"A playful story with heart and teasing goodwill." —Publishers Weekly for The Unplanned Life of Josie Hale Readers of Sally Thorne and Beth O'Leary will love Ellie Reed's wild adventure. Ellie Reed's self-esteem can't take it anymore... Ellie has just about had enough of her family's constant criticism and attempts to control her life. But when she rents an Airbnb getaway on a gorgeous farm in Montana, she encounters a whole new set of family drama. Now she's the reluctant and borderline competent caretaker of a barn full of unruly farm animals, caught between two handsome men competing for control of the farm, and the sudden best friend of a spunky elderly widow whose outrageous ideas just might change her destiny...

Said No One Ever

Ellie Reed has to get away from all of the pressures she is facing including losing her job, her boyfriend, and her apartment, so she rents and Airbnb on a farm in Montana.  Upon her arrival, her hostess, Marilyn, is being whisked off to the hospital with an injury, and there are a bunch of animals that she now must take care of.  Ellie gladly accepts the help of Marilyn's handsome neighbor, Blake, and is shocked in the shower by the presence of Marilyn's grandson, Warren, who doesn't understand why she is there.  Ellie finds herself in the middle of two family dramas: her own and Marilyn's and doesn't know what to do about either one.

Said No One Ever is a fun romantic comedy/women's fiction story about a woman at life's crossroads trying to find where she fits and with whom.  Warren is suitably cranky and Marilyn is fun and quirky.  Other characters including Marilyn's and Ellie's relatives add additional layers to this enjoyable novel.  However, some parts of the plot seem a bit over the top and some pivotal characters remain one dimensional, but overall, Said No One Ever is very entertaining  and well worth the read.
