Blog Tour & Review: Good as Gold

 

RELEASE DATE: MAY 29TH / JUNE 1ST, 2023

A swoony, heart-wrenching small-town romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller Sarina Bowen!

Leila:
What I meant to do: quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own.

What happens instead: my crush comes back to town when I’m at my most vulnerable. After too many cocktails, I ask him to be my baby’s father.

In my defense, it’s been a rough couple of months. Seeing Matteo Rossi again after fourteen years has done a number on my emotions. And my libido.

In the morning, I’m hoping he’s forgotten the whole thing. But no such luck. In fact, Matteo has a few clarifying questions. And a few naughty ideas, too…

Matteo:
What I meant to do: visit Vermont for my brother’s wedding. Make amends to my family, and mourn the loss of a friend.

What happens instead: a hot affair with the one who got away. But it can’t last. My life is two thousand miles away, and Leila deserves everything. She’s as good as gold.

I love the author's True North series and this first book with the Giltmaker family takes us right back to the beautiful Vermont area that we have come to love.  Vermont is the summer is dreamy and small towny and just perfect for falling in love. Or have they never fallen out of love. 

Matteo and Leila were best friends alk through school. But then he turned 18 and left town and never looked back.  They both made some poor choices and had some baggage. But when Matteo returns for his brother's wedding, it's like they were never apart. 

It is kind of second chance romance but a heavy dose of friends to lovers. Great to catch up on lots of familiar faces in this one.  Leila and Matteo were meant to be.  Loved meddling family and hard to love family as well.  

I am very much looking forward to Leila's brother's stories. Those should be good ones!  Loved the epilogue! I can't wait to catch up with this family again in future books.
