The Beautiful Things Shoppe

The Beautiful Things Shoppe

Seasons of New Hope, Book 2

by Philip William Stover

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


Some sneaky matchmaking by New Hopes own Uncle Arthur, forces opposites Prescott and Danny to find common ground in the Beautiful Things Shoppe!


Prescott is by the book and fond of all things classic and historical, while Danny is quirky and obsessed with collectibles and nostalgia. Their collections are as polar opposite as their personalities… but you know what they say about opposites - they attract!


All it takes is a some shared projects and their mutual respect and admiration for each others craft and abilities turns their sparing attraction into a relationship. But when Danny leaves out some big items from his past and Prescott’s ex shows up in New Hope… can Danny and Prescott collect up the peaches of their relationship and forge it back together?


I fell for this odd couple pairing from the first chapter! Their unique personalities were a great contrast and brought out the best in each other. 


I was also very excited to see Vince and Tuck show up form the previous book, The Hideaway Inn. The Beautiful Things Shoppe built up the the fictional New Hope further, but TBTS can totally be read as a standalone. Though, this series is a delight and I highly recommend both of these books!



As alway, Carina Press delivers the happily ever after I crave! I sweet read that I totally recommend!




The Beautiful Things Shoppe by Philip William Stover is scheduled was released January 26th, 2021.


I received a complimentary copy of this book from Harlequin and the Harlequin Publicity Team. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
