Rowena’s review of Undone (Country Roads #1) by Shannon Richard.
Things Paige Morrison will never understand about Mirabelle, Florida:
Why wearing red shoes makes a girl a harlot
Why a shop would ever sell something called “buck urine”
Why everywhere she goes, she runs into sexy-and infuriating-Brendan King
After losing her job, her apartment, and her boyfriend, Paige has no choice but to leave Philadelphia and move in with her retired parents. For an artsy outsider like Paige, finding her place in the tightly knit town isn’t easy-until she meets Brendan, the hot mechanic who’s interested in much more than Paige’s car. In no time at all, Brendan helps Paige find a new job, new friends, and a happiness she wasn’t sure she’d ever feel again. With Brendan by her side, Paige finally feels like she can call Mirabelle home. But when a new bombshell drops, will the couple survive, or will their love come undone?
This was a sweet romance from cover to cover. It was one of those romances that is slow to unfold but not necessarily boring. There isn’t any big plot that is drama filled or anything like that. There’s just a man and a woman who meet and fall in love with each other. They learn to care for each other and then from the friendship, a love grows. I thought it was a cute story. It wasn’t one of those stories that is filled up to the brim with drama and bogged down with everything under the sun. It’s just a romance novel that is really big on the romance.
For me, this book was one of those stories that will probably not be popular because not a lot is going on except two characters growing close with each passing page but it worked for me.
Paige is down on her luck. She lost her job, moved in with her boyfriend and when he breaks up with her, she moves back home to her parents house. Only, they don’t live in the same house that she grew up in. They moved to a small town and she’s not feeling welcome. She’s gone on multiple job interviews with no call backs and after months of putting up with everything, her car breaks down…and she finally catches a break.
When Brendan showed up with his tow truck to pick up Paige’s car, he wasn’t expecting to find such a beautiful woman to come along with it. After that meeting, Brendan finds that he can’t get her out of his mind and he embarks on a full pursuit of her and his pursuit was too freaking adorable.
The meeting, the attraction and the build up made this book such a cute story and I enjoyed it. It’s a little on the light hearted side but it was perfect for what I was in the mood for and I definitely recommend this book.
