Playing with Words Boggy Creek Valley #2

Kelly Elliott — 2021

Hudson Higgins had fond memories of Boggy Creek from his childhood. So what better place to escape New York City for a few weeks to finish up a book that was nearing deadline than the small town in New Hampshire his parents visited nearly every summer. What he couldn't have known was how his life would be turned upside down when he walked into Greer Larson's bookstore his first day in town. Greer Larson lived a quiet life in her hometown of Boggy Creek. She had worked nearly her whole adult life to make her dreams of owning her bookstore come true-and now, Turning Pages was her everything. She lived, eat, and breathed the success of owning her own business. That is, until a stranger came to town and showed Greer that there was more to life than simply working. A friendship between Greer and Hudson quickly formed over their love of books and the outdoors. When Greer's bookstore is threatened, Hudson soon realizes he hasn't simply fallen for the charm of Boggy Creek and Greer, he'd fallen in love...with both the town, and the woman who stole his heart from the moment she first smiled at him. Playing with Words is book two in the Boggy Creek Valley series and is a stand alone novel.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and options are my own. This is my first time ever reading Kelly Elliott and I'm very surprised how much I really enjoyed this book. Greer and Hudson are such a perfect and sweet couple. These two are truly meant to be together. Greer is so easy to connect with. I know for one, like Greer, I would love to open my own bookstore in a small town. She’s adorably awkward, sweet and all about her small town. And Hudson is such a straight up great guy. He’s sweet, kind and has a dirty mouth (which is always a plus in my book). I don’t think Kelly Elliott could have written characters better than these two for one another. The small-town vibes are very strong with this one. It makes me think of fall, apple picking and candles. This was a straight up feel good story. No beating around the bush with unnecessary drama and was just a pleasant read. Since I didn't read book one in this series, I’m definitely going to read it now. I’m excited to continue on with the rest of the series. Also, can we talk about how GORGEOUS this cover is?? When there are such beautiful covers like this one, how do you not judge a book by its cover? It fits this book so well. Super sweet, heartwarming, and feel good read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really like the storyline of the book, the premise was also great and fun, light, fast-paced, and very entertaining. Kelly had me with the sunshine bookseller and a charming book author. Perfect for readers looking for light-hearted and above-mentioned aspects.
