Cherry Tree Harbor Book 4: Small Town Swoon by Melanie Harlow

 

Cherry Tree Harbor Book 4

Only in the movies does the Hollywood heartthrob fall for the small town diner waitress.

So when Dashiel Buckley returns to Cherry Tree Harbor for a wedding, I’m determined not to let my massive crush on my best friend’s older brother hijack my good sense.

(It happened once before. Do not recommend.)

But when my hand is injured, it’s Dash who steps in at the diner. The moment he realizes I can’t afford to fix my car, he takes care of it. And when he hears about the way my toxic ex treated me, he refuses to let it go.

Now it’s not just his blue eyes and sexy smile that have me swooning, it’s the way he wants to help me. Encourage me. Protect me.

I can’t resist.

Our text messages heat up. Our phone calls melt all my defenses. “Just friends” turns into “just once,” and “just once” becomes a distant memory. Night after night, he warms my bed, my body, and my heart.

But it can’t last.

Our dreams have us on two different paths–Dash wants the lights, camera, action of Hollywood, and I’ll always be a small town girl.

If only I could be his.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

It’s finally Ari and Dash’s story and it was great! Been waiting patiently to hear about these two and it was worth the wait. Ari has had feelings for Dash for a very long time. And a naive teen version of herself tried to do something about her crush but it didn’t go very well. Back then, a tragedy, eight years later, she knows Dash was being a good guy. Doesn’t mean she can’t hold a little grudge. But any negative feelings she had for him is dashed away when he returns home. Dash has been struggling to get his acting career moving in a different direction. And when he is told he needs to stop burying all his emotions and let himself feel vulnerable, he ends up back home. He’s always thought Ari was beautiful and threw the years, it’s only proven more true every day. But he doesn’t do relationships. He just can’t. And what starts as them trying to reconnect as friends and staying, slowly shifts to more. He can’t stay away from her and they help one another in just the everyday little things. And it is just adorable! You can’t help but love these two and how they support one another in everything they do. And it’s only a matter of time before the two of them realize that what they have is worth everything.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
