More Than We Bargained For by Fiona West
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
"More Than We Bargained For" by Fiona West was a funny, sweet, and heartwarming story that featured endearing characters and an engaging plot. It's the fourth book in the Timber Falls series, but reads as a complete standalone.
The path to happiness was not exactly straightforward for main characters Sawyer Deveraux and Starla Moore, but I found it very easy to root for them to overcome all of the challenges standing in their way. Single mom Starla was fresh off a divorce and doing her best just to keep it all together for her kids, Aiden and Emily. I felt terrible for her because she so often felt ashamed of herself and her choices. Starla was a good mom and a kind, caring person who consistently put others before herself, but living in a small town meant that even her smallest mistakes were often magnified by the vicious cycle of gossip. As for Sawyer, his whole life changed drastically when he was diagnosed with a chronic illness, and he was fighting to hold on to his independence after losing so much else. As it turned out, Starla and Sawyer were able to help each other, and I loved how they came to care for and support each other.
Overall, I adored "More Than We Bargained For" and highly recommend it for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I will absolutely be checking out more books in this series.
