A story about every mom’s fantasy。 Sweet characters， gentle plot。 I won this in a giveaway， and may not have picked it up at random。 Enjoyable。

This was a nice， relaxing book。 Amelia is divorced and she and her two children move into a home with a strict neighborhood enforcement community。 She deals with the kids and school， friends and the community watch and trying to make time for herself。 The kids do not miss their father as he never spent time with them。 Amelia is likeable and makes it easy to slip into her shoes。 I thank NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book for an honest review。

Single mother against the world。 While I could not relate to being a mother I did emphasize with her homeowner association issues。 Great friend relationships。 Sweet， clean romance。 Fun banter。 It was an engaging and enjoyable read。 Grateful to have won this book via Goodreads。

This was awful。 Boring。 Vapid。 Plotless。 My fault for picking it up based on the cover - I thought it was going to be hijinks but I was wrong。 I skipped 10 chapters in the middle and missed exactly zero plot points。

A cute book。 This one did not wow me but it was charming。Amelia is a divorced mother of two young children。 She's a very likeable character。 She moves into a new neighbourhood in Houston， Texas with her kids。 She sets up some garden gnomes in her front yard。 The Homeowners Association representative， Carla informs Amalia that these gnomes go against the rules for the neighbourhood。 Are you kidding me？ Amalia can't believe that her childrens beloved gnomes are such a problem。 She meets Kyle Sande A cute book。 This one did not wow me but it was charming。Amelia is a divorced mother of two young children。 She's a very likeable character。 She moves into a new neighbourhood in Houston， Texas with her kids。 She sets up some garden gnomes in her front yard。 The Homeowners Association representative， Carla informs Amalia that these gnomes go against the rules for the neighbourhood。 Are you kidding me？ Amalia can't believe that her childrens beloved gnomes are such a problem。 She meets Kyle Sanders， the HOA President who really is on her side but his hands are tied。 The rules are the rules。 Now Amalia is set for a fight to overturn the rules and keep her kids life as happy and balanced as could be。The writing is good and it's a fun， light-hearted type of story with some added heavy issues。 I really think I would have enjoyed this one more had I straight read it instead of listened to it。 I did not really enjoy the narration at all。 She spoke in an over-the-top and robotic way。 Almost like the cozy mystery narrators。 There was a sort of Hallmark movie cheesiness to it so perhaps it was intended。 I would recommend this book but I'd pass on the audio this time。I'd like to kindly thank NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for granting me access to the Advance Listener Copy。 。。。more

This was a fun read。 I loved the “Game of Gnomes”。 I loved the characters。 Amelia’s friends are amazing， and her and Kyle are so sweet。 I also loved that this place is similar to the woodlands， Texas， which is near where I live。 That was a fun part of the story for me too。

I dnf’d at 75%。 I tried。 I just couldn’t get into it in any way。 The constant pop culture references， repetitive statements over and over and over again。 The book had so much unnecessary descriptions and should have been so much shorter。 The awkward conversations between Amelia and her friends/kids/Kyle were all just so unbelievable。 It was cringeworthy and I wished it would stop but it never did。 The story droned on and on and never seemed to truly have a solid plot line。 Yes， Amelia was fighti I dnf’d at 75%。 I tried。 I just couldn’t get into it in any way。 The constant pop culture references， repetitive statements over and over and over again。 The book had so much unnecessary descriptions and should have been so much shorter。 The awkward conversations between Amelia and her friends/kids/Kyle were all just so unbelievable。 It was cringeworthy and I wished it would stop but it never did。 The story droned on and on and never seemed to truly have a solid plot line。 Yes， Amelia was fighting with Carla， the villain with the HOA claims， but it kept building and building without any relief or real “vengeance。” At least at 75% in there was nothing being done about Carla。 And the romance between Amelia and Kyle was just flirting and slow banter。 Just didn’t seem like the relationship was ever going to develop。 The narration was odd as well。 The narrator， I felt， often left too long of pauses which caused the flow of the story to be off。 The tone was often flat and when you sped up the audio it tended to sound chopping and not make complete sentences。 Maybe that will be fixed in a final version but it was difficult to stand。 Thank you Netgalley and dreamscape media for this ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Cute， light book just didn’t hold my attention。 I think it was me， not the book that was an issue。 Light books including romance just do not keep my attention these days。 Lots to like in this if you want a fun book without serious issues。 Cute kid， romance and a neighborhood battle。 Some parts of this were funny。

I'm so here for how great a character Amelia is。 She's a newly-single mother whose only goal in life is her kids' happiness and she is doing a brilliant job at it。 I loved reading about kids of divorce being so well adjusted because their mom is there for them。 Sure， there are some hard parts， but Amelia and her support system are there for everything they need。 I also really liked that Goodwin wrote a strong heroine who admits she needs help after realizing that she doesn't have to hold everyth I'm so here for how great a character Amelia is。 She's a newly-single mother whose only goal in life is her kids' happiness and she is doing a brilliant job at it。 I loved reading about kids of divorce being so well adjusted because their mom is there for them。 Sure， there are some hard parts， but Amelia and her support system are there for everything they need。 I also really liked that Goodwin wrote a strong heroine who admits she needs help after realizing that she doesn't have to hold everything in to be strong。 It's a great message to go along with the fun of the gnome wars and Amelia's battle with the horrible management company representative。 And I can't forget the fact that the love interest， Kyle， is a fantastic human being that's way too good to be real， but the fantasy is strong and his interactions with Amelia are as romantic as those with the kids are adorable。I do have to say that the enemies-to-lovers trope that is advertised pretty much everywhere with this one is a lie。 Aside from one minor detail that never really affects their interactions， Amelia and Kyle are never enemies。 It doesn't take away from how great they are together or how much you'll love reading their interactions， but it's important to point out that it did not contain what was advertised。 Happy thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the fun read！ 。。。more

A big thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the audiobook。 I am voluntarily reviewing this audiobook。 I liked this audiobook。 I found Carla a typical neighborhood snitch。 Every HOA has one or two or three。 I liked the cast of characters Amelia and her children。 I liked the story-that Amelia worried more about her children than herself。 I liked Kyle。 Interesting story and has endless possibilities。 You have to fight for what you want and believe in。 3。5 stars
