Summer won't last forever.


Sage Byrd has lived in the coastal town of Spunes, Oregon (not to be confused with Forks, Washington) her entire life. She's learned to love her small world, with the misfit animals on her hobby farm, and her friendships with the town’s inhabitants. But when her 5-year relationship ends and her ex, town-golden-boy Ian, suddenly gets engaged, Sage needs a win―something that will convince everyone to stop pitying her all the time, and to put Ian in his place. The Festival of Spunes, the town’s annual summer competition, would be the perfect opportunity. She just needs a partner.


Fisher Lange was a hotshot chef in New York City until the loss of his sister left him numb, grieving, and responsible for his teenage niece Indy. When Fisher loses his Michelin star along with his love of cooking, his boss sends him and Indy to Spunes on a much-needed summer sabbatical to consult on a restaurant opening. But when clashes with the townspeople threaten his last chance to redeem himself and a kiss with his new neighbor Sage leads to dating rumors, a strategic alliance might just be the best way to turn things around.


A deal is struck. Sage will improve Fisher’s image in the eyes of the town and remove the roadblocks he is facing with the restaurant, and Fisher will be Sage’s partner for the competition. But as their pact quickly turns into steamy rendezvous, emotional wounds begin to heal, and the pair tries to savor every moment, they start to realize that summer is racing by much faster than they would like...

This was a fun romance read! The beginning I’ll admit was a bit rough, we’re thrown right into things and I struggled a little bit as I was piecing things together, figuring out what was going on, the who, the what, and where. But once I got my groundings, it was smooth sailing from there!


And it was such an entertaining read! With a few LOL moments especially following our male MC, Fisher. Who I easily envisioned as a husky pirate, more specifically as the one we meet in the series, Once Upon a Time, Captain Hook! So if you enjoy pirates, he’s definitely swoon worthy! And oh so sweet! I adored how he cared for Sage from the beginning.


The premise is also very quirky and cute! We’re introduced to the fictional town of Spunes, Oregon, not to be confused with Forks, Washington. That alone should set the tone for you! A cutesy small town romance. And then throw in some fake dating, and I think it’s clear where its going.


But despite being a bit on the predictable side, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I found it cute and sweet and love the heat between our MCs! And things do get HAWT! 


If you enjoy small town romances definitely consider picking this one up!
