This is the third book in the Maine Lumberjack series. However, this was my first book. Although each is a standalone they are connected and I think it’s beneficial to read all the books in order. In this book Cole and Willa accidentally get married in Vegas and decide to stay in this marriage of convenience. Cole is a hockey player and generally a very nice guy. Cole had a career ending injury and his unfortunate childhood has shaped him to really not want or expect too much and he pushed people away because he didn’t feel like he mattered. Now Willa is a doctor who is dependable, she’s protective and nurturing. I loved how she was always there for Cole defending him and taking care of him. This is a slow burn story that is very funny and you will definitely enjoy the small town vibes. I really wished I had read the other books because there is a mystery in the town and it seems as if it was started in the earlier books. Very enjoyable story.
