Unlikely in Love (A Parker Lake Novel Book 1) by Olivia Sherwood – Review by Jennifer Gordon

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

This was a lovely sweet romance set in a small Oklahoma town with a second chance at love theme. The storyline flowed well and had some very touching moments and some very funny moments which along with the wonderful characters kept me happily turning the pages. Annabelle Cleaver (Annie) inherits her grandma’s farm when she dies which results in Annie having to change her plans of leaving her small home town. Then to complicate things further for Annie her high school crush Wyatt returns to town asking for a job on her farm and she discovers he’s still as sexy as ever, if a little broken. Wyatt Holloway has returned to his childhood town a broken man haunted by the three tours overseas he took whilst serving in the army. Wyatt is surprised to find that Annie, the beautiful if quirky girl he remembers from high school is still in town and needs help on her family farm and that he is still drawn to her.

Even though it’s ten years since the pair met neither can deny that the attraction and chemistry is still there but will they get their happy ever after or not. I fell in love with Annie and Wyatt as they are both such likeable and relatable characters and their chemistry really came across in the story. The descriptive narrative bought both the small town and farm setting to life along with the characters, which made me feel immersed in the storyline. This is an enjoyable and engaging heartwarming romance and I look forward to future books in this series. I have also discovered a new favourite author in Olivia Sherwood.
