A Roundup of Small Town Romances To Read This Summer
I am in my small town romance reading era, and you know what that means? A roundup of books that are small town romances. It doesn’t get much simpler than that. Whether it’s a good ole cowboy romance, a city slicker returns to their small town and falls in love with a baker, or whatever … I’m in need of a good small town romance. Yeah, books about cities are great, but who can resist a Hallmark-esque romance in a book?

IRRESISTIBLE BY MELANIE HARLOW
I’m a full-time single dad to three daughters and CFO at Cloverleigh Farms. I don’t have time to fall in love—I’m too busy trying to run a business, keep the red socks out of the white laundry, and get the damn pillowcases on without owing a dollar to the swear jar.
Sure, Frannie Sawyer is beautiful and sweet, but she’s twenty-seven, the boss’s daughter, and my new part-time nanny—which means she’s completely off-limits. It’s bad enough I can’t stop fantasizing about her, what kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her?
