Things were not going well for Sam Meyers. At twenty-eight, Sam has well and truly accepted that he will never escape Smithfield. He’s spent most of his life there, after having been sent to live with his grandfather as a child, and looks likely to spend the rest of it there as well.The mystery of Aaron, why he was in Smithfield and how he was tied to the Meyers’ made up the bulk of Aaron and Sam. There were clues all through the book, so while the reveal wasn’t a big surprise, there was a little twist to it and was well resolved. There wasn’t all that much of a romance to speak of and what little there was certainly took a backseat to the mystery, and even to all the regular goings on at the B&B;, and only really became a focus of the story at the very end, making it feel rushed.The characters were great, including the secondary characters; fully developed, fun, interesting and felt like real people. I liked the light humour throughout the book – not too slapstick and although the Date Night cooking classes veered close to the line, they stayed firmly on the right side of it. The flirting between Aaron and Sam was adorable. The writing was good and flowed well, giving an overall enjoyable read.Read the full review at Live Your Life, Buy The Book
