going on in her life, its clear that she needs a bit of a break. She ends up fixing up a house she inherited from a family member and will eventually have to go back to her life. Until then she'll enjoy her time with her neighbor Sheriff Nate. Nate is remodeling his house to fit the future he wants which includes having a family. When he finds an old journal he seems to be taking romance advice on when it comes to dating Abby. Abby will have to leave eventually and decisions need to be made.

This book was pretty entertaining. From the moment he book starts you can tell this book will be a hit. I really loved Abby's quirkiness. I couldn't help but laugh to myself a couple of times the way that she thought. I mean the doll thing? Then there was the fact that she was a horror fan like I am. I just saw a few of her traits that I found like myself. I loved seeing the romance between the two and how the book progressed. There was the was leading question of how would things work out once shes done doing what she set out to do while she fixes up her late family members place. Overall this was a pretty good book, I really enjoyed it.
