Love Inn Books is a complete standalone and can be read without any of the other books, but if you prefer to read them in order, start with Falling Inn Love as the characters and families are interconnected.*

I’ve been waiting for Preston Shaw’s book; the somewhat uptight lawyer who has spent quite a bit of time helping the people of Freedom Valley fight injustices is the town’s newest resident and lawyer. What he doesn’t expect is for a woman to accuse him of scamming her out of money in the building he bought that she has a contract to open a bookstore. Paige is moving back to Freedom Valley to open a book store and to be close to her ailing grandfather who is living in a senior center. The last thing she needed was to lose the money and have no way to pay rent or keep up the payments for her grandfather’s care. So when her friend suggests she take a temporary job as Preston’s assistant, he really has no choice and the games begin.
I adored this opposites attract romance and I have to say the office pranks while not professional were quite amusing. Preston left his toxic family’s firm in Boston and he’s a bit uptight and proper and Paige is a ray of sunshine despite life not going her way at the moment. I enjoyed watching these two as they bicker and one up each other while slowing realizing how much they enjoy each other’s company. They have a connection they don’t even realize which I also loved, but most of all when Paige jumps to Preston’s defense I was seriously swooning.
