Unlikely in Love by Olivia Sherwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unlikely In Love (A Parker Lake Novel Book 1) by Olivia Sherwood is a sweet romance that is about two people meeting and maybe finding love where it was never expected. This is not my first book by this author but I know what I am getting when I pick up one of her books. I know that I am getting an adventure that I won’t be able to put down. I love her writing style and her creation of characters. Her characters are true to life and connectable. They will pull you into their world and make you feel like you are right there with them. You will get pulled in from the first word until the last. Find out what happens to these characters as they form a bond and friendship that may last a lifetime.

Annabelle Cleaver finds herself sitting in a lawyers office listening to the last will and testament of the only relative she ever really loved. She has been stuck in a small town in Oklahoma and is confused as to what comes next. What will happen when her high school crush moves back to town? On top of coming back, he asks for a job on her farm. How complicated will her simple life get?

Wyatt Holloway is returning from three tours overseas a broken man. He has demons that haunt him night and day. What will happen when he realizes that the girl from high school needs help on her farm? He does the only thing he can think of, asks for a job. He seems to be drawn to her but she has always held his interest.

Annabelle and Wyatt’s relationship is one that starts out as employee-employer but turns into something more. They know each other from high school but the funny thing is that neither one know each others feelings for each other back then. Now, will they figure it out? Will they find love despite the odds going against them? You will fall in love with these characters. They really do complement each other, they are just so good together. You will find yourself hoping that they will figure out how to get their HEA. He is just so broken, will she heal him? He is sweet, charming, smart and independent despite how broken inside he is. She is sweet, smart and compassionate and saddened by the death of her beloved grandmother. Their banter back and forth is funny, funny and keeps the story flowing. There were parts in this story that I just wanted to say, wake up and see what is right in front of you. Will they realize just how deep their feelings really go? You will need to read this story to get the whole feeling of just how sweet this story is. Find out what happens with Annabelle and Wyatt, will they find their HEA?

I loved Olivia Sherwood’s last series and I love the start of this one. I can’t wait to read more from this series. Ashlie is a small town mom who lives in Oklahoma and loves to write. She love to buy books knowing that it will leave her smiling at the end. When she is not writing you can find her watching the Food Network, Netflix or HGTV. She also loves to spend time with her daughter and son. Once again, she has brought her characters to life on this page and make them pop right off the page. I read this book in one sitting and totally lost track of time while reading this book. I highly recommend this story as I know you will want to see the start of this author’s new series and also what happens to Annabelle and Wyatt.
