One property.
Two potential owners.
And a battle they never expected to fight for— their hearts.
Even as a child, Ava Kelly dreamed of owning her own bakery,
and with the help of her uncle and best friend, she made it happen. Then the
store front next door becomes available, and the opportunity arises to expand
her business—except there’s one giant problem.
After former Air Force pilot Maxwell ‘Max’ Ellis lost his
leg during the war, he opened his own MMA gym in Cooper’s Cove, GA to channel
his grief and anger. When the store next to him comes up for rent, he discovers
his chance to grow the business and help other men like himself. Unfortunately
there’s one tiny problem: Ava, and the fact that he’s falling for her.
When her dangerous ex returns to town and disaster strikes,
will they be able to overcome the threat and find the perfect recipe for love?

I am a sucker for small town stories and Cooper's Cove is really a great setting. I devour books like this all the time. Also, Ava is a baker, to me that = perfect heroine. She's also really a nice lady. I wasn't sure what to make of Max at first. He seemed like every ex-military hero I've read about, down to his disability. He comes across as arrogant and really hard to like at first, though Ava was just as stubborn when it comes to the the expansion of her business.
What I really loved was how they both changed in their feelings for one another and how it built nicely into love. From the beginning, Max sets to protect her, even when he has no real reason to. She was just a thorn in his side.
The two of them really start to be perfect for each other. There's attraction. There's a commonality in wanting to succeed in their businesses. Both are ambitious, but both are also caring.
Max proved himself when things started happening at the bakery too. Then Ava stepping up to learn more about his PTSD.
These were two made for each other characters. I had my reservations at first, but by the end, they both won me over.
This was a fantastic read and a great start to a series. I hope Ava's friend Eliza is the next book. (fingers crossed)
