**MINI-REVIEW**

The Bottom Line:  I read this books weeks ago and somehow managed to forget to write a review ☹  With that said, when I sat down to write this, all happy feelings and thoughts about this book came flooding back to me.  This is a wonderful mix of a light and heavy read.  Abby is simply ridiculous in the best way possible and Hunter is grumpy and growly in the best way possible.  When the two butt heads early on, you can see instantly see their attraction to one another.  Through a series of well-intentioned mishaps, Abby and Hunter draw closer to one another and learn to understand and accept one another for who they are.  Some of the best moments in the book involve Hunter trying to figure out how to fix yet another mess Abby has created.  Her big heart and his grumpy nature make for some very funny, very serious, and very heartwarming encounters.  In all, I found this book to be a happy little read.

Debbie Mason does it again!  This was a wonderful romance that left me in happy tears. There was some mystery, lots of laughs, and a few angry moments where you felt bad for Abby. I love a good house flip or fix up storyline. I am excited to see where future books go.

Summer on Honeysuckle Ridge is the first book in Debbie Mason’s Highland Falls Series.  I am so excited to start this new series by Ms. Mason.  If you like small town romance that is action packed this is the book for you.  I was drawn in from the first page and I did not want to put this book down.  The story was very well written the characters well defined.  You will laugh out loud one minute and the have tears in your eyes the next.  This will definitely make an awesome new series.  I am anxiously waiting for the next book.

This was a great read!  Well-written, likable characters made this book a joy to read.  It had emotion and humor.  It had a hunky hero and a spunky heroine.  Very entertaining and fulfilling read.  Highly recommended.

Simply wonderful, a great start to a series and I couldn’t put it down. Everything is sweet by Debbie Mason, a great summer read!

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book. Unfortunately this one was a DNF for me. Could be my current reading mood, but it was a little too slow paced for me. I had some trouble connecting with the story and the characters. I blame COVID!

I love this authors books. She has a lovely style of writing. This book was no different I really enjoyed it. I couldn’t put it down . Good plot and very well written

What a charming read! Delightful beach reading. I really enjoyed the banter between Abby and Hunter. 

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

I LOVE this book!! I thought it was such a cute and funny book I was scared of this book because I still have a series hangover from Debbie Mason's Harmony Harbor series ending, but this book exceeded my expectations! Can't wait for next book in series!.

After a failed marriage Abby moves to Honeysuckle ridge with her dog to a small farm house she inherits from her Aunt. She gets more than she bargains for when she finds out the Hunter also inherited some land from her aunt. This is a lighthearted , comical romance and is a wonderful start to Debbie Mason’s new series.  As always , Debbie delights with her wonderful story line.
    Thank you Netgalley and publisher for an ARC for my honest opinion .

Sweetly sexy, fun, emotionally thrilling and action packed journey filled with engaging charters, witty banter, heart racing twists and exciting passion. Was a great and heartwarming journey from the beginning to the end.

Received in exchange for a honest review.

When I first began the book, I did not like Abby. I found her to be a snob. She seemed to look down at people who weren’t in the lifestyle she once was. Now she is at the bottom and having to go up again. She started, like mentioned, as a snob but as she realized that her life was superficial she got to be a liked character. Was she a hot mess? Yes. Did she have to learn and start to listen to others? Yes. Did she care about others? Yes she just didn’t always help them in the best ways. She didn’t think before wanting to help and sometimes that gets her in messes.

Hunter was a loner. He wasn’t always like that but due to in his past, he felt guilt and went into being alone in the woods. Abby starts to disrupt his peace. At first he doesn’t really get along with him. She sees he is sexy but frustrating. For him, she is stuck up city girl in over her head. But things change as she starts to try to fix up the house and he helps her. He sees her as someone in a bad situation. Sees she has a good heart but doesn’t always think before she does things. She acts first. They learn about one another and start to grow on each other.

Then Abby begins to see a way to get back into the life she thinks she wants back, only in the process she does do things that can hurt Hunter. She and Hunter start out rocky and become friends and eventually lovers. Hunter begins to see a future with her but she does something that hurts him. These two misunderstand each other and almost lose something precious but find a way back to one another. 

The story is fun and flirty. We see Hunter go from recluse to semi-recluse Abby helps him to open up again and see that life is worth living. That he needs to forgive himself and let go but not forget. Abby learns that her old life wasn’t what she wanted. That she wasn’t really living but being. She was trying to just fit in and not being herself. Hunter helps her see this. So does being in Honeysuckle ridge fixing up the house and trying to make it what it once was and making friends and finding love.

Ohhh my!!!! My first thoughts after I finished this book was oh wow! I need more!!! The story ends with such a great HEA. I  mean seriously I need book 2 in the series NOW. I wasn't sure what to expect. The blurb sounded good but you never know. Then I started reading and I honestly didn't want to stop. This is one of those stories where you'll want to hid in the bathroom for hours so you can read and somehow don't be interrupted. Yes it's one of those reads. I didn't know how it would end, I worried that I'd end up being so caught up in these peoples' lives and end up with a cliff-hanger or an unsatisfying HEA...but author Debbie Mason did a great job. From beginning to end I loved everything from the hero and heroine to the characters around them to the town of Highland Falls. It helps that the book is set in NC I mean seriously I always love stories set in NC....but Highland Falls.....man I need to visit this little mountain town. I still chuckle over some scenes just remembering them as I write this review. The story is well-written, engaging and delightful on all levels. The characters are realistic, funny, at times eye-rolling worthy, and so very awesome you'll wish they were real. Fans of small town romances with outstanding characters and heartfelt story will love SUMMER ON HONEYSUCKLE RIDGE. This is one of those that you want to run out and buy tons of copies and give to strangers on the street. It's that good. Pick up your copy today....just be prepared you'll be ready for book 2(when can I read it???) and you'll be ready to hid somewhere and just read. You'll fall in love with the setting and the characters. I highly recommend SUMMER ON HONEYSUCKLE RIDGE to EVERYONE. Don't miss this one!!!

This book was a perfect summer read and leaves you wanting more.  Looking forward to the next in the series.  I definitely recommend this book.

Abby went from pretty much having it all then down on her luck. But fortunately for her she ended up inheriting a home but finds its in disrepair. Oh also that a guy is apparently living on the property. Now with the help of the guy Hunter she can see if theres a way to get the house repaired so that she can be on her way but it seems this town and Hunter might change everything for her, for the better.

So I'm always a sucker for the enemies to lovers trope and this was perfect for me. I loved seeing that push and pull between the two and both give as much as they gave. Really I enjoyed it and it wasn't where they would bring eachother down in a negative way, clearly they weren't a fan of one another and had to learn to deal with that issue. There was also the whole issues of selling the property when others around and in town didn't want that house sold because everyone was such a tight knit community. Abby really didn't know her great-aunt and had no ties and it was interesting seeing everyone input on the whole situation clearly everyone looked out for one another, and on the plus side she got to learn a bit more about her family member while being around. I loved the whole opposites attract things going on with the two as well. Abby was so bubbly and kind, Hunter was kinda a loner and gruff and it was fun watching them interact and seeing that attraction between the two. Such an enjoyable read, I pretty much binge read it though it was just so easy to fall into this book.

Complementary copy given for honest review and opinion from Netgalley. 
This was a precious romantic comedy. I enjoyed the entire book with the comedy and hot guys.  I would give this to anyone that loves a good, clean romance.
