THE START OF SOMETHING GOOD BY JENNIFER PROBST

The Start of Something Good is sweet and charming. It actually reminds me of Hallmark movies! I think this is a fantastic start to a new series and am looking forward to the next one.

An enriching story of family ties, broken hearts, and second chances from New York Timesbestselling author Jennifer Probst.

When Ethan Bishop returns to the Hudson Valley, his body and spirit are a little worse for wear. As a former Special Forces paratrooper, he saw his fair share of conflict, and he came home with wounds, inside and out. At his sisters’ B & B and farm, he can keep all his pain at a safe distance. But quiet time isn’t easy when a fiery woman explodes into his life…

It’s business—not pleasure—that brings Manhattan PR agent Mia Thrush reluctantly to the farm. Tightly wound and quick tempered, Mia clashes immediately with the brooding Ethan. Everything about him is irritating—from his lean muscles and piercing blue eyes to his scent of sweat and musk.
​
But as the summer unfolds and temperatures rise, Ethan and Mia discover how much they have in common: their guarded histories,

an uncontrollable desire, and a passion for the future that could heal two broken hearts. But will their pasts threaten their fragile chance at a brand-new future?

Recommended Read 

The Start of Something Good is a lighthearted and easily likable novel where two people come together in unconventional circumstances. Jennifer Probst writes this novel in a way that makes it easy to visualize the scenery and characters while also making it feel magical and charming. Readers who are looking for an easy read with cute characters are going to want to give this one a try. I read it in one sitting and enjoyed myself from beginning to end. 

If I had to compare this book to anything it would be a Hallmark movie romance- light, airy, charming, and smile inducing. I enjoyed reading it, even though it felt a bit to easy in the romance department. The two main characters are polar opposites- one a city girl and the other a low key country boy. You would think that this would cause some angst and whatnot, but it didn't. There was some fun banter at the beginning when the two were at odds with one another, but it quickly transformed into a romance and then love. Regardless of this, it still felt right for the two and I liked how everything came together for them as a couple.

The next book in the series will be Ophelia's. It's a series of interconnected standalones and from what I can gather they can each stand on their own. If you are like me though you may want to read them in order as it gives you some backstory into their lives.

★★★★
