Single mother Parker Welles grew up filthy rich, trust
fund and all. But when her father gets arrested for an
insider-trading scheme, she loses everything. Now she
needs to find a new home, get a job for the first time in
her life, and adjust to this new way of living.
Parker finds out she inherited a house in Maine at Gideon's
Cove and hopes flipping it into a quick sale will help with
her money situation. Unfortunately, the house is a shack
and an utter nightmare to clean out and repair.
James Cahill worked for Parker's father as his
lawyer/personal assistant of sorts. Without any money and
her father behind bars, James comes to Parker's rescue to
help her repair the house she inherited. He's always had a
thing for Parker but her attitude towards him is that he is
beneath her.
How will they get along while staying together at the house
for a couple weeks? Will they find there is chemistry
between them?
SOMEBODY TO LOVE is a beautiful, heartwarming, contemporary
romance novel by the fabulous Kristan Higgins. While long
at a hefty 425 pages, every page was pure perfection. The
relationship between Parker and James was a complicated one
and had so much depth to it. There are so many layers to
this story. All of the characters added something unique
with their relationship and family problems.
James is completely loveable and I rooted for him to have a
happily ever after. Parker could be snobby at times with
referring to James as ''Thing One'' which I detested. But
throughout the story we learn the reasons behind her
attitude towards James.
Everything fits together smoothly to make a beautifully
crafted novel. Gideon's Cove is a picturesque small town
where there's a local store and diner, and everyone
knows your name, your business, and your secrets. It is
the perfect escape and transition for Parker to become who
she truly is inside, which is far from the rich snob she
portrays.
If you're looking for a great contemporary romance to
devour in a weekend, SOMEBODY TO LOVE is definitely that
book. I enjoyed the escape and look forward to traveling
away with Kristan Higgins' characters in her next story.
Wherever they take me, I will follow.
After her father loses the family fortune in an insider-trading scheme, single mom Parker Welles is faced with some hard decisions. First order of business: go to Gideon's Cove, Maine, to sell the only thing she now owns—a decrepit house in need of some serious flipping. When her father's wingman, James Cahill, asks to go with her, she's not thrilled…even if he is fairly gorgeous and knows his way around a toolbox.
Having to fend for herself financially for the first time in her life, Parker signs on as a florist's assistant and starts to find out who she really is. Maybe James isn't the glib lawyer she always thought he was. And maybe the house isn't the only thing that needs a little TLC….
