Rekindle your belief in the magic of first love and the charm of small towns with Annie England Noblin's delightful friends-to-lovers romantic comedy, perfect for readers of Jill Shalvis and Sarah Adams.
Spring is in the air and Mylie has everything she could ever want: her tackle shop is thriving and employs a third of Clay Creek, Arkansas, and she lives with her beloved Granny and little sister Cassie, who both keep her on her toes. As tourists pour into town for the annual fishing tournament, Mylie is in her element and ready to bring her all-women team to victory.
After moving to Chicago, Ben never thought he would return to Clay Creek. But with both his grandfather and mother gone, he's left to deal with their estate. His plan is simple: come in quietly, fix up his lakeside childhood home, sell it quickly, and get out. He underestimates how quickly his arrival will stir up the local gossip, and how intensely his unresolved feelings for Mylie, his childhood best friend, will resurface.
Amid the buzz of competition and the rhythm of small-town life, Mylie and Ben find themselves unable to ignore their shared history. They tentatively explore a future together, despite the impending sale of Ben's house and Mylie's insistence on staying put in Clay Creek. Flings are easier said than done, and Mylie and Ben will have to address their clashing lifestyles before their feelings get away from them.
Told with Annie England Noblin's signature wit, cozy charm, and a dash of spice, Spring Fling is the perfect friends-to-lovers read.
Witty dialog, cute plot and a second chance at love, made this story a hit with me and I think everyone will love it too. ~ Amanda – Simply Love Books
Spring Fling was a delightful contemporary romance and it was a story that truly engaged me. I love small towns and all its quirks and Clay Creek, Arkansas had an abundance of charm and colorful characters. Ben and Mylie are given a second chance at a relationship when he returns to sell his family’s home and they reconnect once again. I thought the plot flowed well and that the love between them was a slow burn that eventually got ignited. The additional side characters also brought their own little stories to the main plot, which just enriched the story even more. What can I say, throw in adorable animals and I fall more in love with the story. Fat Tony the racoon and his antics was a hoot! I have to say the author is new to me but I loved her writing style and I will definitely be looking at her backlist of books. Witty dialog, cute plot and a second chance at love, made this story a hit with me and I think everyone will love it too.
