Release Day Blitz: Quintessentially the One by Aleatha Romig

 

Release Date: July 28


The ABCs have never been sexier... A secret baby, second-chance, contemporary stand-alone romance

“Representing the most perfect example of quality or class” ~ Quintessential

A trip back to the small Indiana town of Riverbend to finalize my grandmother’s last will and testament throws my world off its axis. I wasn’t prepared to learn the stipulations of her will or that she’d left her beloved mercantile Quintessential Treasures to my college summertime love, Kandace Sheers.
Imagine my greater surprise when I learn about the secret that’s been roaming Riverbend for the last five years. Here are a couple of hints:
She’s five years old.
She has her mother’s silky auburn hair and my golden eyes.
The answer is simple.
I take responsibility for the girl and go back to Chicago where my life awaits.
It turns out, Grandma had other plans because life’s never that simple.

Dax Richards has spent every summer in Riverbend, Indiana with his grandparents. And every summer that he comes back, it’s like he never left, fitting right back in, especially with Kandace Sheers. They grew up over the years and went from friends to each other’s first. But Dax always went back to Chicago.

It’s been 6 years since he last stepped foot in Riverbend, and now he’s back to finalize his grandmother’s will. Everything seems cut and dry with minimal stipulations – but ones that put him back on the path with his only love, Kandace. But Kandace has kept a secret.

So what happens? You’ll have to one-click. This was a great, quick read, that held all the elements I look for: a meddling grandmother, a strong, independent heroine, a second chance whirlwind of a romance, with plenty of steam and minimal angst. Definitely recommend this for a quick summertime read.



This author has to be one of my fave go-to authors for those feel good stories.

This story is all about Dax and Kandace. These two were young lovers who go their separate ways. Kandace is a small-town girl and Dax was meant for the city life. His visits home to his grandparents’ house during the summers growing up helped him develop a strong character. But once high school was over, Dax stayed in the big city to create the life his parents wanted for him. When his grandmother passes and leaves a will with a stipulation, Dax finds his way back home to discover that, perhaps, his heart was always meant to be with Kandace.

This story was easy to read. It was sweet. Dax and Kandace got their second chance with the help of their little girl, Molly, and that matchmaker, Grandma Ruth.

But, getting to a HEA wasn’t always rainbows and roses. Reading their journey there was well worth the time spent in the pages of this one.
