Description
Fashion designer Libby Griffin has had the week from hell--terminated from her job and heart-wrenching news from the doctor. Hoping for time alone to regroup, Libby rents a cabin on Grand Lake St. Mary's for five months. Right away she meets the most irritating man on the planet, who also happens to be drop-dead delicious.
Recently divorced author Maxwell August has a book due, and his muse has gone into hiding. With a chip on his shoulder, his writing in stuck-mode, he heads to the lake only to encounter a monumental distraction with blonde hair and hazel eyes.
Will these two right-brainers allow the off-the-charts attraction brewing between them to grow? Or deny it to focus on the things they think are more important and miss a chance at forever?

I was provided an ARC of this book by NetGalley for my honest review. This book was a 3.5 for me. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. The writing style was perfectly lovely, as was the editing/proofreading, which is an annoyance for me if it isn't well done. My issues were with the how the book moved along. I could have done with a little more angst and back and forth with the main characters. I'm perfectly fine with insta-love...but when the storyline has to do with a brooding, uncommunicative, bit of a jerk hero, I like a lot more buildup, conflict, and holding out on giving in to that inst-love by my hero. I like the moment that they realize they can't live without each other to be a bit more hard won. Of course there is fact that they don't communicate a main issue - if they'd just talk instead of assume...well, then I guess there wouldn't be a story at all.
