Somebody Like You: A Darling, VT Novel (Darling, VT Novel, #1)

by Donna Alward

Welcome to Darling, Vermont, an idyllic little town in northern Vermont, where romance isn't just in the air - it's also a booming industry! And while the town might be renowned for romance, there are three who want nothing to do with it at all: the Gallagher brothers. When they were five years old, Aiden and Laurel were the subject of a picture on the town's famed Kissing Bridge, where local legend has it a kiss on the bridge means eternal love. The picture has been a part of the town's tourism campaign for twenty years. Now the council wants to recreate the picture for a new anniversary promotion. Only problem: Aiden and Laurel haven't spoken since high school. And there's nothing recently divorced Laurel wants less than to pretend happily ever after with an old flame. Will this kiss lead to a second chance at love for two hearts in need of healing?

3.5 stars mainly due to the heroine. BUT I'm definitely going to read the next book in the series.

I am a sucker for a good romance with tension, misunderstandings and plenty of heat! Aiden and Laurel have known each other since they were little children and as teenagers were hot for each other but boys being boys.... let's just say that Laurel has been harboring a grudge against Aiden for a long time! Laurel has recently moved back to her hometown of Darling, VT. and has just crossed paths with Aiden. Oh boy the heat and tension between them jumped off the pages. Did I say that Aiden is dreamy ? Well he is beyond hot and dreamy and Laurel is having a hard time staying mad! As far as the town of Darling, VT goes? It is definitely a place that I would love to visit, Vermont being one of my favorite places to vacation and Darling sounds quaint and pretty. There is more to the story of course than all the heat between these two, Aiden has a good heart as does Laurel and they  help out a homeless man and become his champion. I thought that was a great part to this story, I won't give too much away but the author manages to convey the wonderful moral that you never can judge a book by it's cover, you never know who that homeless person really is and you may be surprised.

We meet Aiden's boisterous and fun loving siblings and parents, I am hoping that the next books feature more of them :) We also meet Laurel's friend Willow, whom I already love because of her health food cafe and her love of yoga!

This book has me wanting more of these characters.This review was originally posted on A WordPress Site
