With a lot of hard work and a little bit of help, Mallory makes incredible progress turning the store into an eclectic home decor shop called Romancing the Home - all while trying to ignore the depressing and decrepit apartment she's living in on the second floor. When the shop catches the eye of a popular renovation TV show producer, Mallory is thrilled - until it becomes clear that her apartment is to be part of the segment as well.
She's tempted to abandon her dreams and the town under a cloud of shame. But perhaps there's more to Grayson than meets the eye. Can he swallow his pride, change his plans, and help Mallory romance her own home - and possibly her life?
Review: I flew through this novel written by one of my go-to authors for "palate-cleansing" reads that I enjoy after a book with heavy/intense themes and plots. It is longer than it should have been with repeated details and unnecessary continual issues for the main character to address, but it was fast-paced enough to keep me interested and turning pages. It's a cute novel, not a perfect one.
If I would have had another 30-45 minutes in me, I could have finished this in one day, but my eyes weren't staying open.
