My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unlikely to Fit is the 2nd book in the Parker Lake series. While the characters do overlap, the book could be enjoyed without reading the series in order. This book focuses on Breckin and Griff. They have known each other forever, but didn’t really KNOW each other. They share common friends and were sort of pushed together, and both resisted at first. Then they slowed discovered their feelings for each other, which were made stronger by their broken hearts. They are such a fun couple, and I was glad their story had a happily ever after. I look forward to the next book, because I want to know what happens for them. The ending was perfect. Highly recommend this book, series and author.

This is the second installment of the Parker Lake Novel Series, and this book was just as amazing as the first book! This series revolved around Breckin, whose husband wound up leaving her for the head cheerleader as soon as she walked across the graduation stage and Griff, the bar owner who lost his long-term girlfriend in a tragic accident that has left him closed off to the idea or notion of getting close to anyone again. Both of these characters had a lot to overcome in this book but my favorite moments of reading this novel had to involve when Griff and Breckin were spending time with his grandmother, Kelda. She is everything I long to be when I am an old lady. Kelda is an integral part of this book that helps to bring these two together in an unlikely way. If you are looking for your next fun series to read that has a lot of laughs and a great story, then look no further because this author has it covered!

This is the second book in the Parker Lake series that I have read. Just like the first book, the author had me hooked from the first page. This book is very relatable as it has to do with broken hearts and second chances at love. Although I do not have a crazy cat lady for a meemaw, Kelda(Griff’s Mema), was absolutely hysterical! Every time she was part of the story she was causing some kind of good chaos.
When Brekin Henderson moved back to Parker Lake she never thought her husband would leave her for a freshly graduated 18-year-old head cheerleader but he did. Now Brekin is forced to not only see her ex-husband daily but pick up the pieces of her shattered heart. Griffin Stephens also is back in Parker Lake to heal a broken heart because his wife was killed in a motorcycle accident. Taking over his grandfather’s bar Griff is now the ears to listen to everyone else’s problems. One night Brekin is with her two friends drowning her sorrows in margaritas at Griff’s bar when Brekin is too drunk to drive home. Griff drives her home and tucks her into bed. In a series of events, Griff and Brekin begin to get close. Could these two heal each other broken hearts? Absolutely love this author and can not wait to see what other great books she publishes!

Unlikely to Fit is just as good as the first book! I love second chance tropes, especially second chances at love. Two people that are no strangers to loss find each other and build something beautiful. The romance and humor from the first book are present here also. I loved the strong and independent Breckin. I can definitely relate to her journey. I loved how sweet Griff is and how much chemistry he and Breckin shared. It was wonderful to watch these two characters find each other. Another winner!

Heartbreak, healing and humour
It was so good to be back in the small town of Parker and getting to know Breckin and Griff. Their story was heartfelt and beautiful. The author’s delivery is amazing with a brilliant mix of humour, romance, drama and real life issues. This can be read as a stand-alone but it is so worth reading book 1 to get to know the town and the people more. I am really looking forward to CC and Brant’s story in book 3.

There are many emotions in this book and you feel them all as you read along. Breckin and Griff are so deserving of love and everyone is rotting for it to happen.

A story of small town love after heartbreak. The characters draw you in and have you laughing and crying throughout the book. Especially Griffin’s Meemaw! Reeling from a bad day at work and running into her ex-husband, Breckin has a girl’s night at Griff’s bar, where she gets hammered and Griff volunteers to bring her home. After a few run-ins with each other, the two begin hanging out, plan Griffin’s grandmother’s birthday party, and eventually are spending almost all of their free time together. When Breckin’s ex gets jealous of their relationship, he acts out of anger and does some serious damage. Can Breckin and Griffin overcome trouble and grief over their own pasts and move forward? This was an incredible book and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a sweet romance with a little bit of trouble!

Unlikely to Fit (Parker Lake) by Olivia Sherwood

Unlikely to Fit(Parker Lake) by Olivia Sherwood is a second chance romance that will pull you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. I’m a huge fan of this author and this series. This might be my favorite yet. Get ready to be taken on quite the emotional rollercoaster ride with this one. At some points I was crying (I’ve been very emotional lately) to absolutely laughing hard. Ioved all the characters, they are well developed and fun. I felt like I was apart of the story. This is Griff and Breckin’s story. She is truly trying to move on with her life after her ex left her for the young cheerleader but she’s finding its hard to do rhat since he’s the football coach at the school she works as a counselor. Griff oh mercy Griff’ s heart was shattered when the love of his life dies due to a accident. He’s not looking for love but neither is Breckin. Can these two be what the other needs to trust and love again? I can’t recommend reading this book enough. If you haven’t read the first book I highly recommend reading it as well. I can’t wait to see what she brings us next.

Unlikely to Fit is the second book in a series and the first book by this author that I have ever read. It is a romantic comedy. And I will say that it serves well as a stand-alone. I felt that reading this for the first time without the first book, it was easy to follow.

The main characters, Breckin and Griff have both recently had heart breaks and are completely starting over. Breckin was divorced. Griff lost his wife in a motorcycle accident. I have to admit that I fell in love with these two characters. But my favorite character development is Griff’s Meemaw. She is funny and kept me laughing throughout the book. I will definitely have to pick up and read the first book in this series!

Griff is a big, muscular, tattooed teddy bear with a huge heart. He never thought he would find love again after losing his first love tragically. Then Breckin walks into his life and he’s genuinely smiling and happy again. He can’t stay away and the way that he calls her Jelly Bean just melts me. She’s been so hurt and embarrassed by her ex husband that she isn’t remotely interested in a relationship but she can’t help but be drawn to him. He looks so gruff on the outside but once she actually takes the time to get to know him she realizes what an amazing person he is as he wriggles his way firmly into her heart. Griff has a mee maw that is laugh out loud hilarious! I really love that this book has so much laughter mixed in with heart melting romance. There is a big tragic twist in the story that I wasn’t expecting but the ending is absolutely beautiful. I’m really looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

How to describe this sweet romance? For starters meemaw is awesome and you will fall in love with her for sure! Breckin is so sweet and not in a bad way. I adore her character and her strength for all she’s been through. And then there’s Griff. Mmm Griff in my mind is close to every girls dream guy. The one who makes you feel safe and beautiful. With everything that they have both been through its not surprising they are not interested in starting anything. But who knows what can happen if there’s chemistry? Is chemistry enough when your heart is broken?

A romantic comedy smash hit! I LOVED this book. The author develops relatable, funny characters with depth. You really get to know all of the characters, but deeply understand the hurts and joys of the main characters, which keeps the reader engaged with the story. I love the world created by the author and the relationships and friendships on display in her books, especially in this series. I laughed out loud many times— Meemaw’s character is something else!

In this story we dive deeper into the lives of Breckin and Griff, who have each had their heartbreaks and given up on love; however, they have caught one another’s eye. Will they take another chance on love? Could it ever work?

This is the second book in the series, so if you read the first, you already know many of the other characters in the book, which makes it even more engaging—though it could be read as a stand-alone. I enjoyed this book and Breckin and Griff’s story even more than the first book in the series and I cannot wait for the third!

This great contemporary romance has everything that a romance reader could possibly want. Full of second chances, chemistry, drama, humor, a small town and so much more make up this fantastic novel with fabulous characters. Having read the first book in this series I happily picked up this copy of book two and dived right in. Breckin is nursing a broken heart, while Griff is broken in his own way. But what will happen when she agrees to help him with his grandmother’s birthday party? Will Griff be able to make Breckin trust again? Will Breckin be able to see Griff’s gentle soul? Will they be able to heal each other’s hearts? You’ll have to read this wonderful novel to find out for yourself.

What do you get when you cross romance and comedy? One amazing story that will have you laughing, crying and jumping up and down when things go right for the characters. A beautiful starting over tale that combines a wonderful story line with ultra relatable characters. I really enjoyed watching Breckin fall for the devastatingly charming, but wholly broken, Griff. I loved the fact that the author shows that love can truly heal even the deepest of heartbreaks. If you’re looking for a story full of emotions, comedy, fun and love you have no further to look as this book will give you the charming HEA you are craving.

My heart bled for the main character in this book as she tried to become resilient in the face of something she’d tried to overcome but when the story unravels, this story will have a tug that’s unmatchable. The chemistry between the two characters with their history (not just towards one another) but to be willing to give love a second chance. This is truly a feel-good book to curl up with any night of the week, it will have you laughing then crying and most of all, the characters will have you beaming from ear to ear.

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.

Unlikely to Fit by Olivia Sherwood

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The author sure had me hooked from the beginning. It was hard for me to put down once I started. This is the second book in the Parker Lake Novels.

Breckin has lost her husband to a newly graduated cheerleader. When she doesn’t leave town to get away from the gossip it may be a good thing. She meets Griff who is a gentleman and she can’t wait. If only she could get to work on time. The quote I chose for Breckin is: “Ugh! For the love of everything holy, please get the damn donkey out of the middle of the road!”

Griff comes home after the horrible loss of his girlfriend. He takes over taking care of his grandmother and running her around for errands. He also takes over his grandfather’s bar and when he meets Breckin he thinks he may have a chance. The quote I chose for Griff is: “It doesn’t really bother me. I met her dad at Meemaw’s party. I like him. Plus, I know Meemaw posted a picture of his butt on Instagram so I kind of have the upper hand on him.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Comedy lovers.

Breckin never saw her life turning out this way. She surely didn’t expect her husband to leave her. She’s not in the market for a new relationship, especially after how hers ended. She just moved back to Parker so she’s not running but staying isn’t as easy as one would think. Her ex husband working for the same high school definitely brings it’s own challenges. Griff knows loss and grief. Having his own pain doesn’t stop him from listening to the troubles of those around him as he runs his grandfather’s bar. These two have been broken and neither one of them have the desire to meet anyone new. Can these two broken hearted mend with each other?

I really enjoyed this book. There are so many emotions. I hurt for Breckin when her husband left her. She didn’t see that coming. She developed well through the story. She was strong and depended on herself when it mattered. Griff knew what it was like to lose someone and eventually opened his mind to exploring something with Breckin. I loved these characters and couldn’t put the book down!

I can not explain how much I enjoy reading books by this author. Her smooth writing style is exactly what I enjoy about reading. The quick wit that is a part of the character dialogue, not to mention that they always just feel so real and like I’m sitting there a part of everything going on. I have read these out of order and am so glad I took the time to go back and start at the beginning. Breckin and Griff are two of my favorite characters from this series. I met them in Book 3 then again in book 1. As I said, I’ve read totally out of order, but it doesn’t matter, they are that good.

Griff’s meemaw and Wyatt’s niece Hattie totally stole the story on every page they showed up on. They made me smile and laugh out loud more than once.

The friendships and family aspect of this whole series has me completely hooked. I want to move there and insert myself into this group of people. The progression of Griff and Breck’s relationship was actually beautiful. Knowing each other as long as they had, it felt natural the way everything happened. The sadness they both endured separately yet worked so hard to heal together. There were times I just wanted to scream at certain characters in this story. So it is safe to say, I experienced just about every emotion possible while reading. I love that, and not wanting to put the book down and definitely not wanting it to end!

I can not recommend reading this whole series high enough. Definitely one of my favorite authors ever and I seriously can’t wait to read book 3 again after finishing this one.

I LOVED IT!!

This is the second book in the series and I was looking forward to reading it as I really enjoyed reading Annie and Wyatt’s story in the first book.
In the book we get Breckin and Griffin’s story. Breckin is one of the group of female friends from the first book and Griffin is Wyatt’s friend. I remember loving the closeness and camaraderie of the group of friends and this is just as evident in this book. It’s lucky that Breckin has such a good support network as her husband left her for one of the cheerleaders at the school they both teach at, as soon as she had graduated. Griffin still hasn’t come to terms with the loss of his girlfriend in a motorcycle accident. Needless to say both are pretty broken and definitely not looking for love. Although they do say that love sometimes sneaks up on you when you least expect it.
I absolutely loved reading Breckin and Griffin’s story. Both are fantastic characters that I loved reading. However, I must say that for me the star of the show definitely has to be Meemaw, Griffin’s 90 year old grandmother. She had me in fits of laughter throughout although I must add that the part of the story set at Thanksgiving has to be my favourite part of this book. It is hilarious. I won’t give any spoilers but I guarantee plenty of laughs.

This is the second installment of the Parker Lake Novel series that I have read and this one was just as good as the previous book. I will suggest that you read the books in order so that you can get a clear understanding of the characters, but I don’t feel that it’s a must as the author does a phenomenal job with her descriptions. Despite the cover photo, which had me a little concerned, this was such a hilarious, romantic comedy. I couldn’t put it down and can’t wait to get my hands on book three. If you are a series fanatic of romantic comedies like me then you will love this book and I highly recommend it. I think that this would be a great series for you and your friends to read together because you would have so much to discuss. It may even remind you of people and places that you know. A very good book.
