Hudson Higgins had fond memories of Boggy Creek from his childhood. So what better place to escape New York City for a few weeks to finish up a book that was nearing deadline than the small town in New Hampshire his parents visited nearly every summer.

What he couldn’t have known was how his life would be turned upside down when he walked into Greer Larson’s bookstore his first day in town.

Greer Larson lived a quiet life in her hometown of Boggy Creek. She had worked nearly her whole adult life to make her dreams of owning her bookstore come true—and now, Turning Pages was her everything. She lived, eat, and breathed the success of owning her own business.

That is, until a stranger came to town and showed Greer that there was more to life than simply working. A friendship between Greer and Hudson quickly formed over their love of books and the outdoors.

When Greer’s bookstore is threatened, Hudson soon realizes he hasn’t simply fallen for the charm of Boggy Creek and Greer, he’d fallen in love…with both the town, and the woman who stole his heart from the moment she first smiled at him.

Playing with Words is book two in the Boggy Creek Valley series and is a stand alone novel.

I loved this book, because it’s everything I need: hea, books, a book store, romantic gestures, and a pinch of spice. I have a few questions regarding the plot though. I love sneaking into the other books in the series, and I just found a contradiction between two small dialogues in this book and in the sixth book. It’s nothing serious, it’s just me being attentive.

No cliffhanger
Standalone though part of a larger series
Told from both POVs
Love at first sight romance

I always love reading this author because I know I’m going to get a cute love story with just a touch of drama to keep things interesting but not too much angst.

This book is a perfect example of that. Hudson and Greer have an almost instant chemistry, even though they try to fight it. Once they give in though their flame burns hot and so does their relationship. You could say they go zero to sixty pretty darn quickly.

Their love story is a sweet one, and Hudson is willing to do anything to make Greer happy.

I won’t give too much away, but if you are looking for a quick, cute read, this is a great book choice.

Sounds like Bishop and Abby are up next! Can’t wait for their story.

I beta/sensitivity read this gem for Kelly, and I have to say, doing this made me fall in love with Kelly’s words! I loved this so much that I had to go back and read book one just to get the full experience. I sensitivity read for a character named Candace who is essentially…me. She is hilarious, beautiful, super smart, and is Greer’s bff! I mean, hello!! I love that I could see myself in this cozy small town that gave me all the Autumn feels of hot cocoa wrapped in a warm blanket. I love that this story surrounds a cool book store named Turning Pages, and it’s where all these amazing women who just happen to be the best of friends work together running this amazing place.

Oh, and did I mention that this is a love story? Lol. That’s the wonderful thing about this series, you are just as invested in the female friendships as well as the actual love story!!

“What do you do when a drop-dead gorgeous man walks into your bookstore and asks if you have a quiet corner for him to work in?” Greer was thrown off her rocker by the handsome author, Hudson..along with the rest of us.

This book made me laugh out loud, swoon, and Fangirl over the mention of Kerrigan Bryne, and her books—The Highway Man, and The Hunter!! These are the coolest women, and I just want to live here forever!!

I’m so excited to dive into each of the books in this series. Kelly Elliott, you are so gifted in the way you create these characters and the place where they live!

Greer is the owner of Turning Pages, a bookstore in the small town of Boggy Creek. She’s grown up there and helped out in the bookstore while she was growing up. During that time, she told the previous owner that if he ever retired, she would love to own it someday. Things get shaken up a bit when some suits arrive in this small town.

Hudson Higgins is an author struggling to get his latest book finished on time. He’s arrived in Boggy Creek from New York City to see if he can get his mojo back. Of course, he makes a stop into the local bookstore and you will enjoy Hudson and Greer’s first meeting a lot. The chemistry between these two is unexpected, but the more time they spend together just sharing their love of things about and around Boggy Creek they find they have a lot in common.

I had the best time reading this book. The town, the scenery, and the characters I could picture in my mind as I turned every page. Pure enjoyment! I highly recommend reading this series!!

Playing with Words is heart squeezing adorable. I'm simply even more in love with Boggy Creek after this one. I love love love Hudson and Greer so much. You feel the sparks start to fly from the very beginning of their awkward meet cute. The connection Greer and Hudson share is hot and so swoon worthy. Greer is a sweetheart. She feels like your best friend that is always by your side. Hudson is incredible and will just own your heart. When it comes to Greet and Hudson hold on and enjoy their beautiful build. There are so many cute little moments you are just going to love. I could not get enough of Hudson and Greer. I'm in love with this book and series. I really cannot wait to return to Boggy Creek.

Very cute story. Don't let the illustrated cover fool you, this is spicier, in a good way, than one would think. Likeable main and secondary characters and a nice setup for the next book. I'm looking forward to the next book.

I loved this book and I especially loved Hudson! I had a tiny bit of a hard time getting into at first but it didn't take too long before I was hooked. I loved that it was about an author and an owner of a bookstore falling in love. I really wished it had an epilogue though because I wasn't done with it. I wanted more of Greer and especially Hudson! Sigh...I loved Hudson ❤️.

Dual povs and an HEA. Can't wait to keep reading the series.

Yet again a very easy gentle read by Kelly. Author guy, Hudson moves to Boggy Creek , having writers block, and needing inspiration to finish his book. Greer book shop workaholic is immediately attracted to this handsome stranger on first encounter. The story unfolds, with previous and new characters. The descriptions of emotions, places and senses, fill the readers mind that you journey through the book with them. A smile on your face, a glow in your heart, and the need to turn the next page. A very well written story, and a compelling read, leading into the next episode of this interesting story.

Greer & Hudson feel the spark between them as soon as they meet. She is a busy woman, working hard to make her bookstore a success. He is a successful author struggling to write his next book. He comes to Boggy Creek as he has fond memories of being their with his family. Greer helps him find a quiet place to stay so he can write. She sparks his imagination and he ignites a light that has been missing in her life. They are not sure what will happen between as he lives in New York, but neither of them can deny the connection and how right they feel together. This is a very sweet, almost love at first sight story with a little heat. A very heartwarming enjoyable read.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading every bit of book two in the Boggy Creek Valley series. I was looking forward to reading this after book one and was not disappointed. Love stories that pull you in and make you want to sit and read it non-stop,which this one did. Right from the off Greer and Hudson were just perfect together. Can't wait for the next book.
