I didn’t know I was that person. You know—the one who gets the kids. But that’s what the will said. June Lawler: Legal Guardian.
My niece and nephew are 6 and 9, and all they’ve ever known is San Francisco. I arrive the day after the wreck, pack up my sister’s mansion, and fly them back to Georgia.
The small-town farm where their mom and I grew up isn’t what it once was, but it’s home. That’s all they really need.
*
I was courting an investor when it happened. Tromped all up and down the Himalayas, and he didn’t even buy in. It was a week before I found out what I’d lost. My little brother meant the world to me. Now even his kids are gone.
Spirited away to Heat Springs, Georgia—population 298.
They’re living on a farm that’s half a breath from bank foreclosure with a 26-year-old who didn’t finish high school. Nowhereville is not the place for little Mastersons. But I’ll get them back. It’s the money she must want, and I’ve got lots of that.
“June Bug” Lawler is poorer than that red dirt she comes from. I can make her dreams come true—and do one last thing for my brother.
I hate him.
She makes me crazy.
He thinks he can buy me off! I’ve never met a man so arrogant.
There’s no woman anywhere more stubborn.
I wish I had never met him.
But that’s not the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I was immediately transplanted into this story and I loved every moment. The author has a wonderful way of putting you head-first into the story. I loved all the details and the world-building was fantastic. I am from a small town in the south myself and grew up in the country so I loved drawing parallels from this book to my own experiences.
I thought that the characters development in this book was fabulous. When you first start reading this book, the characters grab your attention straight away and you can't pull yourself away because you want more of them. The characters were distinct and memorable. I loved the side characters. The family relationships in this book are wonderful.
The romance in this book is an enemies-to-lovers trope and I think that the author really pulls it off well. When the main characters meet, they are definitely not the biggest fan of the other. One is presumptuous and the other is prideful. At first these two clash like oil and water and then something happens to bring them closer and the walls start falling down.
I loved this plot. It was sort of tragic and bittersweet at the same time. These two souls find their way together and they wouldn't have without the bad stuff happening in their lives. I thought that the plot was clever and well planned out. The pacing of the story was perfect and I was so glued to these pages. The ending was so perfect and I couldn't have asked for better.
Overall, this was a story that really dug into my soul a little bit. I was so enamored with these characters and their story is one that really spoke to me. I'm so glad to have read this story and I will be checking out more stories by this author for sure.
