My review:

Sold on Love is the third book of the series, but can be read as a stand-alone novel.

I did not love the second book and wasn't sure I wanted to continue the series; however, I am glad I did. 

Sold on Love is an endearing opposites attract story. It is a quick read. The story follows two couples, Harper and Rusty, and Harper's parents, Madge and Don. I was more invested in Harper and Rusty's relationship, but both storylines and well-written. All four characters go through considerable character growth. I also liked Senior, Rusty's grandfather. So far, Sold on Love is my favorite of the series. I do plan to read the fourth book.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):

She’s a high-fashion realtor; he’s a low-maintenance mechanic. What on earth could they have in common?

Dressed in designer labels and cruising around town in her red Mercedes, workaholic realtor Harper Wilson presents the picture of success in charming Maple Falls. But Harper’s carefully cultivated image is resting on a shaky foundation. With a sudden drought in sales, she’s starting to see her professional dreams—along with her posh lifestyle—slipping away.

Car trouble brings her to mechanic Rusty Jenkins, and their unlikely friendship is taken to the next level when the laid-back Rusty allows her to give him a makeover for a charity bachelor auction. Harper soon discovers that beneath the town mechanic’s wild beard and grease-stained clothing lies a true Southern gentleman—someone with a kind heart and dreams of his own. Their chemistry is undeniable, but as they get closer, past fears and relationships start to creep in, reminding them of just how much is at stake when carefully constructed facades fall apart.

Maybe their worlds aren’t so separate after all. And maybe covering up who you really are keeps you from discovering what was always meant to be.

  1. Glad this one ended up being such a good read...especially after the second book wasn't. Rusty sounds like a really great guy.

  3. I think I have the first book in this series because the covers are so cute and fun. I like that they somehow have a kind of "old fashion" look but are contemporary stories. May have to read the book I own now that your review of this reminded me I have it. :)
