Blurb:

After an annoying, albeit sexy, encounter with Milo Lombardi, he’s the last person I want to see in Windy Harbor, Minnesota. Being in my favorite small town near Lake Superior with my family is my idea of heaven, and after clashing with Milo at an art event, and then kissing his face off right after – I’d be fine if I never saw the man again.

Even though he is sinfully gorgeous, and knows how to use those unforgettable lips.

But my dad has other ideas, and because he’s been dealt a blow that threatens to turn our family’s world upside down, I want to do what’s best and keep the peace.

Which means, I’m stuck working on a project with Milo, all day, every day.

And if I thought we didn’t get along in the beginning, it’s nothing compared to dealing with him on a daily basis. He has a unique way of bringing out the worst in me, while showcasing his annoying smirk in the process.

If only I could forget how his mouth felt on mine, and the way his strong arms felt wrapped around me.

Take this Heart is book one in the brand new, interconnected standalone Windy Harbor series.

Review:

I adore Willow Aster’s stories. The ones I’ve read are full of charm and humor and feels and this one fits right in. There’s a kind of enemies to lovers thing on Goldie’s part and she does give Milo a bit of a hard time. She’s got her reasons but she does run hot and cold. Milo seems to be all in on her sass tho and once they stop fighting it doesn’t take them long to fall in love – maybe not long enough for some, it is a bit of insta love 🙂

As the first of a new series, we’re also given a glimpse into the characters for future stories – Goldie’s siblings and friends – and I cannot wait to see them all fall in love. They are a big loving group with big hearts and big personalities. There are a few characters from other stories that make appearances but it isn’t going to impact new readers, just a touch of fun for returning ones.

There’s also a little family drama that will probably work its way into the rest of the stories. I’m not going to give much away but it does cause some issues for Milo & Goldie and isn’t completely addressed by the end (although I wouldn’t technically call it a cliff hanger). The project the family is working on also isn’t finished so they will likely help tie the series together.

Small town romances are some of my favorites, with their quirky characters and the way everyone knows everyone’s business, and Aster brings it. Take This Heart is a slow burn, fabulous start to a new series and I’m ready for the next book already!
