Hi everyone! I can’t believe it’s already May! April was a great book month for me! This month, I read 5 books; two were books I borrowed from the library, one was on my spring TBR list, and three of them were romance books! I thoroughly enjoyed every book I read this month, but I’m only going to review two of the books! I hope you enjoy my April Mini Review!
Synopsis: “Two years have passed since the events that no one wants to think about. Everyone has tried to move on, but there’s something about this place that prevents it. The residents continue to grapple with life’s big questions: What is a family? What is a community? And what, if anything, are we willing to sacrifice in order to protect them? As the locals of Beartown struggle to overcome the past, great change is on the horizon. Someone is coming home after a long time away. Someone will be laid to rest. Someone will fall in love, someone will try to fix their marriage, and someone will do anything to save their children. Someone will submit to hate, someone will fight, and someone will grab a gun and walk towards the ice rink. So what are the residents of Beartown willing to sacrifice for their home?” (goodreads.com)
This is the last book of the Beartown series. It was everything. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to move on from this town and these characters. This book has a lot going on, so it did take me a little bit to get into it and follow along, but damn, Fredrik Backman is a phenomenal storyteller. I had a feeling I knew how it was going to end, but then when it actually happened, I couldn’t stop crying. As I read the last page I was bawling my eyes out. I think a part of me will always think about these books, there is just something about them! I highly highly recommend this series!!

Synopsis: “She’s been driving him wild for years . . . the good kind of wild. The kind of wild that comes with wanting your best friend’s little sister and knowing you can’t have her. Forbes may have labeled Ford Grant the World’s Hottest Billionaire, but all he cares about is escaping the press and opening a recording studio in gorgeous small town Rose Hill. Something that comes to a screeching halt when he ends up face-to-face with a young girl who claims he’s her biological father. Now, he spends his days balancing business with parenting a sullen twelve-year-old, all while trying desperately to keep his hands the hell off his best friend’s sister, Rosie Belmont. After living in the city, Rosie came blasting back into town like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic. And one wide-eyed, desperate plea for a job is all it takes for Ford to hire her. He vows to keep her at arm’s length. Tries to stick to scowls and grumpy one-liners. But with her, verbal sparring is a type of foreplay―friction that soon turns to blistering heat. Ford knows damn well he shouldn’t cross this line. But shouldn’t and can’t are two very different things. And the only thing he truly can’t do is resist her.” (goodreads.com)
OMG this book!! Elsie Silver does romance so well! It had me blushing soooo many times! This is quite a spicy read, so just be warned. 😉 I loved the storyline and the fact there was a character from the Chestnut Springs series. If you’re looking for a brother’s best friend romance, where he falls first, all set in a small town, this is the book for you!
