Things are not going well for Abi. She has nowhere to go and ends up across from the restaurant she has always dreamed of working at. Victoria, seemingly has it all. She owns her own restaurant, Adley’s and has more money than she could ever spend. When Victoria drops her purse and Abi returns it to her, she’s so grateful she lets the down on her luck woman stay at her guesthouse. A chance meeting ends up changing both of the women’s lives forever.

Melissa Tereze does a phenomenal job of writing age gap romances, but she also excels at bringing two people from different economic backgrounds together who seemingly have nothing in common. Abi and Victoria are another one of those couples who shouldn’t work, yet they do. Professionally, Victoria, is one of the most famous and successful chefs in England but her personal life is a dumpster fire. Her marriage is over, and her daughter isn’t speaking to her based solely on a rumor spread by an ex-employee. Abi may be financially down on her luck but Victoria is just as lost. Victoria may think she’s the one helping Abi, however, she soon realizes that Abi is the one helping her. Abi helps her to laugh again and to feel alive just by being there for her to talk to.

I really like this book and these characters. Abi is sweet and so smitten with Victoria, before she’s ever met her. She realizes how much more there is to Victoria than just her beauty and success. They really get to know each other and find that they are more alike than either could have imagined. I adore Abi but I’m a bit in love with Victoria. I can’t imagine inviting a stranger to live in my guest house. Actually, I can’t imagine inviting most of the people I know to invade my space. Victoria has such a beautiful heart and doesn’t give it a second thought. You can call it a good deed or you can call it destiny. Whatever, you call it, you won’t want to miss out on another fabulous read from Melissa Tereze.
