Synopsis (Goodreads):
Two guys meet over a stack of romance novels. Soon they're turning pages late into the night...Thoughts on Booklover: Okay. This time around we have Jamie and Briar fighting their way toward their happy place. Jamie is drowning under school and work and his obligations to his family. He can't see a way where he gets the things he wants without letting his family down and he's not able to do that to them. So he pushes on and works himself to the bone on little to no sleep and a lot of can-do attitude. Which works, until it doesn't.
Jamie Morin’s college GPA drops every time a cow breaks through a fence, but he’s determined to get his degree and keep his parents’ Vermont dairy farm afloat. He’d rather be reading than milking, but he can’t let his family down…not the way his brother did. So the last thing he needs is distraction in the form of an irresistible bookseller with a mysterious backstory.
Briar Nord has a lifetime of experience proving that happily-ever-afters only happen in his favorite books. But his luck might be changing. He’s got a great job at a bookstore, and he lives in a city that puts maple syrup on everything. But Briar knows not to trust anything or anyone. And that includes a gorgeous farm boy with soulful eyes and too many obligations.
When Jamie joins Briar’s romance novel book club, they both feel an instant connection. Soon they’re turning pages long into the night. But Briar’s past was bound to catch up with him. Sometimes, though, it takes two heroes to write a new ending . . .
On Briar's end...well, the guy has been in some tough situations in his life and he might love Burlington and V&V, but he doesn't quite feel like he belongs. Falling for Jamie feels like something that can never happen because good things don't happen to guys like him. And even if it did happen? He's not good enough for a guy like Jamie.
Meanwhile, Jamie doesn't think he's a good match for anyone, much less someone like Briar. Jamie has no extra time and he doesn't see that changing any time in the near future. Why would ANYONE want to date a guy who can't guarantee he won't flake on them due to a dairy emergency?
A past that keeps popping up to haunt Briar, a dairy farmer who loves books, a book club that dives into romance, a few abandonment issues, a few sticky family issues, friends who are there when the chips are down, and two people who figure things out before it's too late. Good stuff!
