What I Should've Said
You don’t find love. Love finds you…in New York Times bestselling author Max Monroe’s tender and emotionally charged story.
When grumpy, muscled-up artist Bennett Bishop bothers to speak, it’s usually to say something you’re not ready to hear.
When he first speaks to Norah Ellis, a rambling runaway bride who hitchhikes a ride from him, it’s to tell her to get out of his truck and walk because she’s a pain in the…
By appearance, Norah Ellis is a fancy fashionista who’s spent the last several years living the good life in the city—expensive apartments, highbrow events, and a fiancé with wealth and good looks. The only problem is that she didn’t choose any of it for herself.
On the day of her July wedding, Norah’s world turns upside down, thanks to a letter from a stranger. She runs for the small town in Vermont she used to call home, but what’s waiting for her, between her estranged sister, the townspeople, and bad-boy Bennett Bishop himself, is way more than she bargained for.
Enemies turn to lovers, strangers become friends, dark secrets bust open like cans of worms, and most of all…summer will never be the same.
"Some books feel personal when you read them, like you can tell the writer poured extra in. That's this story. I dreamed about it all night. What an unforgettable journey." — Kim Holden, Bestselling Author of Bright Side.

After Norah runs out on her wedding, she ends up heading to her hometown and getting a ride from Bennett, a grump that pushes her buttons. When she makes it, her sister is surprised to see her after so many years but agrees to let her stay with her. But in order to stay, she needs to contribute, and she sets out to find a job. When she finds an opening for an assistant to an artist, she is very interested. Turns out Bennett is said artist and single dad to Summer. When her "interview" excites Summer, she gets the job. She is soon falling into a routine and spending more and more time with Bennett and Summer. This was such an amazing story! It was quite different from Max Monroe's usually rom-coms, as it was extremely emotional, but I enjoyed it all the same. I'm looking forward to reading about Josie and Clay next!
