What happens when you take a divorcee who’s sworn off the “L” word and plop her next to a determined bachelor? Why, they make a pact to be friends….just friends, of course! And we all know how well those work out.

Diane Watson has come to the island as a retreat from her acrimonious divorce from her philandering husband. She wants nothing to do with relationships, love—any of it. So when her handsome lumberjack neighbor offers to show her around, she makes him make a pact. John Day is a bearded, flannel wearing alpha male and the ladies flock to him. In the past he’s hasn’t minded the attention, he’s not the relationship type. So when a pretty divorcee that’s renting his neighbor’s cabin instigates a friendship pact, he sees nothing wrong with it.


I adore Daisy Prescott’s books. They always have the perfect mixture of humor, romance and heat. I can never put one down once I pick it up and this one was no different. I also can’t get enough of her men. They are all ladies’ men or relationship clumsy in some way but also so endearingly adorable that you just can’t help but fall in love with them. This is a feel-good romance. It’s curling up with a cup of cocoa on a cold day, wearing a hoodie for the first time in fall, that kind of feel good. The characters are relatable, the setting is spectacular and the writing is superb. If you’re looking for a sweet romance that’s guaranteed to make you smile and keep you smiling, one-click Ready to Fall today.
