Unlikely to Fit (Parker Lake) by Olivia Sherwood – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Unlikely to Fit by Olivia Sherwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly loved this second chance at love story and I enjoyed being back in the small town setting of Parker. Breckin Henderson and her football coach husband returned to her hometown of Parker, Oklahoma, only for him to leave her for the head cheerleader. Instead of running, Breckin remains in Parker and decides to build a new life for herself. Griff is a local who returned with a broken heart following the death of his girlfriend in a motorcycle accident. Griff now works as a bartender at the bar his grandfather owned and provides a listening ear for the locals. He also takes care of his elderly grandmother and takes her food shopping each week. Both Breckin and Griff have had their hearts broken once before and have insecurities, fears and trust issues but as their attraction grows and they get closer, they discover that they might be able to fall in love again.

Once again the setting is brought to life by the authors descriptive narrative and I felt fully immersed in small town life, and the gossip it brings. The characters are likeable and relatable and the chemistry between Breckin and Griff sizzled off the page. I liked catching up with characters from the previous book, although this can be read as a standalone story. This is an enjoyable and engaging read with plenty of drama, romance and some laugh out loud moments, mainly curtesy of Breckin’s grandmother. A wonderfully written and detailed story which kept me hooked, and happily turning the pages, I was hoping that Breckin and Griff would get their HEA. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
