Ethan Smith:

Friend? Yes. Foe? Probably. Enemy? Maybe. Lover? Hopefully!

After being left at the altar on her wedding day, big city financier Allie Strickland returns to her quirky hometown by the ocean hoping for peace and quiet to get over her fiancé’s betrayal.

On the very first night, Allie’s nerves are shattered when an unexpected intruder breaks into the house while she’s taking a bubble bath. The man is devastatingly handsome but she soon learns that he’s using a fake name and has old ties to Heartland Cove. Forced by weird circumstances to share the same rental house, Allie’s suspicions grow—even as she finds herself attracted to him.

When her ex-fiancé shows up one night begging for a second chance, who can Allie trust—or will her own heart betray her?

This sweet and clean small-town romance will have you turning the pages all night long!

Review

What Readers are saying about Kimberley's Romance Novels: This was a very moving romance about loss and moving forward with life and forgiveness. It shows how much we can inhibit our growth after a devastating event. Recommend this for teens to adults, along with a few Kleenex. I absolutely loved this book! It is a touching & emotional story about family, friendship, love, and faith. A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE!!All those Happily Ever After lovers out there, this is a story for you to grab, snuggle up with a comfy blanket and get lost in the love story of two characters who are not perfect but growing, healing and learning to love and be loved. Be warned that you might just be sucked into it and not want to set it down or to say goodbye to these characters once the final page has been read. I can't recommend this one enough! I love Kimberley's novels! They're romantic with great characters and settings, plus every single book is fresh and different and swoon-worthy!

Imagine being left at the altar—the humiliation and embarrassment one would feel. This is what happened to Allie Strickland on her wedding day. Her fiancé, Sean Carter, the man she believed she truly loved and would spend the rest of her life with, texts her saying that he’s sorry, but he must search out a missing client. A smart and up-and-coming lawyer, Sean will do anything to advance in his career, even if it means leaving his bride stranding on their wedding day.
Allie flees to her hometown of Heartland Cove, away from the big city of Toronto, to lick her wounds and decide what to do with her life. Her town is well known as a tourist attraction and her parent’s own a French fry business that thrives on the tourist bus trade. Wanting to be alone, Allie rents a delightful Victorian home to decide her future. Her first night in her new residence, she is enjoying a leisurely bubble bath when she is shocked by a devilishly handsome man enter her bathroom. What the heck? Turns out the man, Ethan is the actual owner of the house, left to him by his grandmother, and he didn’t know it was rented. Come to find out, Allie is adamant about living there, and when he states he has no other place to stay, they call a truce and decide to share the house.
Little does Allie know, Ethan starts to wear on her, and she senses a strong attraction. But how can this be so when she was supposedly so in love with Sean? It seems Ethan remembers Allie from when they were younger, and he had feelings for her then, and decides he wants to win her over. He allegedly is in town as a photographer, but Allie soon learns he has other intentions. What is he up to?
The is a sweet, fast-paced read that shows the meaning of true love.

If I had been left at the altar not only would I DIE of embarrassment and shame, I'd probably move to another town or city where no one knew me. Poor Allie's been planning her wedding for months, and packed up an apartment she loves to move to her fiancé's place after the wedding, and the man she loves and has been with for 5 years, chooses to put his court case above marrying her by not showing up and sending her an I'm sorry text!! Well, they do say actions speak louder than words, and Sean Carter's actions have spoken pretty loud if you ask me.

Allie goes back home to figure out what she wants to do next. She rents a small house for the summer, because who wants to live with their parents while trying to recuperate from a shattered heart. She's completely taken by surprise when a stranger lets himself into the house while she's soaking in the bath. This is one of the funniest scenes and laughed out loud. I also laughed when they first shared the house and Allie strung the rope dividing the house in half. Ethan is a little secretive and it makes Allie (and the reader) wonder what he's up to and if it's good or bad.

First of all I loved Ethan--he's sweet, patient and the complete opposite of Allie's ex Sean. His character is so easy to like, and I enjoyed finding out what his 'secret' was.

Sean, the guy who chose work over showing up at his own wedding, takes a few days off of work and shows up to try to win Allie back. He's such a jerk and so full of himself I was amazed that Allie had dated him for so long. I guess love really can make people blind, but his plan to win Allie back in three days certainly opened up her eyes.

Speaking of Allie, sometimes she was a bit much--too whiny at the beginning but I gave her a break because she was left at the altar, but later on she could be kind of rude.

All in all this is a fun story. This is a clean romance.

Allie is left at the altar by Sean, which I think is a blessing in disguise as he is a total jerk and completely self-possessed. Their relationship had red flags all over it, but somehow Allie didn't see it, despite the fact that her fiance does what helps him with little or no regard for what she needs or wants.

Allie goes back home and ends up inadvertently renting a house that wasn't supposed to be available yet due to the owner planning to live there for awhile. The realtor's mistake leads to misunderstandings and embarrassment for Allie when Ethan walks in while she is taking a bath. They end up sharing the house and that leads to some funny moments as well as the two of them getting to know each other better.

Sean comes back to town, trying to manipulate Allie into marrying at a justice of the peace so he can get back to work and Allie actually almost agrees.Thankfully, she comes to her senses and tells him she isn't going to do that. Then the jerk starts physically trying to get her outside and causes her to get hurt. And he doesn't even try to help when that happens, but Ethan comes to her aid. Very nice ending.

This was a really nice love story. Utterly Hot Ethan and the smart and sassy Allie.

Being left at the altar, jilted, hurt and embarrassed, a betrayed Allie returns to her home town of Heartland Cove to recuperate and find her way back to light.

Allie rents out a lovely small Victorian house. However an unexpected intruder breaks into her home to find her in the bath where she's trying to get away and relax from anything and everything. However it's due to miscommunication and a very big misunderstanding Ethan and Allie become so called roommates, both with their own secrets.

However over time they become friends, and their feelings develop into something more. This is a journey of self discovery for Allie with the help of Ethan.

This is a lovely love story with a HEA. Thank you Kimberley for a lovely read.
