Synopsis:

Calvin Barnard is a hard-working New York stockbroker, focused entirely on his job. His life is simple until the day he gets a call from the lawyer of his late Great-Aunt Loretta. The great-aunt he barely knew has left him $10 million and a house in the tiny backwoods Oregon town of Carterville—but there's one condition. Before Calvin can get the money, he has three months to marry a girl from that same rural town. Suddenly, everything is complicated, as Calvin tries to figure out how his reclusive great-aunt had millions of dollars, what he’s going to do with her old dusty mansion, and which small-town girl will be willing to marry him on short notice. Interior designer Ellie Parker looks like the perfect solution to his problems: She’s beautiful, single, and available to fix up the old house. But when Calvin starts to feel more than sympathy for sweet Ellie, he’ll have to decide between the inheritance of a lifetime and the love of the most enchanting woman he’s ever met.


My Review:

This is one of the nicest rustic love stories I have ever read. The only problem for me was narrative style (you guys know I have a hard time reading like this) tho the story is so lovely I couldn’t put it down. It covers a lifetime change for Calvin. You get to follow the events that at the end brought Calvin and Ellie together. You fall in love with Carterville.


The theme of inheritance is slowly forgotten because what happens in the book and the character’s reactions to all those events. All you see are these two people who find themselves liking each other a bit too much and who are scare of letting those feelings go on when both have different lives.


Calvin’s fights for stop falling for Ellie falls the second their bond starts to get genuine and stronger. And then when things are getting so great between them, Ellie finds out about the condition to get the money and she thinks he played her. So, one minute I was frowning upon how Calvin treated Ellie and the other I was cheering for them like a mad-woman. This is what this book does to you.


As it changes Clavin’s perceptions on what really matters, it change yours as well. It opens your mind to situations you’d have normally dismissed without giving it a second chance, and of course it give us a very cute story of love and lifetime changes.
