Fun Read!
When You Got A Good Thing (The Misfit Inn Book 1) - The Forge Book Finishing,Kait Nolan

When You Got A Good Thing by Kait Nolan is a fairly short read, perfect for those with limited time for reading.  Ms Nolan has delivered a well-written book.  The characters are realistic and lovable.  Kennedy and Xander's story is full of drama, suspense, humor and spice.  I enjoyed reading When You Got A Good Thing and look forward to reading more from Kait Nolan in the future.  When You Got A Good Thing is book 1 of The Misfit Inn Series but can be read as a standalone.  This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Know Me Well by Kait Nolan
Know Me Well: A Small Town Southern Romance (Wishful Romance Book 3) - The Forge Book Finishers,Kait Nolan

I read this for the Guy/Girl Next Door square for Romance Bingo and it was also a Kindle Freebie selection.

"I feel like sending a message out to every teenage girl everywhere who ever had a crush on her best friend's big brother---don't give up."

There's a sweetness to this story that can't be denied. The hero enjoys hugs from his mom and never misses a chance to act the gentleman. The heroine's stubborn streak about not accepting help got run into the ground a bit but she's still likable.

The first half they are pretty cute with their desire but both a bit scared to make the first move. The middle and second half drags a bit but if you enjoy encompassing small town stories, you might enjoy the feel and characters here that provide that. The second half gets a bit racy for how the story starts off with shorter but sexy scenes.

This is a sweeter, a bit more slow moving Jill Shalvis equivalent small town romance. The couple is cute and sweet, the secondary characters range from darling to can't wait for their book, and the ending will have an An Officer and a Gentleman fan sighing happily.

"Remember, I’m the librarian. I know your reading preferences. He pretty much fits your hero type to a T.” She gave Riley a knowing smirk.

Riley pointed a finger at her. “You know perfectly well that’s confidential. You’re supposed to be like a priest.”

 

Librarians, keepers of the secrets. 

 

Also, this adorable quote:

 

“Thanks Mom.” Liam slid his arms around her, thinking that for all she was half his size, she still gave the best bear hugs.

To Get Me To You by Kait Nolan
To Get Me To You: A Small Town Southern Romance (Wishful Romance Book 1) - The Forge Book Finishing,Kait Nolan

*For free on Amazon but author did alert me to the book asking if I'd review, so in full disclosure, sort of an ARC :)

Norah works in a high powered, fast paced job in the marketing field in Chicago but when she finds out that her company has been lying to her and taking advantage of her honest nature, she is crushed. She loses her job and casual boyfriend when she refuses to lose her integrity and leaves to a small town in Mississippi to lick her wounds and visit an old college friend. Cam was on the road to a successful city life when his mother got sick with cancer and he decided to ditch grad school and return home to care for her. His highly driven girlfriend couldn't handle his new life direction and ditched him, so when he meets his cousin's old college friend and starts to develop feelings for her, he is wary. However, when Norah and Cam band together to save the small town of Wishful, they find they can't fight their feelings and a small town guy and a big city gal might just work.
 
The first in the Wishful series, To Get Me To You, was an even paced and cozy read. The story mainly centers on Norah and Cam fighting to keep GrandGoods, a big chain company, out of Wishful as Cam feels it will ruin the integrity of the town and Norah's work experience tells her that it will. We follow along as Cam and Norah implement strategies to change the townspeople's minds. Through this we get to meet the secondary characters (townspeople and Cam's family) and what works the best in this story. There were some obvious characters that could be set up for their own books but rarely have I read a story that so cohesively integrates a plethora of characters without it feeling forced or series baiting. Each secondary character added to the story and helped to create the setting, tone, and feeling of Wishful. If looking for a small town feel and all inclusive stories, this would be a great pick.
 
While the overall setting was great, Norah and Cam's relationship took a hit because of this. They start off with a bit of insta-love but then separate as Norah doesn't want to confuse their working relationship and then have more of a building up romance; in a blink they're together, slowly pulled apart, and then find they simply can't resist each other. The focus on the battle to keep GrandGoods out of Wishful overtook their romance and why I would categorize this as more of a cozy romance read rather than strictly romance as the romance takes a backseat. Norah and Cam have a valuable connection, it just wasn't focused on as much as I, personally, like.
 
An interesting aspect of this story was the bit of role reversal from the usual romance tropes; Norah is the high powered workaholic who swoops in to save the day, while Cam was the small town guy who had a moment of overreaction when he overheard something. The character dynamics were new and fresh and added a different flavor to the story. I would have liked some of the working to keep GrandGoods out of town story to be cut, as I felt it clogged up the story at times, in favor of more Norah and Cam.
 
This book is currently free on Amazon for kindle right now and although, I caught a few editing mistakes, wrong word choices, the overall editing and writing is good. If you like small town focused stories with a touch of romance and a cozy women's fiction feel, you'll want to give this one a try.

“These are a devil’s food cake with a peanut butter ganache and a peanut butter cup hidden in the center. I call them billionaires. Sweet and rich, with just a hint of salty. Perfectly sinful and exactly what a good man should be.”
Norah decided she officially loved Carolanne. “I’ll take one with a broody gaze and washboard abs.”


I think we'd all like one...or two ;)
