Book Review: Evvie Drake Starts Over

Book: Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes 

Romance book based in Maine

My Thoughts: 

What an adorable, sweet, deep and heartfelt book!! Evvie Drake Starts over will have you laughing and reaching for the Kleenex box all within a chapter! 

The troupes in this book are close proximity and enemies to lovers.

If you love contemporary romance, cute covers but deep characters, you’ll love this book.

Evvie Drake shows us life through her lenses as a widow. To the rest of the world, her husband was a hero but to her, he was a major jerk! This book explores the reality of feeling guilty and feeling relieved at the same time. Evvie is an incredible character and you can’t help but root for her to find herself through heartbreak!

Meet Dean, a mutual friend of Evvie that needs a break from his current life as a Major League Baseball player that just lost his mojo. Dean moves from NYC to Maine (where Evvie lives) to rent half her house as he gets his feet under him and tries to find out why he can no longer pitch a ball.

The chemistry that Dean and Evvie have as they try to help each other is amazing and so authentic. I can feel their genuine care for each other through the pages.

I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read what Linda Holmes writes next.
