A man who’s been moving his whole life finally finds a reason to stay put.


Charlie Matheson has spent his life taking care of things. When his parents died two days before his eighteenth birthday, he took care of his younger brother, even though that meant putting his own dreams on hold. He took care of his father’s hardware store, building it into something known several towns over. He took care of the cat he found in the woods…so now he has a cat.


When a stranger with epic tattoos and a glare to match starts coming into Matheson’s Hardware, buying things seemingly at random and lugging them off in a car so beat-up Charlie feels bad for it, his instinct is to help. When the man comes in for the fifth time in a week, Charlie can’t resist intervening.


Rye Janssen has spent his life breaking things. Promises. His parents’ hearts. Leases. He isn’t used to people wanting to put things back together—not the crumbling house he just inherited, not his future and certainly not him. But the longer he stays in Garnet Run, the more he can see himself belonging there. And the more time he spends with Charlie, the more he can see himself falling asleep in Charlie’s arms…and waking up in them.


Is this what it feels like to have a home—and someone to share it with?

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Best Laid Plans, the second book in the Garnet Run series, is a beautiful romance. This Roan Parrish book is easily read as a standalone. 

Rye's lost and alone in the world. He's always been a drifter, too afraid to make roots. Inheriting his grandfather's home brings him to this small town. The result? He falls in love with both the town and a man. 

Charlies owns the local hardware store. He's never had a chance to fully live. Spending his life raising his brother and growing up way too early, meeting Rye is a chance to learn how to live. 

Oh, how I adore the beginning days for these men, as Rye stumbles his way through the hardware store. He's so clueless about anything handy wise and it's adorable.

But, ever better, I love the way these two stumble their way towards love, as it isn't easy to change one's ways so drastically. 

The questions and mystery of his grandfather loom throughout, as everyone in this small town knew his grandfather, but he has yet to learn much about the reclusive man. 

This is a beautiful tale full of first times, restoring a home, and restoring one's heart. 

The writing is great, with plenty of charm, emotion, and layers to this tale. The characters easily come to life and the storyline is fluid and perfectly compelling.

Best Laid Plans is sweet and tender throughout. Roan Parrish beings plenty of emotion to this small town romance.

Roan Parrish lives in Philadelphia, where she is gradually attempting to write love stories in every genre.


When not writing, she can usually be found cutting her friends’ hair, meandering through whatever city she’s in while listening to torch songs and melodic death metal, or cooking overly elaborate meals. She loves bonfires, winter beaches, minor chord harmonies, and self-tattooing. One time she may or may not have baked a six-layer chocolate cake and then thrown it out the window in a fit of pique.
