Synopsis
Lucy Rhodes finished the school year as a kindergarten teacher and she’s excited to get started on her decade-long summer tradition of running the Sweet River Summer Festival. A tradition started by her grandmother, but for the past few years Lucy has carried it on herself in honor of that beloved memory.
But, this summer, the new city manager Adam, throws a major wrench in Lucy’s tradition and seems set on ruining her perfectly set plans.
After a meet-disaster, and the drawing up of an extensive contract, Adam and Lucy decide to work together on the festival. Even if it might drive her crazy.
While working together they realize the Texas summer isn’t the only thing heating up. Adam’s looking for a place, or a person, to call home. And Lucy’s big heart has room to spare.
My Thoughts
I’ve been reading a lot of darker stuff and Rebecca Jo Jackson’s latest book ‘Lucy Loves Him Not’ was a great read to cleanse the reading plate. This book is a Rom-Com and I have to say it was great having the typical Rom-Com play out and not having the third act break up.
If you were looking for a Rom-Com with spice this is not your book. This is the typical PG-13 Rom-Com but there is no denying the chemistry between Lucy and Adam right from the start. I mean it is so obvious everyone around them mentions it more than once and can see it from a mile away.
The writing was done very well, and I could picture the whole story. While I enjoyed the book and the story, I am giving it a 3 ½ stars. I did enjoy it after all of the heavier stories I was reading but something about it felt like it was missing. I enjoyed all the characters as well. As this is the second book in the series I will be reading the first book as well. And if you have not read the first book do not worry, this book can easily be a standalone.
‘Lucy Loves Him Not’ was just released and if you are a Kindle Unlimited member it is included in your membership.
**I would like to thank Rebecca Jo Jackson for the ARC copy of this book. Getting the ARC Copy did not influence my thoughts on the book as they are all my own.**
