 📖 I received a gifted e-book ARC. The following is my honest review✍🏻

Story of My Life is a dual POV small-town grumpy/sunshine romance. Hazel is a recently divorced romance author needing a fresh start who impulsively buys a house in a small PA town in an online auction. Campbell is a grumpy local contractor hired to fix up the house. Hazel finds inspiration in Campbell and the two pair up, for research purposes only of course!

This was such a fun and funny small town romance! I loved all the side characters who helped round out the delightfully quirky town, and Hazel and Cam were just great together. Lots of chemistry and banter. A great start to my March reading!

Hazel is given a one-two punch when she's forced to move out of her Upper East Side apartment and is given a final warning from her publisher.

If she doesn't turn in a book by her next deadline, they're cutting her loose.

Hazel rashly decides to leave what's left of her city life behind and impulse buys a house in rural Pennsylvania sight unseen. How better to entertain the loyal readers she still has and rediscover her writing mojo than immersing herself in small-town life?

Too bad this town looks to be on its last legs. At least she's finding swoon-worthy inspiration from her hot, grumpy contractor Cam and his animal-rescuing, community-involved family. It's all just research. What could go wrong?
