Description

He's everything I never wanted...

When people ask me what I love about living in the Pacific Northwest, that's easy. Nothing.

But the mountain of debt my ex saddled me with means I'm not going anywhere. So I started a food blog thinking it'd be my ticket out of here. Wrong.

Just when I think things couldn't get any worse, my roommate drags me to a singles event where she hopes to meet Mr. Right. I meet Mr. Wrong, Dustin Kelley, a diehard Pacific Northwesterner. We couldn't be more different if we tried.

But when I learn he runs a successful hiking blog, I get an idea. We can collaborate. The plan? He gets five tries to make me fall in love with this region while I create recipes and food for our trips.

Turns out, Dustin is the sweetest guy I've ever met and he quickly becomes my ray of sunshine in this otherwise gloomy place. But falling in love was never part of the plan, so when my blog finally takes off giving me enough money to move, I'm left with a tough choice—stay or go?

    The book was really good and it was emotional in some aspects. I like that they both had past hurt that ended up being what helped their relationship be better than their last.
  • Great story and facts about Seattle

    Nice story line but also is a unique tour guide about Seattle. Makes you want to go and visit there. So much to see. Def worth a read and a trip!
  • Enjoyable Read

    I have been very lucky to visit the PNW area and experience so many of the sights that are visited in the book. It’s exactly like I remember! I found the characters very likable and once I got into the book I couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to read the next one and see what happens to Fern.
  • Don’t bother.

    Couldn’t finish. Banal in every sense of the word. The story is bland, there’s no interesting plot, the writing is frankly meh. A sixth grader could’ve written this.

    New author for me. Decent story, no foul language, and no descriptive sex. I liked the characters, the story kept my interest , except the author left me hanging concerning her co worker and her boss. I felt she left that hanging without explaining the result.
  • Amazing

    This book had me on the edge of my seat crying laughing and falling in love with the characters and I love how the author illustrates everything she does a wonderful job at describing all the landscapes and joy that the characters feel.

    This beautifully written story kept me from getting anything done. I loved everything about it and was sad when it was over. If you like anything romance you will enjoy this book.

    It was funny first then turn into a beautiful story of very strong woman in a bad situation. She opened her heart to better and the story was a comeback story of love and starting over. I loved the book and did catch myself waking up in the middle of the night to read because the book is written so well you never want to put it down! Well done from the first page.
