City dweller, Lynette (Lyn) Desmond now turned unexpected heiress has inherited a quaint cottage property from her late grandmother, setting her to flee her urban cage to resurrect a weathered cottage in idyllic Acres Village.
She struggles to fit into this tight-knit community of people who seem to know more about her family than her. Including her new neighbor, Marshall Vale—a sun-kissed cowboy whose tender heart is rivaled only by his mischievous nature and is always without a shirt.
Lyn does her best to ignore the cowboy who seems to like getting in her sink, and focus on the task at hand: rebuilding her cottage. However, she is drawn to his charms, fate orchestrating their collisions, sparking a long dormant desire between Lynette and Marshall.
Excerpt:
I stumble my way through the foliage and push past plants with outstretched branches. I have a scrape on my left palm and the beginning of a bruise on the right knee, but I press further forward. I manage to open up a shed tucked in the back of the garden. Fairy dust dances under the sunlight. There are things in here I expect to find in an old shed—gardening tools, an old school looking lawn mower, some water pitchers, garden rake, a water hose, and other junk thrown in here. I dig through the junk and spot a flowerpot stacked on top of other things. My fingers struggle to reach for it, considering it was so high up and I am blocked by other junk in my way.
I force my way through the junk. Unfortunately that causes something in the back to inevitably crash into the flowerpot which shatters the moment it hits the ground. “Shit.” I hiss out from the annoyance of having to clean all of this mess.
“What’re you doing?”
I flinch at the sudden male voice behind me. “Stop doing that!” I tell Marshall, who is somehow in my garden, then I realize I don’t have a fancy fence like him so anyone can just walk right into my backyard. Marshall stands tall in my view. Today, he wears a skintight black shirt that I can see imprints of his muscles through. His overall pants hang over his waist, the red straps hanging loosely on one shoulder and the other sitting properly on his broad shoulder. He kinda looks like a firefighter.
“Can I borrow some sugar?” he asks.
“You walked all the way here for sugar?”
He shares a sheepish smile. “Okay, I just needed an excuse to leave the house.”
“Don’t you have friends or something?”
“Ouch, it seems like you don’t want me here. Maybe I should drive to the other side of town to talk to my friends instead of my friendly neighbor.”
“Please do, I’m quite busy today.” I fiddle with the fallen junk in the shed. I can feel his stare linger on me, making my skin burn. He wears a slight grin once I turn to him again.
“Word of advice, Lynette—bees love the color yellow.”
“Thanks for pointing out the obvious.”
Marshall’s gaze falls on to the shed … busy still lingering in my garden. “What are you planning today? I never really see you outside the house unless Rosemary visits you.”
“I’m trying to revive my garden.”
“Glad to know that I played a part in inspiring you to take care of your garden.”
“What makes you think that?”
“Don’t lie. I saw the way your face lit up when you saw my garden, playing with my cattle and everything.”
I breathe out. “Go away, please.”
“You can make a lot of money selling your flowers in the Annual Flower Fair. Tourists will love it.”
“I would love that, but I can’t keep myself alive.”
He chuckles. “Maybe I can help you with that.”
“Keeping me alive?”
“That too.” His lips spread lopsidedly.
Is he flirting with me right now on a boring summer day? I keep my composure, no matter how much he is eyeing me down right now. “Why are you even helping me? I’m sure you have other important things to do.”
“Since you helped me out with my garden, I suppose I can return the favor.”
I pause. “That is surprisingly nice of you.”
“I’ve always been nice, you just want to paint me as a bad guy.”
“Okay, since you’re in a nice mood today, then show me the basics.” The last plant I had was a rare plant my dad got me from Brazil. It was a pretty pink tulip that sprouted at least once every two weeks. I didn’t have to do anything other than water the plant twice a week. One day I was too lazy to water the plant so I left it outside to get watered by nature’s trusted water source. On that same night, there was a rainstorm that lasted the entire night. Let’s just say my plant was nothing but pieces of petals on the concrete floor.
Marshall takes the plant from my hand. Our fingers are brushing each other. “As you wish, Lynette.”
I really enjoyed this book. It has some parts were a little bit… let’s just say, that some tweaks are needed.
The characters are fun to meet, along with some that you want to open hand them…
Let’s talk about the chemistry between Marshall and Lynette. Their chemistry is one that opens your heart and mind to the idea of having found that special place and person. Even Hubert will have you dodging birds…lol read the book… no spoilers here…
Now. Although this is the first time I’ve ever read anything from this author. I’m really excited and looking forward to seeing what can be.
Any opinions, recommendations, or suggestions expressed within this review our Solely and uniquely made by me. I originally and voluntarily received in advance copy of this book the Bsprout.

Steamy
Written by Danee on 3rd May 2025
This is the story of Lynette and Marshall. They meet when she returns home when she inherits a house because her grandmother has died. Once back, she stays in the house and every dad sees her sexy muscular neighbor running around without a shirt. The more they get to know each other, their feelings for each other become stronger, but they will have a chance to deepen their relationship, when her parents make it difficult because they want her to come back to town and an ex who doesn't really understand the concept of ex knows. I enjoyed their story and the romance, twists and turns and love and passion.

Under the Rose Tree!
Written by Mary on 3rd May 2025
This story is about Lynette and Marshall. It is a city girls meets cowboy type story. Lyn's boyfriend of five years has just broken up with her and she finds she has inherited a cottage from her late grandmother. She cannot decide to keep it or sell it. When she meet Marshall, a carpenter and gardener, meets Lyn and sparks fly. I enjoyed this story and the drama. It is interesting and intriguing with action, steam, family, passion, ups, downs and more.

Sweet

This one was a little short, but it has such a sweet story line. The annoying neighbor becomes the lover, a community comes together. Very much a small-town romance with a HEA.

Good but could be Great
Written by Suek on 3rd May 2025
This was a new author for me. I found the book was interesting but had some distinct problems that pulled me out of the reading.
I had a hard time with the MFC, Lyn. She inherited a small cottage when her grandmother passes away. Gram's last requests is that her ashes be placed here. Even though grandmother never mentioned living here or its tie to complex family background of Lyn, she makes the trip.
My frustration with this character is the constant back and forth of sell or stay. Even as she sort of starts fixing up the place, she is halfhearted in her efforts. Still mentally flip flopping about staying or selling. While it's a natural question when she first arrives, Lyn spends way too much time on the issue.
I did enjoy the banter between Lyn and Marshal, her next-door neighbor and potential love interest? Complicating that situation is Dante, Lyn's ex-boyfriend who is more involved with Lyn's family past than she ever expected.
The story and plot are well done. The pacing got a little slow in the middle, but the conclusion of the book makes it worthwhile. The intrigue around grandma's past connection to the town and where Dante fits into all this is well imagined.
I would recommend this book, but I would caution about the pacing.

Good Book

This is the first book I've read written by Jullian Amena; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
She has written a good stand-alone book. The story is about Lyn & Marshall.

Great read
Written by Laura Ann on 3rd May 2025
After five years of dating, Lynette’s boyfriend broke up with her. Dante is someone that her parents approved of, from what they did know about him. However, Lyn didn’t tell her parents everything because they are very controlling. Lyn is a Desmond and there are rules in their lives. Gladys Monroe, is Lyn’s mom’s mom, and her grandmother just passed. She leaves Lyn a little cottage where she is to bring her urn of Gladys’ remains and put it in its proper place. The cottage is in Acres County in Northern California and it has been in the family for generations. Lyn was fine with going there. But, her parents expectations once again drive her crazy. She meets and befriends the Ford family as Ester, the matriarch of the family was her grandmother Gladys’ best friend growing up. Another person she meets is Marshall, who they end up having a like/dislike relationship. Their interactions are both eye rolling and hilarious. Marshall’s cat Midnight is a normal cat in that the cat owns Marshall and decides to own Lyn too. Lol. She thinks she should sell the cottage, so she begins to fix it up. Things get a little crazy and we find out that Dante is more of a piece of work than we thought when the story began. I enjoyed the book, but it had some slow spots that drove me crazy. Plus, there were a few points in the book where I was like, you say what now? Lol

I found the book was interesting but had some distinct problems that pulled me out of the reading.\r\n\r\nI had a hard time with the MFC, Lyn. She inherited a small cottage when her grandmother passes away. Gram's last requests is that her ashes be placed here. Even though grandmother never mentioned living here or its tie to complex family background of Lyn, she makes the trip.\r\n\r\nMy frustration with this character is the constant back and forth of sell or stay. Even as she sort of starts fixing up the place, she is halfhearted in her efforts. Still mentally flip flopping about staying or selling. While it's a natural question when she first arrives, Lyn spends way too much time on the issue. \r\n\r\nI did enjoy the banter between Lyn and Marshal, her next-door neighbor and potential love interest? Complicating that situation is Dante, Lyn's ex-boyfriend who is more involved with Lyn's family past than she ever expected.\r\n\r\nThe story and plot are well done. The pacing got a little slow in the middle, but the conclusion of the book makes it worthwhile. The intrigue around grandma's past connection to the town and where Dante fits into all this is well imagined.\r\n\r\nI would recommend this book, but I would caution about the pacing.
