All You Need is Love (Green Mountain, #1)
Marie Force
The family-run Green Mountain Country Store is cherished by locals as a reminder of simpler times. The Abbott children are determined to keep it that way—but their father has different plans… When Cameron Murphy heads to Vermont to build a website for a new client, she imagines a more relaxing trip than she gets. After wrecking her car by colliding with the town moose, she meets the most handsome hero she’s ever seen. Unfortunately, her savior, Will Abbott, is also the son of her client—and he wants nothing to do with the new website or the city girl creating it. For all Will cares, Cameron can march her fancy boots right out of town and out of his family’s business. But he can’t seem to get her out of his head. As his family’s dispute heats up, so does the chemistry between the two, leaving them wondering if simple is better after all—especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

0 0Welcome to Green Mountain.
All You Need Is Love was a truly delightful contemporary romance filled with a plethora of warm and engaging characters. I guarantee you're going to fall in love with each and every one of them!
Meet the Abbott family, including the ten (yes, ten!) Abbott siblings, mother and father Abbott, and old gramps. Each one is more adorable than the last, if that's even possible. This time, the focus is on Will Abbott, one of the older members. He and the rest of the Abbott family all live and work harmoniously together (most of the time) in the small Vermont town of Butler. Many of them actually work in one place - the Green Mountain Country Store, which is thing that draws our heroine, Cameron, into their midst when she's hired on by Will's father to create a new website for the business, much to his dismay.
Will comes across as surly, to put it mildly, at the beginning of the story, but that's actually a complete misrepresentation of his character. He was the sweetest, most thoughtful guy! *sigh* If only he were real! He's definitely an easy to fall in love with character, both for our heroine, and for us as readers!
Then there's Cameron. You might expect, just as Will did, for her to be somewhat useless at the whole small town living thing, being such a city slicker - a New Yorker no less! - but Cameron is a girl who knows how to adapt. I loved that about her. Although she enjoys her city life and the IT business she's built there, she can absolutely see the charm of Vermont life and the close friendships everyone in the town enjoys.
As plot lines go, this one was pretty straightforward - city gal comes to quiet town and finds love in the most unexpected of places - but its characters are so vivid, and the romance so strong (and sizzling!), that it really didn't need anything more complicated than that. It was pretty perfect, actually.
With so many characters there are naturally several subplots going on in All You Need Is Love. I suspect many of the other Abbots will get their own HEAs in future books, and we may have seen the beginnings of one already in this book!
A great read with warm and engaging characters galore - 4 Stars! ★★★★
