Taking the high road is a whole lot easier with someone to love¿Attorney Desiree Contando can think of only one word to describe her very first home. Disaster. The vintage Queen Anne is beautiful-or will be, in about a thousand years. Certainly not in time to host the family Christmas gathering."Disaster" also describes the bad breakup that left her picket-fence vision in tatters. Even the carpenter she's hired is a reminder of lost dreams-the high school crush who never spared her a passing glance. But she's a grownup now, perfectly capable of keeping things professional.Keiran O'Malley is back in Roses, North Carolina, lugging his own shattered dreams of home and family. Until he's on his feet and ready to open his own Irish pub, serendipity finds him an attic apartment in Desiree's fixer upper in exchange for his remodeling skills.Roses is all polished up for the holidays, but nothing outshines the Cinderella beauty who owns the house. The spin of warmth between them is instantaneous¿but their broken hearts may not be strong enough to build happiness on, especially when the past shows up to demand its share.When two hearts get in a jam, it'll take more than whiskey cake to sweeten the deal.

This story, like the first, takes place in small town North Carolina. Attractive and very single attorney Desiree Contando has purchased an old Queen Anne home that needs much work to restore it to mint condition. Her brother-in-law has hired Keiran O’Malley, a former resident of Roses who is moving back following a break-up with his ex-girlfriend, to help with the project. He has excellent carpentry skills and needs a temporary place to live while making plans to reopen his family’s former Irish Pub, and there is space for him in Desiree’s home.
Real life emotions get in the way of their plans to maintain a professional relationship. They learn that they have much in common and feelings between the two grow well beyond that of two people working toward a common goal. When the former girlfriend appears in town to try and win Keiran back, he quickly realizes that he would be a fool to let Desiree go.
With the exception of the intentionally unlikeable girlfriend, the characters in this story are people I’d like to know. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and watching the romance unfold. This is a novella, so expect things to move more quickly than they would if you were reading a full-length novel.
Once again, I was able to request an advance copy from Ms. Riviera who generously provided me with one. I also purchase some of her books but love to get my hands on an early copy when I can since I enjoy them so much. Early access does not have any impact on my opinion of her work or require me to write a review. All opinions stated are my own. ( )
