GRR Reviews Love on a Spring Morning (Pine Harbour by Zoe York

Love on a Spring Morning is a contemporary "superstar undercover" romance that was pretty sweet and sensible, though due to the circumstances, it is somewhat uneven.

A widower and single father Ryan Howard was way too busy with his three kids (4, 7 and 9) and his job (Paramedic, and Army Reserves) to care about the movie that was supposed to start filming in his little town of Pine Harbour. He was supposed to be helping the movie-staff who's renting out his in-law's place just down the road, but he can't stand Hollywood types, except for the quiet intern who does her running every evening and they had nice chats. But Holly's no intern... Holly is really Hope Creswell, superstar. She's at the top of her career, but Ryan was the only one who can make her feel... something real, something genuine. And before she can explain her double life, he kissed her. Now nothing will be the same...

I find the story rather sweet, but the ending was basically Ryan getting angry at her "betrayal" which is... kinda lame. I liked both characters, but the story is mostly on Holly/Hope, so the story was a little uneven. But the trope works when it's written right. And this one is alright.
