Cute romance between a cowboy (Harlan Jones) and a coffee shop owner (Sophie Watson). Harlan moved from Texas to Edgerton Shores, Florida, to temporarily help out his injured brother with his radio station. But Harlan’s real dream is to be a woodworker, and he loves making furniture. Harlan’s neighbor Sophie and he don’t seem to get on. She is constantly complaining about his mischievous dogs, and his mocking comments about her on his radio program, among other things. But after they are entered in the town Love Lottery (which is to help build a community center) and end up with each other as partners for a whole week, they begin to see the good side of each other.

This was a very fun read. I liked the banter between Sophie and Harlan. I enjoyed the fun events of the Love Lottery date week, especially the carnival. I also liked the part when Sophie and Harlan went to look at the dolphins. The townspeople were an interesting group of people.

A sweet, romantic read by Shirley Jump. ( )
