The Maine Attraction by Ash Keller: Book Review

The Book

Falling for my fake fiancée wasn’t part of the plan.

Then again, neither was the busted knee that ended my hockey career. One minute, I had it all: adoring fans, millions in sponsorship deals, and a popstar girlfriend who craved the spotlight even more than me. The next minute, it was all gone.

Wanting nothing more than to be left alone to lick my wounds, I purchased a defunct lighthouse in my hometown of Fog Harbor, Maine. Not only does the lighthouse offer the seclusion and solitude I desire but restoring it to its former glory will give me something to do. I hire a local contracting business, Corbin and Sons, to help with the job. But when the contractor shows up, I’m shocked to discover that it’s neither Corbin nor one of his sons; it’s one of his daughters.

Charley Corbin and I have history. In high school, she was my sister’s best friend—and my mortal enemy. Now, she’s all grown up, skilled with a power saw, quick-witted, and drop-dead gorgeous.

Unfortunately, Charley’s held onto her grudge with an iron fist. It doesn’t help matters when a paparazzo snaps misleading photos of us together. Before we know it, the entire world thinks Charley’s my fiancée. I get a glimpse of the life I could have with her in Maine, and I want it. More than hockey. More than my former life. More than anything.

The Maine Attraction is a short and sweet romcom sugar bomb that’s meant to be read in two hours or less. It has no cliffhangers, a guaranteed HEA, and all the sizzle, but no explicit content. This book is part of When in Maine, a feel-good romcom series set in a small coastal town in Maine. If you love sweet beach reads, When in Maine is perfect for you!

Book Review

The Maine Attraction is the second book in the When In Maine series. This is a two-author series with stories all taking place in the same small coastal town in Maine but can absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone as well. 

If you're looking for a super quick dose of summer romance--- this is absolutely it. At less than 100 pages, it's definitely a VERY quick read... easily read in just one sitting. Despite its shorter length though, it's absolutely not short in story... I was actually really impressed on just how much story Ash Keller was able to fit into those pages. Would I have enjoyed more time Charley and Luke? Absolutely! They were great characters who I couldn't help but adore and who had wonderful chemistry! I loved that she was killing it as a contractor, despite that being a male dominated career. And a strong hockey player--- who also loves to crochet!? Um, yes, please! But while I could have enjoyed more time with them, I also didn't feel like that story was incomplete or rushed in any way. It truly was just the perfect length for a quick, lighthearted summer read and one that I found I enjoyed very much! I can't wait to see what comes next in this sweet series! 

The Maine Attraction is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
