Rating 4.5 Stars
A sexy fireman, cute kittens and small-town charm by the bucket load, Carrie Nichols’s latest contemporary romance, The Hero Next Door is sheer reading delight from beginning to end.
Olive Downing couldn’t believe her luck when she won a Victorian bed-and-breakfast. Having recently broken things off with her partner, Olive was looking for a fresh start and a new beginning and Loon Lake and her unexpected fortune fit her plans to a tee. The bed and breakfast she inherited needs plenty of work to restore it to its former glory, but Olive won’t be deterred. She is looking forward to getting stuck in – even if her new next door neighbor seems to delight in pointing out the many flaws in her plan…
Cal Pope is not your typical curtain-twitcher. For one thing, he is the local firefighter who is always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in the community – and for another, he also happens to look like he’s just sauntered off a film set! With everyone in Loon Lake keen to find a perfect mate for bachelor Cal, the handsome fireman has had his fill of his friends and neighbors trying to set him up on dates – until he meets Olive Downing and he finds himself intrigued by the smart, funny and pretty newcomer to Loon Lake.
With the town fundraiser pushing the two of them in one another’s path, Olive and Cal quickly find themselves drawn to each other. When Cal surprises Olive with two adorable rescue kittens, she begins to wonder whether she should give into the attraction that sizzles between them and tell Cal how she really feels. But does he reciprocate her feelings for him? Or will Olive end up embarrassed, disappointed and broken-hearted?
Carrie Nichols’s name on a book cover is a surefire guarantee of an enchanting small-town contemporary romance that will leave readers feeling uplifted and she certainly does not disappoint with The Hero Next Door. It is always a pleasure to return back to Loon Lake and The Hero Next Door is the latest heartfelt, witty, emotional and irresistible contemporary romance that cannot fail to raise a smile and touch the heart.
Olive and Cal are two characters readers will warm to and fall in love with. They are both kind, layered, multi-faceted and believable characters readers cannot resist rooting for.
A gorgeous romantic escape, Carrie Nichols has got another winner on her hands with her latest novel, The Hero Next Door.
