The heroine(s): Ali Lovejoy – She is a photographer and likes to spend Valentine’s day hidden away at home since she has a bad history of things happening on that day. However, this year her best friend asks her to go to Eternity Springs to do a photo shoot to celebrate their engagement and recreate the moment the question was popped because the camera failed when it actually happened.
The Hero: Max Romano – Lives in Eternity Springs Colorado, owns the Tipsy Angel Micro Brewery. He is a bit shell shocked by the number of women in town recently and how they are all a bit man crazy. It doesn’t help that they have a famous cousin Lorenzo Romano who could be twins with Max and rumor around town is that Lorenzo will be in Eternity Springs soon.
The Story: Max tries to stay away from the crowds that swarmed to Eternity Springs for Valentine’s day and the hot air balloon festival, because he keeps getting mistaken for being his cousin Lorenzo. So while he is hidden away decorating the local mine and underground springs for a friend, he takes a dip in the springs and is caught by Ali.
The narration was done by Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt who never disappoint. I love Jason’s deep gravelly voice which is sexy and romantic. Andi always sounds both feminine and upbeat and she is just pleasant to listen to.
This was a novella so it was insta-love in the extreme, which is pretty much expected when it is a romantic stand-alone. But I liked the romance and the story including the famous look alike relative.
