Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This book 3.5 in the series – I think you can certainly enjoy it as a standalone, but once you have met the human and animal inhabitants of Hudson Valley, I am sure that you will be intrigued by their stories too.
Although this is a novella, it is a very satisfying read. Jonathan and Alyssa have worked together for the last couple of years and spend a lot of their time together. Both have been feeling much more than professional interest in each other, but the public nature of Jonathan's life would make even thinking about having a relationship dangerous. This set up means that they can jump over any concept of insta-love, rather it is admita-love... but is that enough, and is life in the public eye too much for the very reserved Alyssa.
Their weekend at the B&B with the rest of the "Stay" family is a wonderful oasis in the crazy of public life, and gives them and us a chance to see how they could be.
I loved the mixture of politics and country, of family and public responsibilities, but most of all, I loved that the interactions between Jonathan and the very well read Alyssa. I am very much looking forward to Chloe's story.
Avid Reader – ☆☆☆☆
M/F Romance
This is a novella and is very much a part of a series. And while you don't necessarily need to read the other books to know what's happening in this one, I highly recommend reading them. They make this novella that much stronger.
Jonathan is the mayor of New York City. He loves what he does and really wants to make his city a better place. He has been widowed for five years and in that time, he's tried to bury his grief in his work. He also had to re-work his relationship with Chloe, who we met in a previous book. Now that he has a handle on his job and his home life, he knows that he wants something more.
Alyssa is amazing at her job. She can multitask and handle a crowd whenever she's called to do so. But she has always had a crush on her boss and over the years, it's only gotten stronger. Alyssa loves her job and doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize it. She'll just continue to push down her feelings and do her job.
After a benefit that left both Alyssa and Jonathan flustered, these two will have to decide if they can take the leap and allow their mutual attraction to blossom. Jonathan knows what he wants. He wants Alyssa. But Alyssa will have to decide whether or not love is worth the risk. Can Chloe and Jonathan show Alyssa that it is? Or will she be destined to pine for Jonathan as she helps him with yet another campaign?
