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

October Forever is a dual POV single parent/seasonal fling romance. Lucy has returned home to work at her parent’s historic hotel, and has a run-in with grumpy contractor Cameron. Despite a rough start, the two are drawn to each other, and decide to spend the month of October, no strings, just enjoying each other’s company until the new month brings new opportunities and Cameron moves on. This was my first Katie Cawood book but certainly won’t be my last! I loved the humor in Cameron and Lucy’s relationship and how easily they fit together. I really liked how committed Cameron was to his son, and how he put maintaining his time and relationship with his son above all else. It was a great blend of sweet and spicy and a fantastic Fall read! 🤎🍂

When Lucy Wheeler returns to her family’s gothic hotel on the shores of Lake Michigan, she’s hoping for a quiet reset

after losing her job in the city. Instead, she’s juggling fussy brides, quirky  tourists, and her mom’s ambitious plan to turn

the grounds into a haunted village. The last thing she needs is another distraction… especially not a grumpy contractor

who insists on getting under her skin.

Cameron Fox didn’t come to Underwood looking for distractions, either. As a single dad, he’s focused on finishing this haunted village project and keeping his distance from the stubborn hotel

heiress, whose quick wit keeps pulling him in. What starts as bickering and flirtation soon turns into an agreement:

they’ll just have a casual fling until his contract is up at the end of October. No strings attached. 

As the leaves change colors and the days get shorter, Lucy and Cameron can’t help wishing October would last forever.
