Louisa’s 4.5 Blush Review
I have always said “you can’t go wrong with a Vi & Penelope book” and once again they gave me exactly what I needed. I have been in a bit of a romance book funk lately. I had not been absolutely blown away with a book for a while and this book just blew me out of the funk!
Presley and her son Alex return to Presley’s hometown to run an Inn that was owned by Alex’s father’s grandfather. Alex’s father isn’t the greatest Dad but his grandfather wanted to leave a legacy for Alex. There is only one little thing that could make Presley’s plan not work. Her plan? Redo the Inn and run it.
Problem #1… Levi Miller. The brother of Presley’s ex and uncle to Alex. He’s been left half of the Inn and he’s ready to sell and move on…go back to his life of being a professional football player. But once he’s there…living with Presley, spending time with Alex – things change. But how in the world can Levi be with his brother’s ex?
While reading I kept thinking, how in the world is this every going to work…the angst was high and I just kept reading because I knew that Vi & Penelope had a plan.
BLURB
It all started with a bet.
When my young son inherited half of his great grandfather’s historic inn, I decided to move us both to the place where I grew up.
Notice I said half of the Inn. The other half now belonged to Levi Miller, the famous quarterback who had other ideas about what we should do with the property.
We won’t mention that I accidentally injured him during our first meeting, causing him to get eight stitches.
You could say we got off on the wrong foot.
We bickered a lot as we both moved into the property while we figured things out.
He wanted to unload the rundown place which, admittedly, needed a lot of work.
I wanted to restore The Palm Inn to its original beauty and re-open it as a bed and breakfast.
We couldn’t agree on anything. So Levi made me a proposal. One he thought I would surely lose. If I could sell out the place by the time he had to leave for training at the end of summer, he would back off and let me run it.
But in the weeks that followed, we got more than we bargained for while we were living under the same roof.
Levi and I got closer, and before I knew it, my nightly fantasies about the brawny Adonis became a reality. Not to mention, he was so great with my son.
We were in over our heads in more ways than one.
Because not only was he the last man on Earth I should be falling for because of our deal, but Levi was also my ex’s older brother.
And now the inn was the least of my problems.
