The Coppersmith Farmhouse (Jamison Valley, #1) by Devney Perry

 The Coppersmith Farmhouse by Devney Perry

Blurb:

One old farmhouse brought them together. It could also tear them apart.

Gigi has just uprooted her whole world to start a new life. The unexpected gift of a farmhouse in small-town Montana is just what she and her daughter need to escape big-city loneliness. The last thing she needs is attitude from the town’s sheriff, the most perfectly attractive and ruggedly handsome man she’s ever laid eyes on—and a complete jerk.

Jess knows all about women like Gigi. Beautiful. Sexy. Scheming. She’s stolen his sanctuary, the farmhouse that should have been his. But along with a face full of freckles, she’s got a sharp wit and a backbone of steel—something he doesn’t discover until after making a complete fool of himself. If he can earn back her trust and win her heart, he might just find the home he’s always needed.


I think, the fact that since I've read this book on the 22nd and today, the 24th, I'm almost done with the third book in this series, might be some indication whether I liked the book or not. Maybe.
As much as I liked Tattered, the first book in Devney Perry's Lark Cove series, it was The Coppersmith Farmhouse that made me fall for her books, completely and absolutely.

Despite the fact that Jess' manner of running roughshot over Gigi and his attitude whenever she doesn't agree with his decisions (usually when it comes to her jouse, her life, her place, her...everything) really made me mad, the fact that you could feel how much he wanted to be with her and how much she meant to him, made me grit my teeth, grumble and read on.

Gigi- or rather Georgia is so charming and sweet and has such a loving, bubbly personality that you just have to love her and cheer her on when she finally finds someone to spend her life with and be happy. Even if this someone tends to behave like a caveman when he wants to stake his claim.

Gigi and her daughter Rowen want to start a new life somewhere in a small town in Montana and this might just turn out to be the best thing they could ever hoped for. Okay, they didn't count on encounters with dealers and kidnappers and ...well, let's just say that at this moment Prescott, this very small town in Montana isn't as peaceful and boring as it usually is Gigi and Rowen might find themselves right at the center of everything that goes down these days. Jess, as the sheriff of Prescott and his friends are working hard at keeping Prescott and - of course- Gigi safe. but well, their job may just get a bit harder....

This was an amazing beginning of a wonderful series, I laughed and swooned and chuckled and loved every page of it. Gigi, Jess and her friends are interesting and authentic characters and I loved them all.
