Sizzle by Carrie Aarons is now live!
Everyone knows that if there was an award for biggest small town grump, Liam Ashton would win for Hope Crest, Pennsylvania no questions asked.
The reclusive, brooding farmer might be part of the family business and do anything for those closest to him, but his bark keeps almost everyone else away. Perhaps that's what happens when you fall in love at first sight but aren't allowed to be with the soulmate you didn't realize you were looking for.
When the forbidden woman of his dreams blows back into town, he might finally get a shot to convince her they're destined to be together. Only, her denials and refusals won't let him get anywhere near her.
Gabrielle Murphy swore she'd never return to the town where she took her first teaching job. She'd done the right thing, once upon a time, and there is no room to question what if.
But when the only woman who ever understood her passes and leaves her to clean up the pieces, she can't exactly say no. Get in, fulfill her grandmother's wishes, and get out. That's the plan. Until Liam confronts her and they give in to the unmatched inferno that's been blazing between them forever.
Even though there is nothing standing in the way of a happily ever after this time, Gabrielle still can't let this surly version of the Liam she once knew love her completely.
Until a surprise binds them to each other for the foreseeable future, and they have to forgive enough to move forward. But just as the ice around their hearts starts to thaw, darker outside forces threaten to ruin their chance before it's even taken.

MY REVIEW
The timing wasn't right for Gabrielle and Liam back then, his senior year of high school, and her first year as a teacher. But it's been years since she left, now she's back and there's nothing standing in their way of being together. Nothing except her obvious objections and Liam's grumpy attitude. When she left after not even having given him a chance, he changed. He's no longer the easygoing boy he was at 19. Now he's a grumpy adult with scars on his heart because he never got to be with the one he fell in love with at first sight. If only he could convince Gabrielle that they're not forbidden any longer.
The strict, traditional way Gabrielle was raised is still affecting her to this day. It's why she refuses to give into the feelings she's had for Liam for so long. But if she thought Liam was relentless back then, she absolutely is not prepared for how determined and persistent adult Liam is. Her heart has her own scars, but Liam's determination is having a serious affect on her now. Will she finally realize how good they can be together?
Liam and Gabrielle's story has so many obstacles, but in the end love prevails. The angst is high as are the feels. I felt so much for Liam especially, as Gabrielle was just so stubbornly insistent that they couldn't be together. Honestly, she isn't my favorite character in this charming series. Her ridiculous reasons for not wanting to be together drove me nuts and I found myself not connecting to her the way I connected to Liam and the other characters in this small town world. There's a bit of suspense , adding another layer to the story, and in the end I was glad they finally found their way to each other.
