Will an apple a day…
Keep love at bay?
For Cass Gentry, coming home to Lake Miniagua, teenage half sister in tow, is bittersweet. But her half of the orchard she inherited awaits, and so does a fresh face—Luke Rossiter, her new business partner. Even though they butt heads in business, they share one key piece of common ground: refusing to ever fall in love again. But as their lives get bigger, that stance doesn’t feel like enough…

My Review
I really enjoyed this sweet story. There are other stories related to this one, all set in this quaint community. However, the author did a really good job of making this book readable as a stand alone. I had not read the other stories and had no trouble diving into this one.
I liked Cass and Luke immediately and I loved watching as their attraction and connection to each other grew. It was interesting to see how good these two were together, even when they were both resistant to commitment. There were also wonderful side characters, including Zoey, Seth, and Royce.
Cass and Luke carried some real fears around with them. Although they each had been through trials that had made them stronger, their past experiences kept them both worried about the future. I think one of the most likable things about this couple was the fact that their fears weren’t unfounded. What each of them feared happening was something that was a realistic possibility. But the question was, could love help them overcome their fears?
(4 stars)
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
