THE START OF SOMETHING GOOD (Stay, #1) by Jennifer Probst

Available Now!
Synopsis:
An enriching story of family ties, broken hearts, and second chances from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst. When Ethan Bishop returns to the Hudson Valley, his body and spirit are a little worse for wear. As a former Special Forces paratrooper, he saw his fair share of conflict, and he came home with wounds, inside and out. At his sisters’ B & B and farm, he can keep all his pain at a safe distance. But quiet time isn’t easy when a fiery woman explodes into his life… It’s business—not pleasure—that brings Manhattan PR agent Mia Thrush reluctantly to the farm. Tightly wound and quick tempered, Mia clashes immediately with the brooding Ethan. Everything about him is irritating—from his lean muscles and piercing blue eyes to his scent of sweat and musk. But as the summer unfolds and temperatures rise, Ethan and Mia discover how much they have in common: their guarded histories, an uncontrollable desire, and a passion for the future that could heal two broken hearts. But will their pasts threaten their fragile chance at a brand-new future?

Thanks to the publisher for letting me review an early copy of this book for the purposes of this blog tour. All opinions expressed are my own. 
Have I mentioned that I love Jennifer Probst's books? I think I may have a time or two. Needless to say that the bar was set quite high for me going into this one, and I'm happy to say that "The Start of Something Good" delivered everything I've come to expect from this author and more.

First off, this story is not just about two people falling in love. There are sisters, friends, a wayward teen, a group of party hearty senior citizens, a nutso chicken, and a skittish horse. There's a cool little town on the edge of rejuvenation that I would love to visit. There are several different conflicts between the various players, including a play on the old city mouse/country mouse tale. Discovering what makes the two main characters happy, besides each other, is a recurring theme. An insta-hate meet cute had me laughing, and the conclusion had me sighing. What else? Oh right, the pastries! (she says as she subtly wipes the drool from the corner of her mouth). In short, a delightful read I would recommend to any of my friends who enjoy a perfectly paced, swoony romance with an exceptional cast of characters.

My rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire
Summary:
The stunningly original, must-read fantasy of 2018 follows two fiercely independent young women, centuries apart, who hold the power to save their world...or doom it.

When assassins ambush her best friend, Rielle Dardenne risks everything to save him, exposing herself as one of a pair of prophesied queens: a queen of light, and a queen of blood. To prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle must endure seven elemental magic trials. If she fails, she will be executed…unless the trials kill her first.

One thousand years later, the legend of Queen Rielle is a fairy tale to Eliana Ferracora. A bounty hunter for the Undying Empire, Eliana believes herself untouchable—until her mother vanishes. To find her, Eliana joins a rebel captain and discovers that the evil at the empire’s heart is more terrible than she ever imagined.

As Rielle and Eliana fight in a cosmic war that spans millennia, their stories intersect, and the shocking connections between them ultimately determine the fate of their world—and of each other.
