Come What Maybe
Publish Date: January 24, 2023
Genre: Romance/Fiction/Romantic Comedy
Social media strategist Lauren Wallace plans everything. But when she returns to the charming—if not too small for comfort—town of Seaside Cove, it’s only about a second before her tough-love Grams is already on her case. So when Grams tells her not to go to that bar, Lauren decides it’s time for a temporary rebellion. Which is exactly when the trouble starts.
Grams was right. The bar was not a good plan. Because suddenly super-cute bar owner Ethan McAllister has gone from being Lauren’s (kind of) high school nemesis to a very unexpected one-night stand. And worse, Lauren’s attempts to resume her ultra-responsible life keep getting thwarted by more unwelcome spontaneity. And a pregnancy.
Now there’s a baby on the way, Lauren’s the talk of the entire town, and all her planning has gone right out the window. All that’s missing is childbirth to make her pain complete. But it’ll be nothing compared to Grams’s reaction when she finds out that Lauren broke the biggest rule of all…falling for the wrong guy.
Kerri Carpenter
Kerri Carpenter began writing in her grandmother's kitchen at the age of seven in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, PA. A life-long fan of reading, she got lost in the worlds of The Baby-sitters Club and Sweet Valley High. She also assumed that everyone had characters and plots forming in their heads at all times. Once she turned to romance novels, she couldn't get enough of books with happy endings, so she started writing her own. Now, Kerri writes contemporary romances, usually set in small towns. She enjoys reading, cooking, watching movies, taking Zumba classes, rooting for Pittsburgh sports teams, and anything sparkly. Kerri lives in Northern Virginia with her adorable (and mischievous) poodle mix, Harry.

Everything in Lauren Wallace's life is planned down to the letter, she has her plan in place and she never strays from it... which makes her feel very predictable and boring. Just once she'd like to do something out of character, something wild. So she waltzes through the doors of the local bar, and that's where things start to go array... and not according to her plan at all!
Come What Maybe is a delightfully penned small town romance that comes with lovable characters that will easily charm their way into your heart. Lauren and Ethan have a complicated relationship, back in high school they would be friends one day and enemies the next, and that distaste has kind of stuck with them. Not to mention their complete opposites, so they very seldom agree on anything. But when Lauren marches into his bar looking for a good time, they suddenly start to agree on everything... that is of course until morning comes! Now these two find themselves in unfamiliar territory, liking each other more and disagreeing less... it's as if it's meant to be. Or is it?
Watching these two wander into unfamiliar territory and find love was a lot of fun, their story was sweet, romantic, funny at times, and good on the heart! Highly recommend!
