Memphis Ward arrives in Quincy, Montana, on the fifth worst day of her life. She needs a shower. She needs a snack. She needs some sanity. Because moving across the country with her newborn baby is by far the craziest thing she’s ever done.

But maybe it takes a little crazy to build a good life. If putting the past behind her requires a thousand miles and a new town, she’ll do it if it means a better future for her son. Even if it requires setting aside the glamour of her former life. Even if it requires working as a housekeeper at The Eloise Inn and living in an apartment above a garage.

It’s there, on the fifth worst day of her life, that she meets the handsomest man she’s ever laid eyes on. Knox Eden is a beautiful, sinful dream, a chef and her temporary landlord. With his sharp, stubbled jaw and tattooed arms, he’s raw and rugged and everything she’s never had—and never will. Because after the first worst day of her life, Memphis learned a good life requires giving up on her dreams too. And a man like Knox Eden will only ever be a dream.

So… If anyone could tell me where I can find a Knox for myself I’ll be on my way. Thanks The bearded Knox who told her to try harder when she was trying not to bother him too much. The tattooed Knox who grunted and barely talked in her presence. The big muscles Knox who looked at baby Drake with a pained expression. But also the sweet Knox who cooked mac n cheese from scratch for her and fed her daily. Yes, I want them all for myself. 🤓Buuut… I felt the relationship was rushed, it wouldn’t have

This book kept me on an emotional edge. I connected with Memphis to the point that I was in agony each time she faced a new challenge to her self confidence. She was carrying some pretty heavy weight on her shoulders and while Knox was willing to help lift it, I was cheering her onward to do what her soul needed her to do. There were times when her story felt like cuts across my own soul.Oh my gosh, Knox was amazingly perfect in every way. The little bit of conflict in the beginning was like bai...

Devney Perry needed to pick a conflict and stick to it, then use the rest of the book to focus on the romance. the three conflicting side plots completely hijacked the romance which felt so rushed. really 0-100 in the span of a few pages.

I enjoyed reading Memphis and Knox’s story. Superb small town, single parent romance which flutters like butterflies in the heart. It was a great read I would recommend. Can’t wait to read more about the Eden’s.

Devney's writing is still great. We did slow down with this book though, in comparison to Indigo Ridge. Here are the answer to some popular questions: I think this was way less spicy than indigo ridge, (with way less sex scenes) even though the scenes we did get were just as cute. No, you don't need to read Indigo Ridge to enjoy this book, they can both be read as stand-alones. If you are into single-mother, small town romance, this one might be for you. I once again took advantage of the most...

4 'Passion and mess' Stars!ARC provided via Valentine PR in exchange for an honest review. Such a good start to 2022! I am always happy to start the year reading and this one was no exception. I was even more excited because I started it with a book that I was highly anticipating from the one and only Devney Perry. You know the Eden family, right? Devney introduced this amazing family to us last year and I was eager to get back to Quincy! I mean, who was not curious to see the sexy and solitary

4.5 starsI'm so glad that I purchased this book. I've seen it being recommended all over Tiktok and HAD to read it. All my favourite tropes:- Grumpy/Sunshine- Single Parent- Small Town romanceEvery time Memphis was struggling, it sent a pang to my chest. I really felt for her through this book. So glad she got her HEA.Ugh, Knox is probably one of my favourite MCs. Looking forward to reading the other books in the series.Highly recommend this book!

Milinas Library

Owh this is ended soooo sweetly i really adored this book. This is about a single mom that went riches to rags, she moves to a small town to get away from her horrible family and baby daddy and moves into the loft next to Knox’s apartment. Knox is basically in it from the beginning, he is such a family man and is SO sure about Memphis their entire relationship. Not one single miscommunication between them, they are SOLID no matter what and constantly support each other. The conflict is a plot th...
