I fell in love with the town and all it's quirky characters right off the bat. The main characters (Sam & Lily)are as different as night and day. He loves all things earth tones & he also loves neat and orderly. Lily on the other hand is the complete opposite of Sam. She loves bright vibrant colors, and she doesn't even know the meaning of neat and orderly.He loves the convenience of city life, she loves everything about living in a small town.A relationship between the two of them shouldn't work, but it does.Sam inherits his family home where his mother grew up as a child. The only problem is that it's in a small hick town called Brownings, Indiana, andhe works and lives in Tempe, Arizona. The solution...he needs to go to Brownings to clear out his mother house and put it on the market as soon as possible, so he can get back home again. Why the hurry, you ask? It's because he's up for a big promotion at the college where he's been teaching, which will mean he'll make a lot more money and he'll also have much more prestige.Lily grew up in Brownings, but left there to go ff to college. She stayed away for a few years after she'd graduated, but something kept calling her back home. So she moves back to Brownings and before long, she becomes not only the Town Mayor, but the head of Utilities dept, and head of the towns Welcoming Wagon, and she also owns a Novelty Shop of her own as well. So her life is very busy, but her main goal right now is to bring the failing town Brownings back to life again.When they first meet Sam thinks she's a total air head, and Lily thinks he's an ungrateful spoiled city boy. The more time they spend together, the more their opinions of each other suddenly start to change.Would I recommend this book? Yes! It's a well written story, and it's also a nice clean story that just about everyone can enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I like a good hot steamy love story like the next person too. And I also like stories that are filled with suspense, but..sometimes I just enjoy reading a squeaky clean, feel good story once in a while too.
