Easy-going, artistic Connor Bryant fell hard for his friend Shay Seaver when they were both in the seventh grade. Sixteen years later, he's returned to Misty River. She's finally between boyfriends. And his crush on her hasn't wavered. Now's his chance.
He tells Shay that he's found someone he wants to date and is in need of a makeover when it comes to his appearance and dating strategies. He asks if she'll serve as his consultant -- in hopes that he'll learn how he can become her ideal man. What he doesn't tell her? That she's the one he wants to date.
Sporty stationery shop owner Shay immediately agrees to Connor's request because he's one of the best guys she knows. However, she quickly realizes she's in over her head. She's pledged to help him win the affection of another woman -- even though she dearly wants to claim his heart.
It's Christmas in the mountain town of Misty River! This sweet contemporary romance novella, penned by Christy-winning author Becky Wade, can be read alone or paired with the other books in the series.
My Thoughts:
You and Me by Becky Wade brings Christmas festivities to Misty River. This easy-to-read novella fits in between the second and third novels of Wade’s Misty River Romance series. Characters from the full-length books cameo, but You and Me works as a stand-alone story.
You and Me features a cute, clean romance between Connor and Shea, two old friends who happen to be perfect for each other. While this novella had less character development than Becky Wade’s full-length novels, I enjoyed watching Shea and Connor’s relationship progress and adored the reveal of Connor’s interest in Shea.
To me, the shining element of You and Me was its
Christmas season feel. Something about the way Becky Wade wove sparkly lights, a
live nativity, and a message of hope with a sweet romance made this a lovely story.
I recommend You and Me to readers who have enjoyed Becky Wade’s contemporary
romances and want a novella with plenty of Christmas spirit.
