Welcome to Solace Springs... Dumped for being 'too boring' and fired in the same week, Londoner Sophie Bennet decides she's done playing it safe. After one too many glasses of wine, she launches a crowdfunding campaign called "Help a Boring Girl Buy a Bookshop." When it unexpectedly goes viral, she trades city chaos for cherry-blossom season in Solace Springs, Washington, buying a rundown boathouse bookshop and a chance to start over. Luke has spent years cultivating a quiet life by the lake, and the last thing he needs is an annoyingly attractive social media sensation disturbing his peace with her endless enthusiasm. Too bad fateโ€”and the town residentsโ€”have other plans. As Luke gets roped into Sophie's renovation project, the cherry blossoms aren't the only things beginning to bloom. As they clash over paint samples and argue about structural integrity, things start to heat up between the town locals and the new resident. But just as Luke's carefully constructed walls begin to crack and Sophie's sudden viral fame threatens the tranquillity of Solace Springs, both must decide if they're willing to risk everything for a second chance at love. The Cherry Blossom Boathouse is a sweet and spicy grumpy/sunshine romance, filled with small-town charm, quirky characters, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. ??grumpy x sunshine ??renovation romance ??small town ??bookshop ??spice ??found family

About the Author

Laura Bloom is a British author who writes swoon-worthy stories full of heat, heart and a healthy dose of emotional chaos. When she's not wrangling characters on the page, she's wrangling construction jargon as a content and PR specialist for the building industry, meaning she spends a lot of time surrounded by burly men in hi-vis. She lives in the UK with her husband and daughter.
