About the book:
Blake Hunziker has played nomad for five years and landed in his fair share of trouble too. But now he’s finally returning to his hometown–the Lake Michigan tourist town of Whisper Shore. Counting on a not-so-warm welcome, he’s surprised at not only a positive reception but also a job offer. Determined to settle down and prove himself responsible, he agrees to the catch that comes with the job offer–coordinating the annual Christmas festival–even though he has no idea how he’ll pull it off.
Autumn Kingsley, inn owner and experienced organizer of the Christmas festival, has always dreamed of traveling the world. Now she has a job opportunity in Paris and a surprise potential investor coming to town who just might take on her family’s inn and finally leave her free to go. The only problem is that she has just two weeks to whip the inn into shape.
Their families have a long history of not getting along, but when Blake comes to Autumn for help with the festival, she actually agrees…in exchange for his help with the repairs to her inn. They may have struck a simple deal, but complications are quick to pile on when the guy who’s had enough of running away and the woman who can’t wait to leave join forces.

My Review:
This book takes place during the Christmas season and I loved how Christmas was throughout the book. This was interesting because Blake comes back home, only after he gets a new job. Autumn and Blake have a history, and as tragedy strikes they realize that they need each other's friendship. I met Blake in the author's first book, Made to Last, and I am so glad that I got to catch up with him. It was no surprise when Autumn reacted the way she did when Blake returned. Her character went through a lot of emotions in this story, and I like how the end of the book took care of her. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review from The Book Club Network Inc,. However all opinions are my own.
