there is such chemistry between Shay and Noah, and you can tell just how much Noah has always been in love with Shay.

Books by Kate Canterbary (Author of In a Jam) - Goodreads

These characters were perfection and so easy to relate to, Shay with her love handles and small insecurities. There's acknowledgment of the ways in which small towns are difficult for anyone who doesn't fit in and the healing and forgiveness aspects really spoke to me. Also the aspects of being just utterly lonely and feeling completely un-loveable felt so raw, yet again was handled so tenderly.

No plot moppet, the foul-mouthed six-year-old is a fully developed character and her relationships with Shay and Noah are similarly developed. He has enough of his own without Sara Shapiro, the noisy new reconstructive surgeon, stomping all around his surgical wing with her chippy, chirpy cheerfulness. Neither are virgins (not clear on how long it'd been for h but H had been celibate for months since he became guardian for his niece).

In A Jam - Kate Canterbary

it was the perfect mix of sweetness and possessiveness i didn't know i needed, and i ate that shit right up. If I wasn’t forgettable, people wouldn’t be able to leave me so easily and go on with their lives like nothing was different. I’ve loved you for years upon fucking years and none of the garbage leftover from your ex or your mother or anyone else is going to change that. when shay discloses that she needs to get married to keep the land, noah offers to marry her… purely so he can have extra land for his farm… that’s absolutely the only reason. Nothing in her life is going as she expected, not inheriting her step-grandmothers farm and definitely not running into her high school best friend, Noah, who she hasn't seen since she left town and now runs the neighboring farm.This is a small town romance so plenty of scenes of small town life including festivals, football games, farmers markets, etc. To keep the farm, Shay has to meet certain demands according to the will, like living there half the year and getting married. This story definitely has some funny parts, some emotional scenes (for both Shay and Noah), and once the steam gets going, whew, it is h-o-t.

Noah had been in love with Shay since they were kids and he tries to maintain boundaries, but quickly succumbs to the need to care for her and the need to bask in her presence, even as he braces for her destroying him when she leaves (no third act breakup folks). All the animals were wonderful and it just reinforced my jealousy that Shay got the amazing dude and the awesome farm. Gennie has been through abandonment and trauma too, alongside her recent ADHD diagnoses, she needs Noah's steadiness more than ever. Slight ow drama from a woman who's pursuing H (who he has zero interest in) and some might find this to have slight om drama (from h's ex making a brief appearance, though neither wants the other back).For one thing, her former best friend Noah has expanded his family's farm into a diversified enterprise that makes everything from dairy products to jam to bread. She's scooped up by her friends (I was so happy she had a friend group) and is living on her bestie's couch when she is served with the will of her step-aunt, who has died and left her a tulip farm in Rhode Island. This book had several great tropes including friends-to-lovers, marriage of convenience, and found family.

They carry us around while we’re on this earth and there’s nothing more I can ask from my body than that. The steam level is standard Canterbary, which means there's plenty (and it's hot and intense) but it doesn't completely run the story. I felt like I’d been waiting a very long time for someone who knew how to shatter me and also wanted to pick up all the pieces. Totally and completely needy and obsessed for his woman and the sexy uncle vibes who totally loves his niece is GIVING!My mother's New Year's resolution for me was simple: make a serious effort at putting myself out there and dating again and do it for one full year.
