Maybell has been a housekeeper at a cheesy hotel in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, for 12 years when she finally gets the news that gets her out — her great aunt has died and left her a huge house and hundreds of acres of land in the middle of nowhere. Maybell fondly remembers her aunt and the house as the one bright spot in an otherwise rough childhood, so she's thrilled to be able to call it home. Two problems though: First, in the 20 years since she saw her, Maybell's aunt turned into a hoarder, filling the lovely house with all manner of junk and letting it fall into disrepair. Second, it turns out Maybell isn't the only inheritor — she has to share with gruff groundskeeper Wesley, who despite being drop-dead gorgeous is about as talkative as a tree. But as they start clearing out the house, the barriers start to fall and the pair finds themselves building a relationship.
OK, so this is basically like reading a Hallmark movie, down to the highly unrealistic construction timeline. That said, it's a great fluffy read for when you NEED something like the book version of a Hallmark movie, and it doesn't try to be anything else. Read it when you need it. :)
