I love everything that Elizabeth Hunter has written, so it was not a huge surprise that I loved this book. The part that I loved the most about this book, though was the fact that the relationship was solid from the beginning. One of the tropes that I hate the most is the BIG MISUNDERSTANDING. As I started to read the book, I was waiting for the big misunderstanding and slowly began to realize that I had nothing to fear. Thank you Elizabeth for showing you can write a great romance without the tropes.
I am not going to give you a synopsis because that’s what the book blurbs are for. I will just say that I loved all of the characters and the relationships between the characters. I also really hope that there is going to be a book about Hannah and Stan in the future.

About the author
Feel-good small-town romance with a side of spice
Kelsey is a food writer based in San Rafael/San Francisco. Professionally she is in a good place as she is employed at a prestigious food magazine. Writing for the magazine allows her to travel and basically set her own timetable. Even though she has made a new life for herself in the Bay Area, she regularly goes home to Los Robles in the Central Valley to visit her brother, who is her only remaining family and her best friends Talia and Kurt. At a party at her brothers winery she meets Oskar, a new chef, who has recently opened his own place in Arroyo Grande . Oskar is originally from Denmark and is now living the American Dream. He not only knows how to cook, but he is quite the dish himself with his Nordic good looks. Cue meet cute and insta-lust and you got all the ingredients for a night filled with blazing hot passion. But come morning they realize that they live hundreds of miles apart. They are really into each other, so they embark on a long distance relationship. Since they have both busy professional schedules, it’s really difficult to spend time together and that is slowing putting a strain on their relationship. Kelsey has been thinking about saying good-bye to the big city life and move back to the Central Valley, but she is hesitant because of the repercussions the move might have on her career. It takes trials and tribulations and some soul-searching before Kelsey and Oskar manage to finally find their happy ending. I loved all the quirky supporting characters, from Kelsey’s gay friend Felipe to Oskar’s neurodivergent sister Hanna with her refreshing candor, even Kelsey’s stalkerish ex who undergoes an unexpected metamorphosis. And I also loved the small-town setting with its close-knit community vibe. And the fact, that even though it was kind of clear from the beginning which one of the two main protagonists would have to relocate, it was not taken as a given but had to be hashed out. All in all a nice little summer read without too much angst and a satisfying side dish of spice.
