https://www.fac …more Hi! Thank you :) I don't have Wes scheduled at this moment, but if that changes, I'll post the news in my Facebook reader group first. to put it simply, I JUST LOVED THE WAY THE H LOVED THE h. if theres one thing i disliked about the h is that shes living MY dream. 🤪😭 This was one of the cutest marriage of convenience books that I have read. Noah has loved Shay ever since high school and when he gets a second chance to pursue her, he goes all in. This was such a light hearted no frills kind of read, this new to me author just let the characters do the talking without throwing any unexpected twists or turns, something you could see unfolding in life, without the fake marriage that is..

Second—and most problematic since her fiancé just called off the wedding—Shay must be married within one year. Marriage is the last thing in the world Shay wants but she’ll do anything to save the only real home she’s ever known.Marriage is the last thing in the world Shay wants but she’ll do anything to save the only real home she’s ever known. If I wasn’t forgettable, people wouldn’t be able to leave me so easily and go on with their lives like nothing was different. And it just keeps happening. That’s how I know it’s true.”

She was beautiful in a way that overwhelmed me, though it wasn’t just her face, her body. She was a sunbeam through a storm cloud.” Noah has been his niece's guardian since his sister began serving a lifetime prison sentence. No plot moppet, the foul-mouthed six-year-old is a fully developed character and her relationships with Shay and Noah are similarly developed. I appreciate that Canterbary put in the work. I had the biggest smile on my face reading this book. Noah is the definition of boy obsessed. He is a grump to everyone else but when it comes to Shay he is the sweetest cinnamon roll man ever that will quite literally do anything for her. I wanted to take a sample of his tone and study it under a microscope because I couldn’t see how someone could be both bored and confrontational inside a handful of words. It was art.”I wish I loved something enough to know I wanted to spend my life doing it but loving stuff is scary. It’s a goddamn danger to my health. These things that people love, they often turn around and destroy them.” This is where you belong, Shay. This is the home and we are the family you’ve always wanted … You belong here and you belong to me.”

In a Jam by Kate Canterbary | Waterstones

Not only was the romance immaculate but my favorite pirate Gennie was the star of this book alongside her uncle and Shay. She was the funniest character ever and deserves the absolute world and more. NOAH-This man is all the good things!! He's growly and protective. Totally and completely needy and obsessed for his woman and the sexy uncle vibes who totally loves his niece is GIVING! I loved his relationship with his niece, Gennie was so funny and adorable. And THOSE scenes were just 🫠! No one has made the word wife sound so hot!

AMAZING!!!! Literally everything I could ever want in a book!! I cannot believe I stayed up till 3am binge reading this book! Yes, it is just that good!!! All the feels!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ A lifetime later, Noah is a single dad to his niece and has his hands full running the family business. That old crush is the farthest thing from his mind.

if only she knew how much i’d always liked her. that there was no one else for me. my world started and ended with her sitting beside me on those dark morning rides to school, and it started up all over again when i found her on my farm.” I so appreciated the touches of learning that Noah was an awkward teenager, that he was fat and had bad acne, and the way Shay is also fat and flinging away her toxic ex-fiancee's attitudes toward bodies and perfection. In a Jam is on the long side for a contemporary romance, but it doesn't feel that way. I read this on audio and Jason Clarke and Kit Swann really nailed it. Clarke especially got Noah's growly bits, but the humor and sadness and soft moments were gorgeously narrated by both. Swann's treatment of Shay's self-doubt and general sense of being unmoored was beautiful. While I'm sure it's a great ebook, I strongly recommend this on audio.ALSO, this is casually queer (Shay's best friend is polyamorous and bi, and is THE BEST and I hope she never changes), and is so gentle with how Shay and Noah work with Gennie and her cussing and her outburts without infantilizing her or making her into a plot moppet. Also the aspects of being just utterly lonely and feeling completely un-loveable felt so raw, yet again was handled so tenderly. Give me more JUST like this please and thank you. If I had known I’d have a hot architect balls deep inside of me before the end of the weekend, I’d have made time for a pedicure.” There was no one else for me. My world started and ended with her sitting beside me on those dark morning rides to school, and it started up all over again when I found her on my farm.” This book was everything I wanted and needed. Shay’s insecurities and abandonment issues shot me through the chest (yes, I cried, more than once). Noah’s growly grumpy persona and silent pining absolutely killed me. And GENNIE!!! The sweet 1st grade pirate with ADHD. I loved all of them so much and fell in love with the town right along with Shay. The smile I’d caught yesterday, the lightness in her – I hadn’t realized I’d missed it until it was there again, bright and warm and magnetic.
