A swoony, heart-wrenching small-town romance .
Leila:What I meant to do: Quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own. What happens instead: My crush comes back to town when I’m at my most vulnerable. After too many cocktails, I ask him to be my baby’s father. In my defense, it’s been a rough couple of months. Seeing Matteo Rossi again after fourteen years has done a number on my emotions. And my libido. In the morning, I’m hoping he’s forgotten the whole thing. But no such luck. In fact, Matteo has a few clarifying questions. And a few naughty ideas, too…
Matteo: What I meant to do: visit Vermont for my brother’s wedding. Make amends to my family, and mourn the loss of a friend. What happens instead: a hot affair with the one who got away. But it can’t last. My life is two thousand miles away, and Leila deserves everything. She’s as good as gold.

good as goldGood as Gold takes us back to the world of True North in Vermont for a second chance romance! The story is a series of time jumps between the past and present to give us the history of Lelia and Matteo.

Their story is full of emotions! I feel this is pretty typical for the True North books, but its like I forgot and was somehow surprised at how emotional it was! I think for me it was that “what if” vibe. These two could have been together all this time. Lelia wouldn’t have had a crappy marriage. But, they missed out on all that time! I also love the friends and family you get in this world. Family is so important in this series and it is perfect! As much as I loved Matteo and Lelia and their family, I was annoyed with the miscommunication/lack of communication at times. Like, we are grown people-use your words!!

Fans of small town, second chance, and family saga romances will love Good as Gold for sure!
