What to expect: Insta-attraction, opposites attract, he falls first, emotional wounds, long distance


BLURB
A hockey player writing you love letters? That's what happens when the man who is my opposite insists that he's the one for me.

Having a not-so-smooth check-in at a small town inn can be blamed on meeting Stone Madden, the cocky retired hockey star with a tight jawline. Apparently, he's the man behind the writer I assumed was a recluse with whom I'm stuck on a writing retreat. We couldn't be further apart, I write romance, and he writes about sports. At first sight, we both desire to make each day miserable due to our apparent lack of enthusiasm for one another. But it doesn't take long to discover that we click with an inflammable instant attraction. The fire I thought I'd lost inside of me begins to return.

Because of him.

Together, we unlock the unexpected, a strong bond we don't want to break after our retreat ends. And we don't.

There may be distance on a map between us, but our emails and my visits to his quirky small town bring us even closer.

Stone entered my life as the key to healing my emotional wounds and giving me my love story. Eventually, something has to give, and my heart can't handle the risk.

But Stone won't give up, and in retrospect, the moment our eyes first connected is when I should have known…

Stone and Harlow bring the feels and steam in this he-falls-first and instalove romance. It is the first standalone book in the Lake Spark Inn series, which is part of the Lake Spark world where small-town romance has a hint of hockey.

Authors note: Like all of my books, Should Have Known is a heartwarming, feel-good romance full of banter and steam. However, it does reference assault from the past (off-page).

MY REVIEW


Harlow has come to Lake Spark for a writer's retreat when she meets a man who instantly gets under her skin. Is it his snarky words? Or is it the heat running through those words that she can't shake? The more time they spend together, the more the sparks develop into something much more than just attraction. But Harlow's past trauma, and the distance between their lives will mean they have a lot of work to do to make this thing they've developed into something lasting.


I love it when the guy falls first, and damn did Stone fall, hard! He knew his feelings almost from the beginning, he was just waiting for Harlow to come to grips with how she was feeling. All her fears, all her insecurities from her trauma, had her waffling so much that it's a wonder Stone was as patient as he was. But given that trauma, her indecision was very understandable, and I hurt for her even though it was frustrating to read. Stone and Harlow's story is heartfelt, sweet, with all the steam you could ask for. I love them together, and can't wait for the next couple in Lake Spark to fall in love.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
