5 stars for So Close (Tierney Bay #1) by Serena Bell

The inn is her life. He needs to tear it down.

Auburn Campbell loves Beachcrest Inn. Working there saved her sanity as a teenager and got her back on her feet after a controlling relationship. So when Trey Xavier shows up, threatening to demolish Beachcrest, she’s ready to fight. Nothing riles her up like a hot guy in an expensive suit on a power trip—in the worst and best ways.

Trey screwed up. And now he needs this land deal or he’ll lose his business. He built his company from scratch so he could take care of his family the way his dad never did. But it would be a lot easier for Trey to stand his ground if Auburn didn’t tempt him so badly. He hasn’t wanted anyone like this in a long time. Maybe ever.

After a few days of summer sun, Auburn and Trey are both losing their heads—and maybe their hearts, too. Except they’re both out of practice at losing.

Only one thing’s certain: The Fourth of July in Tierney Bay will have plenty of fireworks this year.

What I thought about So Close

In this new Tierney Bay series from Serena Bell, Auburn Campbell wants to save the Beachcrest Inn, a place that means a whole lot to her.  Standing in her way is Trey Xavier, a guy from the city who is threatening to take down the Inn for a major land development deal.  But Auburn needs to convince Trey that tearing down the Beachcrest Inn isn't the way to go. 

Both characters have some past histories that color their world and they'll need to get through those feelings.  It's a frenemies to lovers story that brings a whole lot of emotion to the table.  Trey has a lot of layers and Auburn is going to have to get through them if she wants to save the Inn and potentially have a relationship with Trey. First she has to convince him that the Beachcrest Inn in the magical Tierney Bay is worth much more than just money.

There's a hot spark between these two characters that helps bring Auburn and Trey together, and things do move fast between them -- a first kiss changes everything. There's a lot of steam along with hurdles for them to jump if they are to be together.  It's a great start to the Tierney Bay series. Looking forward to more!
