----------
When opposites attract...

As an editor at a major New York City magazine, Josie Kellum is always on the go...until an injury sidelines her in the small town of Sweetwater Springs. Luckily, her new physical therapist is easy going and easy on the eyes. When their sessions start to heat up, in more ways than one, Josie is intrigued. But she has a city and career she loves waiting for her. So why does the thought of leaving him suddenly feel a lot like leaving home?

Tucker Locklear is just starting to move on after his wife's death. While he can't deny his attraction to the gorgeous, vivacious Josie, he won't risk the pain of losing someone again. The sooner he gets Josie back on her feet and back to her real life, the safer he'll be. But in Sweetwater Springs, love has a way of mending even the most damaged heart.

Annie Rains has become one of my go-to authors for sweet small-town romance. This offering is part of the Sweetwater Spring series, but I had not read the first offering of the series and was fine reading this as a standalone. Josie and Tuck's story is a fun one to ride along with, although it is not without stumbling blocks, as Tuck has some trauma to work through after he lost his wife, and Josie is a city girl who finds herself in the country visiting the main characters from the first book in the series. I loved seeing how they got to know one another and work through their differences on the way to their HAE in this story of friendship, family, second chances, opposites attracting, and finding home.
