Carpentry and Cocktails

de Nora Everly (2020) - Smartypants Romance

Résumé : Everett Monroe can’t keep his eyes off his gorgeous tenant.

He’d like to put his hands on her too, but she’s prickly, closed-off, and gives new meaning to the word disgruntled. In other words, she’s his perfect match and he’ll do anything to make her see it too.

Willa Hill has finally left her teen runaway past behind and wants a fresh start—alone. Men are nothing but trouble and she’s had enough man-trouble to last a lifetime. Too bad her irresistibly sexy, nerdy-hot landlord doesn’t agree.

When their mutual yearning becomes a white-hot fling and passion crosses carefully drawn, albeit one-sided boundaries, Everett finds himself in love and Willa finds herself in a pickle.

Because, unfortunately, when she returned to Green Valley, her problems came too. When the past she escaped crashes into the future she finds herself wanting more than anything, will Willa stay in Green Valley?

Or will she run away again?


Dans la série des Green Valley Library, un de mes tomes préférés était celui de Nora Everly (Crime and Periodicals avec Wyatt et Sabrina), dans celui-ci nous avons le frère de Wyatt, Everett, et l'héroïne est Willa, la meilleure ami de Sabrina.

Willa et Everett sont mignons, ils se zieutent l'un l'autre de loin, sans vraiment trop se cacher, ils flirtent gentiment, mais Willa ne s'autorise pas à aller plus loin. Elle sort d'une relation toxique avec un mec violent à tendance psychopathe, elle en garde des blessures qui sont difficiles à surmonter. A cela s'ajoute des conflits familiaux qui ne l'aide pas du tout à reprendre confiance en elle... Mais Everett, le geek sexy qui coupe des bûches à la hache, est irrésistible (non vraiment c'est la choupitude incarnée) et il va arriver à gagner le coeur de sa belle. Willa et Everett ont vraiment une belle relation, ils évoluent ensemble, essaient d'être à l'écoute l'un de l'autre.

Un des point fort est aussi les personnages secondaires : j'adore la petite soeur de Willa et les frères d'Everett, plus Sabrina et Wyatt, tout ce petit monde ship nos héros et vont tout faire pour les aider xD

In the Green Valley Library series, one of my favorite books was Nora Everly's ( Crime and Periodicals with Wyatt and Sabrina), in this one we have Wyatt's brother, Everett, and the heroine is Willa, Sabrina's best friend.

Willa and Everett are cute, they ogle each other from afar, without really hiding themsleves, they flirt nicely, but Willa does not allow herself to go further. She comes out of a toxic relationship with a violent guy with a psychopathic tendency, she keeps wounds that are difficult to overcome. Added to this, her family problems don't help her regain self-confidence at all... But Everett, the sexy geek who chops logs with an ax, is irresistible (yes really it's sexyness incarnate) and he will manage to win the heart of his belle. Willa and Everett have a really good relationship, they grow together and try to listen to each other.

One of the strong points is also the secondary characters : I adore Willa's little sister and Everett's brothers, plus Sabrina and Wyatt, all these people ships our heroes and will do everything to help them xD

Crime and Periodicals

de Nora Everly (2019) - Smartypants Romance

Résumé : In Green Valley, Tennessee everybody knows everybody, but nobody knows Sabrina Logan.

Sabrina has been hiding in plain sight for years. Living her life inside of books, dutifully helping her family, and hoping no one will notice her. So far? Mission accomplished!

Yet when sexy—and distrustful—sheriff, Wyatt Monroe returns to town with his daughters, he definitely notices the quiet librarian everyone else overlooks. The single dad can’t seem to shake thoughts of shy Sabrina. Without quite understanding the impulse, Wyatt makes his mission finding her again, so he can . . . well, he’ll just have to reckon with that later.

What Wyatt discovers is a woman who trusts too easily, but who’s afraid to live. Trust doesn’t come easily to Wyatt. But living? That’s never been a problem.

And he’d sure like to show her how.


Si vous souhaitez lire une romance choupi-chou graou qui vous fait voir des coeurs partout et vous donne l'impression de naviguer sur un arc-en-ciel le temps de quelques heures de lecture, ce livre est pour vous ! Attention ce n'est pas gnan-gnan non plus xD

Nos deux héros sont tout en profondeur avec chacun des vies pas forcément idéales et qui essaient de faire au mieux avec ce qu'ils ont. Sabrina s'occupe de ses 3 neveux après le décès de sa soeur : il y a deux grands ados et un enfant plus jeune, Harry, qui est autiste, elle est d'ailleurs sur le point de l'adopter, mais le "père" pose problème, c'est un type complètement à la ramasse qui n'a jamais été là pour ses enfants... Sabrina est aussi hyper timide, elle a du mal à interagir avec les autres, mais elle est en thérapie et se donne des mini challenges chaque jour.

Arrive Wyatt, le héros parfait pour Sabrina, c'est le coup de foudre pour tous les deux. Wyatt est gentil, patient et compréhensif. Il s'occupe seul de ses deux filles depuis que leur "mère" a décidé de se casser. Quand il rencontre Sabrina, il voit bien qu'elle n'est pas très à l'aise au milieu des gens mais il ne va pas essayer à tout prix de l'aider à affronter ses peurs, mais plus être là au cas où et laisser Sabrina venir vers lui. Sachant qu'en plus les deux filles de Wyatt sont de vraies stratèges xD.

Ce livre nous met le sourire, il y a certes des obstacles à passer pour les héros mais rien n'est insurmontables et ça ne tombe jamais dans le drama. tout le monde devrait avoir un Wyatt dans sa vie.

If you want to read a cute romance that makes you see hearts everywhere and makes you walk on a rainbow just by reading, this book is for you ! Attention it is not a soppy romance either xD

Our two heroes have a deep personnality with a life thta's not necessarily ideal and they are trying to do the best with what they have. Sabrina takes care of her 3 nephews after the death of her sister : two teenagers and a younger child, Harry, who is autistic, she is about to adopt him, but the "father" causes problem, it's a looser that has never been there for his children... Sabrina is also extremely shy, she has trouble interacting with others, but she is in therapy and gives herself little challenges every day.

Then there is Wyatt, the perfect hero for Sabrina, it's love at first sight for both of them. Wyatt is kind, patient and understanding. He has been taking care of his two daughters since their "mother" decided to go away. When he meets Sabrina, he clearly sees that she is not very comfortable among people but he will not try to help her face her fears at all cost, instead he tells her he's here in case she needs him and let Sabrina come to him. Plus, we have Wyatt's two daughters who are real strategists xD.

This book makes us smile, there are certainly obstacles to overcome for the characters but nothing is insurmountable and it never falls in the drama. everyone should have a Wyatt in his life.
