Description:

A new novella by #1 Amazon Bestselling Writer, Kimberley Montpetit!

Rebecca Dash loved spending her teen summers swooning over Jane Austin novels and helping her Aunt Rayna at the Starry Skies Bed & Breakfast in Snow Valley, Montana. But despite her recent college graduation, she’d rather write sappy romance novels than go out with guys that make her a nervous wreck.

When a team of fire-fighters set up camp on the lawns of the B&B during a forest fire, the devastatingly handsome Captain Wade catches her eye. Navigating firefighters, first dates, and the guests at the Bed & Breakfast turns out to be trickier than she imagined, but Becca soon learns that there’s more to a happily-ever-after than a flirty fireman with muscles the size of the Montana hills. Can her matchmaking aunt convince Becca to pull her nose out of a book and give love a chance?

ROMANCING REBECCA is part of the SUMMER IN SNOW VALLEY Collection, novellas set in Snow Valley, Montana. Check our CHRISTMAS IN SNOW VALLEY, too! 

My Review:

Swoon, swoon. Becca does all her swooning through her books and her cheesy writing. She runs a bed and breakfast, but would rather be writing. Me? I'd rather be reading, but that's for another story.

When a group of fire fighters show up to battle a forest fire nearby, all that changes and she has some real men to base her characters on. Becca is such a dreamer and lives with her head in the clouds, but she's so innocent and selfless--you can't help but like her. 

Her aunt is one fun character and is totally young at heart. Sometimes a true love is not who you expect him to be--he could totally be the boy next door. I also enjoy these types of stories because they parallel (in a small way) my own love story with my husband.

Such a fun and romantic story by a favorite author!

About the Author: 

Kimberley Montpetit once spent all her souvenir money at the La Patisserie shops when she was in Paris—on the arm of her adorable husband. The author grew up in San Francisco, another swoon-worthy city, loves all things Parisian and chocolate and lives in a small town along the Rio Grande with her family.

Kimberley has won many awards for her work, including the Southwest Book Award, the Whitney Award, the Arizona/New Mexico Book Award, is a Crystal Kite Finalist (SCBWI) and included in the Bank Street College Best Books of the Year.

She once stayed in a haunted castle tower room at Borthwick Castle in Scotland, sailed on the Seine in Paris, walked the beaches of Normandy, eaten in numerous French cafes, ridden a camel in Petra, Jordan, sunbathed on Waikiki, shopped the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, and spent the night in an old Communist hotel in Bulgaria.

She adores all baked goodies; brownies, éclairs, donuts, tarts, and pie, and makes a lot of chocolate chip cookies while revising.

Kimberley is, of course, hard at work on her next novel(s).
