Review: 907 For Keeps Way by Adriana Locke

907 For Keeps Way by Adriana Locke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a novella in the Cherry Falls series. They are all standalone's with internonnected characters and set in the small town of Cherry Falls. If you've read 608 Alpha Avenue, also by Adriana Locke, you will recognize Kaylee as the best friend and local pizza shop owner from that installment. If you are a fan of Adriana's work, you should check it out. These novellas are quick feel good reads (under 100 pages), perfect for a busy evening when you want to read something but don't have a ton of time. This wasn't quite as NSFW as the previous one, but there was a good level of steam. Dane and Kaylee had good chemistry and their story was really sweet.

This follows Kaylee, local pizza shop owner, single mom, recent divorcee, and woman ready to reclaim identity. In an effort to find herself again she signs up for women's personal fitness classes at the local gym. Like many of us, Kaylee equates being thin and fit with being desirable and beautiful. Dane, owner of said local gym, offers to show Kaylee that getting fit doesn't mean running on a treadmill and lifting weights at the gym. He also likes her just the way she is, and wants her to be happy in her own skin not by the standards of anyone else. He shows her that feeling good through exercise can be fun, and he helps her work through some of her insecurites.

I really enjoyed this. I think Dane and Kaylee's story has the potential for a full length novel, but it was the perfect morsel of a novella. It has everything you want from a romance, two great main characters with good chemistry, a fun storyline, a good message, and just the right amount of steam when the time comes. I highly recommend this!
