A new standalone, romantic comedy from Tara Sivec! Live in the best small town in the world? Check. Have the greatest job ever working on my family’s pumpkin farm? Check. Marry the town pharmacist and have a nice, quiet life with our son? Check-check. “Oh, I’m sorry. Did you say you were happy? LOLOLOLOL!” ~ Life Ember Hastings never thought she’d be dragged away from White Timber and everything she loved, thrust in the middle of a big city she hated, or have her husband of nine years say, “I can’t do this anymore,” all within the span of three months, yet here she is. She misses her family, she misses the farm, and she misses having a backbone and caring whether or not the stain on her shirt is chocolate or shit. She works from home doing transcription. Does she really need to shower or leave the house? Baker Matthews has been bringing everyone down lately with his grouchy attitude. His job is stressful, and sometimes depressing, but he wouldn’t change anything about it. When a glitch with the transcription company he’s using mistakenly sends him notes he wasn’t supposed to see, Baker finds himself laughing out loud for the first time in months. He’s never met a woman who says whatever she’s thinking and doesn’t fawn all over him when she finds out what he does for a living. Until Ember Hastings comes barreling into his life, calling him Shit Mouth and asking if he has any balls. But she wants to keep this professional. She made him pinky swear, and you don’t mess around with pinky swears. Baker will have to get creative if he wants to prove to Ember that he’s just her type.

This book was absolutely adorable. I love banter and people who are fluent in snark. Lots of writers try it but not many succeed. This book is definitely a success.
This story is a 2nd chance story in that Ember is starting over. She dated guys, it went badly so when she met a man who she thought would be a perfect husband she started changing herself to fit. When that relationship falls apart 10 years later, she is shattered.
Baker is tired of his injury changing the way people interact with me. They either constantly thank me for my service or they want to help me.
The banter between these two is so good. I love that much of their initial communication is through email. I love a good finding oneself again story. This book is a fun easy read with steam and lots of trickery, the good kind.
