Summary

A warm, feel-good, enemies-to-lovers, lesbian romance about chasing your dreams—wherever they might lead.

Powerful venture capitalist Claire Pressley is done with stressful New York and has set her sights on a "treechange"—renovating a homestead in Eagle Cove, Oregon, to make a gorgeous guesthouse.

Her plan isn't quite so simple when it turns out Eagle Cove's beloved town librarian Ruby Jordan had been saving to buy the homestead herself. Worse, Ruby had some grand, beautiful dream to turn it into an animal shelter.

Claire couldn't look more like a villain in her new town if she tried. Now she has to find a way to make peace with the locals, as Ruby furiously works out a Plan B for her animal shelter.

But even as the hot-headed women keep clashing, it's hard not to notice their sizzling chemistry, and how attractive they find each other.

It seems unlikely they'll even manage to be friends at this rate. And being more than friends . . . that would be just ridiculous! Right?

Contains mature themes.

Wonderful Enemies to Lovers Novel

Venture capitalist Claire Presley is giving up the power position in NYC for Eagle Cove, Oregon. She want to renovate a place into a retreat for women who need a place to withdraw and relax. Librarian Ruby Jordon had a dream of turning the same place into an animal sanctuary. Now they’re at loggerheads. The characters are great, the animals are adorable and the chemistry is simmering. A fun love story. Great narration.

Great book

You don’t need a major drama to enjoy a good story. Especially if narration is good as well

Good Enough

I liked the story enough. Being a native Oregonian, I was excited to experience a story set in the beautiful part of the state that it is. The thing that peeves me is when a narrator can’t properly pronounce region specific names. This happens too often, and happens a here. It’s annoying and distracting to me.
The story itself is okay, but I felt it needed a little more. It felt a little too…surface. It’s possible that was due to the narration. I just didn’t feel it. I was a little bored at times.
Overall, no regrets. It didn’t knock my socks off or anything, but it was an easy listen.

Excellent story and narration!

I loved this when I first read the ebook version. The excellent narration by Sophie Daniels makes an already wonderful story even better. Highly recommend! The main characters, Ruby and Claire, are likeable and swoon worth. Plus there are some wondeful secondary characters - Ned, Wayne, Katie, Shirley & Pete as well animals Ninja the cat, Hettie the donkey and Eleanor the chicken 🥰.

Meh

I didn't love it, but didn't hate it either. It was boring at times, with little character development. Kinda angsty, with the usual 'should I or shouldn't I trust her with my heart.' I actually skipped ahead a couple times and didn't miss a thing.
The narrator was just ok, not horrible just ok.
