ARC Review: All You Need is Love by Marie Force
Cameron Murphy is driving to Vermont to meet with a client to discuss website ideas. The weather is not cooperating, making the roads slippery. She’s about to crash into the most famous resident of the town. Fred the moose walks away unscathed. Cameron gets smacked in the face by her car’s airbag, leaving bruises and swelling. Her damaged car leaves her stranded in the little town. As she steps out, her suede boots get stuck in the mud. Her rescuer, Will Abbott, is her client’s son and gorgeous. His family owns the Green Mountain Country Store. Her father and Will’s father know each other. One went on to become a domineering billionaire, the other a loving husband and father of ten. Along with his parents, Will and nine siblings have different areas of expertise and market various products through the store. The father hired Cameron, but his children are against the idea of a store website. She asks for time and starts to build the website with their input. Her attraction to Will grows, but she resists. She has a history of falling hard and fast for guys. Plus she’ll be heading back to New York in a few weeks. But she’s falling in love with his family and dogs too. Gradually, the family accepts her website ideas and approve of the blossoming romance. Cameron leaves and picks up the life she left behind in New York. Which one of them will be able to give up the life they love for true love?
I liked the characters, especially Will’s grandfather, Elmer. A nugget of his wisdom opens every chapter. Will and Cameron make an interesting opposites attract couple. He loves the outdoors and her teeth chatter at the thought of the cold. The siblings, dogs, and townsfolk fill out the book well.
I understand wanting to preserve the uniqueness of the store, but how would a website hurt business? Why refuse more opportunities for sales, especially since the store employs such a large group of people in the same family? The Abbotts have unique products, some handmade, others may be fragile for shipping, but the Internet is filled with such things. I was surprised the parents were for the website and their children were against it.
This a first book in a series and many plot lines are hatched regarding Will’s family.
