In one weekend Dillon Michaels breaks up with her long standing boyfriend and is fired from her job. She decides to go and live with her grandfather who is lonely and mourning the death of his wife. When she gets there she finds her hippy mother has already moved into her old room, so she is relegated to sleeping on the couch. Then she discovers that her grandfather has an old hunting trailer sitting on his property. She falls in love with it and decides to fix it up to live in temporarily. As she begins the process she gets to know Jordan Atwood who owns the local hardware store. He is young, handsome and a fellow retro camper aficionado. As the restoration project progresses so does their friendship. There are complications, including the return of the "X" and a rival girl "friend" they have to deal with before they can reach the status of "happy camper."
I decided to try a new Christian romance writer. The book started off well enough. The premise is fun and the characters of the whacky mom and the handsome store owner are interesting. I found, by the end, that I was eager to be done with the book. The problem was the insecurity of the main characters. Dillon would have a hugely romantic moment with Jordan one minute, and then an hour later wonder if he was going to propose to another woman. Jordan would see Dillon with her totally annoying X and think his case was hopeless. I imagine there are plenty of people out there that are that bad at reading relationships, but I discovered that I don't really want to read about them. (2020, 354p)
