Release Blitz for The Little Things (Second Hope #1) by Jessica Prince w/ Review

***5 Stars***

So. Much. Goodness!

I was already excited to go back to Hope Valley and catch up with as many of the crazy, lovable characters I’d come to love ~ and though we don’t get to catch up with EVERYONE ~ it is kind of a long list and we probably need some kind of family tree to keep ~ it gave me all the small town romance feels and more and I cannot wait to go back!

I loved Rae and Zach, well, loved them after a bit of frustration with them ~ nothing major, and I did empathize with both for the most part, but the eye rolling was real ~ but soon they both grew on me. With Rae it was how she took the situation she was in and stepped up. She may not have wanted to be there, but she basically “woman’s up”, takes it all in stride and finds that the life she thought she wanted wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be. Zach is a sweetheart, but when he gets in his own way, he gets in his own way and boy can he be a grump.

They definitely do not get off on the right foot at the start, but with a couple of nudges from family and an unexpected ally, Zach comes around and starts to see who Rae is beneath the Hollywood surface. They do deal with a few bumps in the road ~ the age gap thing, boss/employee thing and a specter from the past ~ but the connection between them couldn’t be broken and I just loved watching as they fell hard for each other.

This was a great addition to the Hope Valley world. While we didn’t get to catch up with everyone, it was still fun to catch up with those that we were able to. While the angst, drama and triggers are on the low end, there still are a few situations that come up from Zach’s past that could be uncomfortable for some, but they are necessary to understand Zach. As for the next generation. I loved Lennix, Ivy, Connor and Raylan ~ and am crossing my toes that we’ll get lots more from them ~ and Hal is just awesome as are Becky and Bill. So, now to wait patiently for the next book.

I’ll admit, I made more than my fair share of stupid decisions, but all it took was an accidental felony and a teensy kitchen fire to turn my life upside down.

When my parents cut me off, selling my swanky Los Angeles apartment and shipping me off to some ranch in the middle of nowhere to teach me a lesson, I thought it was the worst thing that could happen to me.

Then I got to Safe Haven Ranch and met my new boss.

Zach Paulson is an older, grumpy cowboy who thinks I’m nothing more than a spoiled princess and doesn’t want me on his turf. He also happens to be drop-dead gorgeous, and can wear a faded pair of Wranglers better than any other man alive.

The dumbest thing I can do is fall into lust with the temperamental rancher. Unfortunately, I’m not exactly known for making good choices.

But I’m determined to do better this time. I want to prove to myself and everyone else that I’m more than the shallow, self-absorbed socialite I’ve been playing at for years. I have a plan. Keep my head down, do my work, and don’t make any mistakes.

The problem is, I’m not the only one with a crush, and all my defenses are useless against a man like Zach when he puts his mind to getting what he wants.
