Off the Beaten Path by Madison Wright


Synopsis:

Wren Daniels is in over her head.

Between organizing a charity auction and trying to renovate a cabin she can’t afford, she’s barely keeping her head above water. The only bright spot is her new friend she met on an anonymous dating app four months ago. That is, until she discovers he’s the last person she would have expected—her grumpy neighbor who she’s never gotten along with.

Holden Blankenship likes his life just the way it is.

After his wife left him, he spent years putting his life back together. Now he’s got his daughter who is the light of his world, his family, and surprisingly, an anonymous friend. But when his anonymous friend turns out to be his neighbor who drives him crazy, he’s not sure what to make of it. Especially when her contractor backs out of her cabin renovation project and he finds himself offering to help her. Now Wren is getting under his skin in a completely different way and turning all his carefully laid plans upside down.

As Wren continues to show up for Holden and Holden keeps proving to Wren that he’s not really as standoffish as he seems, the lines between friendship and more start to blur.

Their relationship may have gotten off to an unusual start, but some of the best things in life are just a little off the beaten path.

My Review: 5 Stars!

Have you ever picked up a book and within a very short time of reading it, you just knew it was going to be one of your favorites? Well, that's what happened to me the moment I could imagine little June's high pitched giggles in my head and her telling Holden that he still has to put money in the swear jar even if he whispers it. Oh my heart! Y'all. That little munchkin stole my heart! 

Wren and Holden were equally amazing. I couldn't get enough of those two! The relationship these two had was fantastic! From enemies, to friends, to something more. I laughed, got teary eyed, let out all the little dreamy sighs, and turned into a big ol' pile of goo on several occasions. All I can say is sit down, buckle up, and hold on tight because the journey of Wren, Holden and little June will be one of the best ones you'll experience. I know I'll be enjoying that journey over and over and over again. Gah! I just loved it! 

I absolutely adored the small town of Fontana Ridge and everyone in it. From the meddling biddies, Myra and Melissa, to Wren's best friend Stevie, to Finley and Grey. They made the story even better. Have I told you yet how much I loved this book?!

Y'all. Ms. Wright did an phenomenal job sucking me and keeping me entertained from start to finish. One book in and I'm already invested in this series. I can't wait to get my hands on Finley and Grey's story. Thank goodness I don't have to wait long for it. September 27th can't get here soon enough! Hehe. 

As for my casting... y'all. I. Am. In. Love! What do you think?
