My review of Welcome to Winterville:
I absolutely loved Welcome to Winterville by Carrie Elks. It mixed the fun and flirty feeling with all the wonderful spiciness of a sexy small-town romance. It was the best of both worlds. Winterville feels like a town held back in time with all the traditional values and friendliness, but it’s not doing so well financially.
When the Winter cousins find out that their parents had sold the town to a developer, they pull everyone together to come up with a plan to keep Josh Gerber and his company from tearing the town down. There are a lot of brains in the Winter cousins group, and I expected a few more ideas from them. This was really my only disappointment in the story. They seem to come up fairly empty-handed.
It seems all their hopes rest on Holly Winter rekindling a very brief fling from many years ago with Josh Gerber. it’s a pretty flimsy plan to save the town, but it leads to some pretty romantic and heated moments for Holly and Josh. The two are crazy good together and their conversations and banter had me grinning all the way through. They were amazing.
When the inevitable argument comes up between Holly and Josh, I just about screamed because I saw it coming and business got in the way. But Holly’s cousins are the heroes of her story because they were there for her through every page and every up and down. I loved it so much.
