Take a Chance on Me by Becky Wade
4.0
Cute short Novella, setting up the world of this new series.
Eli is in the military stationed nearby and is smitten with a small town local girl, they have a little bit of history and he is determined to win her heart this time around. Penelope has trust issues and fights Eli every step of the way. It is a cute sweet story. Overall I loved the story. There is a side plot about her brother and his wife and some issues she had in delivering their baby and I was VERY concerned it would get REALLY SAD REALLY FAST. But thankfully the author didn't go in that direction. The trauma of the plot is helpful at explaining Penelope's thoughts and issues.
Something that bothered me, I know this is set in Georgia and I am not from Georgia, but it seemed like Penelope spoke in 80 year old lady language. Is this normal for Georgia? She said phrases that I would find in regency books not contemporary romance. I was very confused by the way she spoke and it was never explained why she did that. It may have been a character quirk, but let the audience know why. It was distracting.
