Cherry Tree Harbor #2

When Xander Buckley’s phone rings and it’s his best friend from his Navvy SEAL days (who also saved his life) asking for a favor, he says yes without even knowing what the favor is. It doesn’t matter that he’s in the middle of renovations for the sports bar he’s about to open in Cherry Tree Harbor. He owes the man his life. For real. The favor comes in a tiny package that goes by the name of Pixie Hart, country music sensation and his friend’s little sister, and who’s dead set on spending “time alone” in an A-frame in the middle of the woods. The last thing Xander needs right now is to babysit a celebrity but it is what it is.
Kelly Jo Sullivan just wants two weeks being herself (literally) and away from her leech of a father and from her obnoxious celebrity ex-boyfriend. Much to her chagrin, her brother sent a goon to be her freaking bodyguard! Hell, no. Yeah, but, no matter what she does, he’s not leaving…
I had the opportunity to read an early copy of this one and Melanie Harlow does it again! This one was FUN! The banter between these two is so so good and if you are a fan of forced proximity, this one is chef’s kiss. Their meet cute is hilarious and pretty soon we are rooting for Kelly Jo and Xander.
We have cameos from beloved characters as always, which is always a boon. I love spending time in Cherry Tree Harbor and I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!
