Sizzle by Carrie Aarons is now live!
Everyone knows that if there was an award for biggest small town grump, Liam Ashton would win for Hope Crest, Pennsylvania no questions asked.
The reclusive, brooding farmer might be part of the family business and do anything for those closest to him, but his bark keeps almost everyone else away. Perhaps that's what happens when you fall in love at first sight but aren't allowed to be with the soulmate you didn't realize you were looking for.
When the forbidden woman of his dreams blows back into town, he might finally get a shot to convince her they're destined to be together. Only, her denials and refusals won't let him get anywhere near her.
Gabrielle Murphy swore she'd never return to the town where she took her first teaching job. She'd done the right thing, once upon a time, and there is no room to question what if.
But when the only woman who ever understood her passes and leaves her to clean up the pieces, she can't exactly say no. Get in, fulfill her grandmother's wishes, and get out. That's the plan. Until Liam confronts her and they give in to the unmatched inferno that's been blazing between them forever.
Even though there is nothing standing in the way of a happily ever after this time, Gabrielle still can't let this surly version of the Liam she once knew love her completely.
Until a surprise binds them to each other for the foreseeable future, and they have to forgive enough to move forward. But just as the ice around their hearts starts to thaw, darker outside forces threaten to ruin their chance before it's even taken.

Sizzle is a small town second chance romance that gives you a forbidden aspect feel. Twelve years ago Gabrielle was living a very content life being a high school teacher. One conversation with a student changed everything for her and deciding to remove herself from a future temptation, Gabrielle leaves town and doesn't look back. Until now.
Returning to Hope Crest to take care of her grandmother's wishes, the last person Gabrielle expects to see is her former student. It's been twelve years and Liam is now the town's sought after bachelor but the boy that she walked away from all those years ago is now a grumpy farmer with unresolved feelings for her.
Liam Ashton has one goal and that's to keep his family’s farm thriving. His family means everything to him so having a successful farm is what keeps him going. His personal life on the other hand, needs a lot of work but when he sees the woman that broke his heart all those years ago, Liam knows that he has one more chance to make everything right.
I loved that this was a small town romance and I really liked most of the characters. My only issue with this one was the fact that the main character was making certain things into a more bigger issue than it was and became quite annoying. I understood the hesitations with some things but they really took it too far for me and it changed my perception of them.
If you're looking for a small town romance with a slight forbidden feel to it, you can give this one a try.
