Publisher's summary

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a heartfelt romantic comedy about new beginnings and finding the romanticized happily ever after in the most unlikely of places.

Hollywood screenwriter Sawyer Walsh knows a good love story when he sees it. But when it comes to real life romance, he’s a mess. That’s how he finds himself standing at the altar…as his ex-girlfriend ties the knot with his very famous best friend. The pressure, the resentment, the media coverage—it’s all too much—and before he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s making a run for it, leaving a shocked congregation and flashing cameras in his wake.

Needing to lie low amid the media fallout, Sawyer lands in the charming town of Canoodle, California, where he crosses paths with Fallon Long, who runs the Canoodle Cove Cabins, a family-owned business and Sawyer’s new short-term residence. Overwhelmed with renovations and her long list of responsibilities, Fallon is struggling to make ends meet while attempting to bring the cabins back to their original glory. So when Sawyer arrives, she is grateful for the income, but immediately writes him off as just another vapid Hollywood hack, until he begins to prove her wrong at every turn.

As Fallon comes closer to saving the family business, an undeniable bond forms between her and the handsome screenwriter. But the pressures of her family obligations and Sawyer’s notoriety might prove to be too much for anyone to handle. Could Canoodle be the setting for a new romance—or is true love just a Hollywood cliché?

Critic reviews

“A diverse cast, solid friendships, and some laugh-out-loud moments only enhance proceedings. This is sure to please.”Publishers Weekly

“The supporting characters give this slow-burn romance from Quinn (The Reunion) a healthy dose of humor and heart and make this story one to include in all romance collections.”Library Journal

I liked it until I didn't and then I did again.

This was a cute story and I enjoyed most of it. However, there was a part of the story that was a bit rapeish. 😳 I know, but if a male character had done what Fallon had done I don't think people would have enjoyed that part of this light-hearted romance. It bordered on sexual assault. We need to respect boundaries and limits people set on their bodies for both sexes.

Runaway Hit

Another wonderful story to get lost in by Meghan Quinn. Alastair Haynesbridge and Samantha Brentmoor were fantastic narrators. They are new to me but I will be looking to see what other books they are narrators for.

5 stars! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Fallon & Sawyer just warmed my heart. I'm not usually into such a heartfelt, slow burn romance, but this book was worth every second & penny. Jazz cracked me the hell up and I hope there is a book for her.

Funny and Heartwarming

This book was funny, highly entertaining, and so heartwarming. There were so many laugh out loud moments, as well as some moments that will leave your heart all warm and fuzzy!!! The characters in this story are some of my all time favorites of Meghan's, and I absolutely loved the small town vibe of Canoodle!

Cute!

This story was adorable! I’ve read a lot of reviews of people saying it was too long and drawn out but honestly I think that’s why I loved it. You really got to see the characters connect and grow into their love. The love story within this live story was heartbreaking and beautiful all it’s own. The narrators were fantastic and they really brought the story to life. Another great Meghan Quinn book!

Sweet Story

The was a very sweet story. I really liked all of the characters...even the crazy best friend. It's got all the Rom-Com feels. BUT, if you are looking for spice this is NOT the book for you. The narrators were great. It was an enjoyable "read".

Loved it!

At first I thought it was going to be your typical love story! Then the best friend came into play (who was great) then the story line and I was sucked in! I loved every bit of it!
