Description
No one is more shocked than Grace Gordon when her cosmetics line makes her a millionaire in need of new investments. Bailing out Mason Mayfield’s Cricket Creek craft brewery seems like the perfect solution. It doesn’t hurt that the sexy country boy makes her weak in the knees…

Sure, Mason is grateful to Grace for saving his brewery. But her upscale marketing plans for his down home business are driving him crazy. She needs a good man to reel her in, and he happily takes the job—especially since it’ll involve some time behind the brewery’s closed doors.

Unfortunately, Grace has never been good at staying in one place. And now that she’s thinking about leaving, Mason has to convince her to call Cricket Creek home—and admit their love was written in the stars…


Review:

Written in the Stars by LuAnn McLane is the 9^th book in her wonderful Cricket Creek series. As Grace Gordon, our heroine, arrives in Cricket Creek, she thinks she is lost, and ends up in a brewery. She meets, Mason Mayfield, her brother’s brother in law, who runs the brewery. They are both stuck in the brewery, as a major storm hits, and they lose power. This gives both of them time to get to know each other, and their family ties. Both find themselves immediately attracted to each other, though they have no intention of acting on this.

Grace is in town to help her sister, and meet her nephew. While Mattie, our heroine in the last book, and Grace’s sister in law, is recovering from the birth of her child, Grace will be helping her sister run the local restaurant.

Mason is almost reading to present his new brews, and finds himself strapped for money to allow the brewery to go live. Grace is a marketing genius, not to mention a millionaire, after selling her cosmetics business. Grace takes on the challenge to help Mason, offering to invest in his business. It takes her a little time to convince him to allow her to help.

Mason is falling hard for Grace, but having been hurt before, is hesitate to go too far, since he knows Grace is going back to London soon. She cannot stay in one place long, especially in a small town like Cricket Creek. What follows is a sweet wonderful romance between Grace and Mason. We also get to see other people we have gotten to know, and the fun of the grand opening of Mason’s brewery.

With her sister in law ready to resume working, and with the brewery functioning well, Grace makes plans to leave. She knows she loves Mason, but feels she will only hurt him in the long run, when her restlessness takes control.   Will Mason be able to convince Grace to stay? or Will he let her go, knowing forcing her to stay will cause her to be unhappy later on?

LuAnn McLane has done another wonderful job in giving us a wonderful & fun story, great couple, & fabulous secondary characters. If you love romance, small town atmosphere and wonderful characters, you need to start this series.
