My review:
Pia (30) & Mason (30’s)
Pia is looking to start over when she accepts a job at the Heritage Hill Inn. When she arrives in town she learns the man who hired her has recently passed away and his son, Mason, is in charge now and heās not interested in honoring her contract. Pia was super sweet and I enjoyed the friendship she found with Delaney.
Mason never expected to lose his father so suddenly and step out of his NYPD shoes into new innkeeper shoes. But itās just temporary, heāll get the place up and running and head back to the city, easy peasy. It doesn’t take him long to figure out he needs help and agrees to hire Pia. I was really loving him for the whole book, and I was hoping and praying he wouldnāt make me mad, but of course he did. He redeemed himself of course, but maybe a little too quickly.
Overall, I wasnāt really a big fan of the whole ābachelor pact,ā but I enjoyed the book nonetheless probably because you just know the pact will get broken when the fella comes to his senses even if it takes them a hot minute.
Series notes:
The series will follow friends; Parker, Beck and Cole. I really enjoyed their camaraderie and how they have each otherās back through it all. I look forward to reading their books in the future.
Narration notes:
I did not listen to this one, but am just giving the above info for reference.

Book blurb:
Bachelor best friends and steamy romance . . . Welcome to Cedar Falls. The emotionally riveting, uplifting and spicy small-town series from Cissy Mecca. Perfect for fans of Lucy Score, Elise Silver and Lauren Asher.
Rule one of the Bachelor Pact is simple: Never fall in love.
Temporarily returning home to Cedar Falls comes with mixed emotions. But having to work alongside the distractingly beautiful Pia, hired by my father before his unexpected death to run and restore my familyās inn, is a test I could do without. I donāt need help, especially from a stranger whose delectable body is inviting me to forget the most important rule of the Bachelor Pact.
I learned early on to avoid attachments, and Pia is completely off-limits. Iām technically her boss. Working together to renovate the crumbling inn, I try to shield my heart and ignore my bodyās traitorous responses. But Pia’s laughter fills the dusty halls, melting my defences and testing my iron-clad resolve. But as each day passes, the thought of returning to my old life as a cop in the city and leaving Pia becomes more and more difficult. Now, with my future and an age-old promise on the line, I’m left wondering if I should finally crack open the door to love I sealed so long ago.
