Shifting Gears by Jazz Forrester

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


What a lovely read! So glad this one was available on NetGalley as a “Read Now” option. The publisher denies all my requests so I grabbed this one while I had the chance. I had requested a new book but, well, you know…

Here’s the blurb:

A spicy, small-town, opposites attract lesbian romance about learning to let go, no matter the cost.

Workaholic Eleanor Cromwell blows into rural Canada, laser focused on her real estate development project. Given the locals already hate her father’s company, she plans to hide away in a cabin and conceal her identity to get the job done. And then her car breaks down…

Sweet, smart, goofy mechanic Dani Cooper is about as laid-back as they come, all rumpled flannels and cheeky grins. Meeting an uptight, out-of-town stranger sparks more than just a tire change.

What starts as a whirlwind summer fling might turn into something more…except Eleanor’s secret threatens to tear everything apart.

Anyway, my first Jazz Forrester book experience was wonderful. So many sweet, caring characters. Loads of humor. Sorry, humour. One of my Canadian friends would tease me for spelling it wrong. Shifting Gears reminded me of how I feel when Kris Bryant hits a home run with a book. Just so damn nice. The angst was fairly low and the resolution at the end felt great. I will definitely read this one again.

For those of you who haven’t read it yet – it came out January 2025 – it’s still available and currently on Kindle Unlimited.

So a huge thanks to NetGalley and thanks also to the publisher for having it available as “Read Now.”
