Blurb:

From the author of Falling for the Fake Lumberjack comes a laugh-out-loud scorcher about a burned-out wedding planner and broken-down linebacker brought together by fate—and a booking snafu.

Wrangling lumberjacks for Star Lake’s Fall Fest has wedding and event planner Annabelle Franklin ready to saw some serious wood. When her best friend suggests a staycation, she’s all in. Too bad the cabin she books is already occupied—by a brawny Scot who just won’t budge.

The good news? Callum “Maverick” McBride has abs to spare and a voice that could fell trees (and drop panties). Did I mention he owns two kilts? Recuperating from surgery, the Arizona linebacker just wants privacy. And since he was there first, he refuses to give an inch.

As sparks start melting the ice between them, they concede to sharing the cabin. But after crashing a wedding—and waking up hungover with matching gold rings—any boundaries established are quickly forgotten.

Turns out Annabelle and Callum’s marriage is legit. And fate has another wee surprise in store. They discover that sometimes the best mistakes in life are the ones you choose to keep.

In this enchanting contemporary romance, we meet Callum “Maverick” McBride, a defensive lineman sidelined by injury, and Annabelle, a wedding planner desperate for a much-needed break from her stressful life. What begins as a simple cabin booking mishap—double-booked by both protagonists—quickly blossoms into a spirited tale of witty banter, unexpected chemistry, and tender romance. This book stands out as a refreshingly fun and flirtatious read that kept me smiling and laughing from start to finish, which is exactly why it deserves a closer look. Annabelle is a brilliant heroine whose sharp wit and wicked sense of humor leap off the page. Her quick exchanges with Callum make their interactions feel genuine and electric, full of spontaneous laughter and playful teasing. Callum, initially framed as somewhat grumpy, unfolds as an irresistibly charming, flirtatious, and swoon-worthy hero. His personality shines through in moments of humor and tenderness, giving him a winning depth beyond his tough exterior. The chemistry between these two is palpable; their dynamic taps into a delightful opposites-attract trope that feels fresh here. From their shared adventures akin to mischievous teenagers causing lighthearted chaos to their effortless rapport, the couple is a joy to root for. Specific highlights include the brilliant concept of their cabin “rules” until the double-booking is resolved and the hilarious wedding-crashing episode, which adds both comedy and sweetness to the plot. What truly elevates the story is the rich characterization and the emotional beats that balance humor with genuine warmth. Callum is affectionate without being overbearing; his protective nature is a comforting presence rather than an imposition. Annabelle’s occasional freak-outs paired with Callum’s steady embrace of their new, unexpected life together create a believable and endearing partnership that feels authentic, not forced. Their relationship progression is paced well and culminates in a fulfilling, perfect ending that avoids cliché without sacrificing romance. While some reviews have been mixed, possibly due to differing expectations or taste, I found this novel to be an absolute treasure. Its lighthearted tone and clever dialogue make it an excellent pick for readers craving a sweet, fun, and flirty romance that doesn’t take itself too seriously but hits every emotional note perfectly. Fans of character-driven romantic comedies with a sports backdrop will especially appreciate Callum’s nuances as a “sweetheart of a guy” and the genuinely charming chemistry he shares with Annabelle. This is a story about laughter, love, and taking unexpected detours that lead to joy. If you appreciate romantic escapades filled with humor, heartfelt moments, and couples who banter as effortlessly as they love, this book will likely leave you with a warm glow and a smile lingering long after the last page. Is there anything better than a romance that makes you laugh out loud while restoring your faith in love’s unexpected magic?
