In Mapleton, love takes a village …

Julia Derks loves the small town of Mapleton where she grew up and launched her business, On Deck Café. What Julia doesn’t love is change. So when a smooth-talking stranger arrives with plans to develop the site of Mapleton’s cherished, shuttered paper mill, she doesn’t even try to hide her contempt. First impressions aren’t everything, though …

Samson Baker has never put down roots. He charms people wherever his development firm sends him, and he’s dealt with his share of pushback from communities unable to recognize the value of growth and change. Mapleton is no different. There’s just one problem, and her name is Julia.

As Samson and Julia’s worlds collide, sparks as bright as Mapleton’s Fourth of July Festival fireworks fly—until a damaging secret threatens both their brewing relationship and their livelihoods. With everything they’ve worked for on the line, can Julia and Samson reconcile their differences, save the café, and have a shot at happily ever after?

Good vibes. It’s so refreshing to listen to a healthy love in a small town story without steamy sex scenes.

Happy

if you watch the Hallmark movies you will love this book. it is sweet, small town, extremely wholesome and clean. Unfortunately, because it follows the same blueprint of a Hallmark story it was extremely predictable. That made it a touch boring. Still, I read it at Christmas time, it was a fun mindless distraction. The narration was fantastic, both readers! 👏 👌

Hallmark Carbon copy, but good

I like starting a new series where you feel like you know where in town. I also really liked Samson and Julia and want to visit her cafe.

Story and characters

There were enough twists to keep you engaged. Some good suspense and great written pictures with enough detail to envision the scene but not tedious

Nice plot, good clean romance

The narration was just ok, a bit juvenile on part of female character’s narration making the book a bit bland.

couldn’t finish as book never caught my interest
