The Best Laid Plans by Karla SorensenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a bittersweet read. I loved getting to know both Burke and Charlotte; they were only brought together due to the deaths of Burke’s best friend and his wife. Charlotte was hired to restore the house that was left to Burke. Things didn’t start well for them, as Burke really didn’t want anything to do with the house. Overtime he had to make decisions regarding the house and soon he had an interest in it as well as Charlotte.
Tension certainly was high in the carriage house that they had to share, and I could see they were falling for one another. Burke was still focused on getting back to football, but he was beginning to have doubts. Charlotte was very passionate about the work she did and loved having Burke there too. I loved her grandmother; she was very quick witted and offered advice to keep Charlotte on track and her heart open.
This was a cute read and despite the circumstances that brought them together, it was quite a light and entertaining read. I enjoyed the narration by Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin. They were easy to listen to and told Charlotte and Burke’s story perfectly.

A tough-as-leather football player. A happy-go-lucky historian. It’s love against all odds in a warm and emotional romance about found family, friendship, and the restorative powers of the heart.
Former Dallas football player Burke Barrett is weathering a lot of changes. He’s retired from football. He’s mourning the loss of his best friend.

To his surprise it comes with a long-legged, blindly optimistic renovation manager with big ideas for Burke’s inheritance. She’s passionate, irritating, and irresistible.
