About this ebook

USA Today author Melissa Schroeder invites you back to the world of Juniper Springs, and the one man who lives life on his own terms, CARTER HAWTHORNE.

I’ve always been the brother who everyone calls the flirt. The one who isn’t too serious, the one who is a little…different.

And I don’t mind that title. In fact, I use my ability to think outside of the box to help my family in their business.

I’m also known as the player, although, I haven’t…suited up in a while. So maybe that’s why I’ve become completely infatuated with my old childhood friend Piper Abernathy.

Just saying her name makes me itch beneath my skin. I want to know what she’s thinking, how she spends her days, and I fantasize what her hair smells like.

Weird, right?

And her lips…they are intoxicating. One taste will never be enough, and while I can talk her into my bed, she resists me beyond that.

She says we make each other bonkers, and she doesn’t believe in happily ever after.

For a woman who plans out ever minute of her day, she never counted on me, and I aim to prove to her there’s nothing wrong with crazy as long as we’re together.

Author Note: If you’ve met Carter, you know just how insane he is. He’s in Juniper, wooing his old childhood friend, irritating his brother, making friends with the LOLs, and becoming at one with the Juniper Springs culture. And if you think he’s crazy with his family, just wait until you see the things he does to his lady love.

I liked this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable with a few exceptions. The characters were interesting and likable for the most part. Carter and Piper were best friends until Carter's hormones kicked in and he decided to ditch Piper as a friend and hook up with other girls. Piper ended up getting sent to a boarding school but when she came back home she avoided Carter because he was always with a girl. After 20 years apart they were both living in the same town again.

I thought it was interesting that I could really feel that "click" between Carter and Piper when they were kids. Just goes to show you that things that start out so simply when you are young turn much more complicated with age. I felt for both of them as kids struggling with defining their own personalities instead of what other people thought they should be. I loved the way Carter was with his niece Esme, how he and Piper just got one another after being separated for so long. Juniper Springs and the LOL's help to make this story fun and humorous. I liked that Piper grounded Carter while he lightened her load. I thought the dialogue was sweet, quirky, snarky, witty, and funny. Piper and Carter's HEA was just as special as their relationship. I enjoyed all of the characters, along with the double epilogue. I am looking forward to both Josh and Mason's books. I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book received via Booksprout.

***3.5 Stars *** A decent book but forgettable This is the second book in the Juniper Springs Series and is the story of Carter and Piper. I will preface by saying I haven’t read the first book, and maybe that impacted my enjoyment of this one. I liked it but it isn’t a book that I will remember much or think about again. This was a well written book and I liked Carter. I enjoyed reading the book though I felt that for someone who knew Piper, Carter was acting in ways that he knew could cause misunderstandings. It was as if the author showed us that Carter really understood Piper but then had him act idiotically to extend the angst. I just didn’t understand why he didn’t talk to Piper about his feelings. Pipers visit to her mother also seemed too pat. Her parents have been rude and mean to her but suddenly she is okay with them and okay with everything? It seemed a little too much of ‘believe what we say not what we do.’ It just didn’t sit right with me. Overall, though I think the objections I had are just about me. I think most people will really enjoy this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

From an early age, USA Today Bestselling author Melissa Schroeder loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.

Since her first published book, Grace Under Pressure, Mel has had over 60 short stories, novellas, and novels published. She has written in genres ranging from historical to contemporary to futuristic and has worked with 8 publishers although she handles most of her publishing herself. She is best known for her Harmless and Santini series.

After years of following her military husband around the country and world, Mel happily lives with her family in horse and wine country in Northern Virginia.
