There is so much to love about this small town romance novel. A Lot Like Love by Jennifer Snow is the first in the A Blue Moon Bay series. It has all the charm and sweet that you could ask for in a romance leaving you anticipating what's to come.

In this book, we are introduced to Sarah and Wes. They haven't seen each other in a really long time. To quote the last line in the book and to sum up the experience of these two, “the best things in life really did happen when you least expected them.” Fate had another plan bringing Sarah back to Blue Moon Bay when she inherited her Grandmother's inn. Feeling torn by the thought of investors demolishing the inn, she decides to preserve the connecting piece of not only her grandmother but the nostalgia and love it once brought to this small coastal town. There's only one person who is qualified for this job, Sarah's high school crush Wes.

After going through the motions of life after the passing of his wife, Wes has found himself without both feet on the ground. Trying to raise his daughter, Wes has found the struggle is real balancing being a father and working. When the opportunity comes around for his construction company to restore the inn, he sees it as an opportunity to get some stability for his company and to preserve one of the town's most cherished landmarks.

As time goes on with the project, there seems to be an unspoken rekindling of a spark that almost was. One thing Wes wasn't expecting no matter how much he tried convincing himself not to, was the idea of someone coming into his life again. The problem is, the more time he spends with Sarah, the more it becomes undeniable of the possibility of being a part of his life.

As they say, if it was meant to be, it shall be. A Lot Like Love brings for the hopeless romantic, two people destined at a second chance.

Overall, I think this was a wonderful introduction to the series. I'm definitely looking to continue on reading what's next for Blue Moon Bay. The tone was charming and sweet and had a comfortable inviting story that draws you in through the end. My favorite character besides these two, was Wes's daughter who just will melt your heart. A little sophisticated for her age but shined so bright within the storylines. The supporting characters were fun and complemented them as well. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the next book. I'd recommend diving into this series.
