Just Let Go Book Review

Title: Just Let Go

Author: Courtney Walsh

Genre: Christian, Fiction, Contemporary Romance

Plot: Quinn Collins has grown up in the same little dreamy town she still lives in today and can't imagine ever leaving. She might miss something exciting if she leaves. Besides that, her dream has finally come true; she has just purchased her mother's old flower shop and has a notebook full of ideas to improve it and drag it forward into modern times. Besides that massive project, she is also working on a show-stopping entry for the big winter festival where her mother is judging the floral arrangements. Maybe, just maybe, she'll be good enough to get her mom's attention after all these years.

Meanwhile Grady Benson is an Olympic skier who has had a bad streak of luck lately combined with some ill-advised spending sprees and bad judgement calls. One of which lands him in front of the local judge who sentences him to five weeks of community service. With a bit of meddling, Sheriff Collins and the judge get Grady assigned to help Quinn fix up her flower shop - much to Quinn's disapproval. But the two eventually soften and get the job done with hints of something more, till Grady puts his foot in his mouth and makes a crucial mistake. Will their fledgling relationship withstand the test?

Likes/Dislikes: First off, even though the cover is gorgeous, it led me to believe that the book takes place in the spring. It does not. It takes place over the course of December which threw me off a bit mentally in the first few chapters. I always like my December stories to be snowy. Anyway, aside from that, it is a slow burner type story. Quinn really hates Grady for some reason which got annoying after awhile and she's very focused on reconnecting with her mom to the point where it interferes with everything else in her life. In all honesty, I couldn't finish this book. Maybe it gets better but it wasn't the cup of tea I wanted for the heat of July. I'll have to sample it again in some cooler non-pregnant months.

Rating: PG-14 and up, mainly for reading level and content (it's a clean romance).
