Unlikely to Stay (Parker Lake) by Olivia Sherwood

4 out of 5 Stars

Colleen “CC” Chandler is a hairstylist in small-town Oklahoma. CC has lived there most of her life. She doesn’t plan on going anywhere. CC owns the salon and another building that she has plans for, if she can ever get the money.

Brant Billings is in the same smalltown but not because he wants to be. Brant has found a way to get his student loans forgiven, spend 3 years in rural America where there is limited access to health care. He is two and half years in. Brant noticed the extremely attractive hairstylist shortly after getting to town but she, CC, seems to avoid him.

Brant agrees to partake in a bachelor auction that the town is holding to raise funds to help CC make her dream for her extra building come true. This is just the start of CC and Brant being in the same place at the same time. As their mutual attraction grows, so does their friendship. Will this be the beginning of something special? When his time is up, is Brant gone?

This endearing tale of love and finding more than what you expect is cleverly written. The colorful cast of characters grab you from the start. The townsfolk keep the excitement and the laughs coming. Be prepared to laugh out loud, like milk (or water, in my case) coming out of the nose laughing! I am just jumping into this series but I plan to make a u-turn and find out what I missed. Great read with a little steam!!!
