Bet The Farm by Staci Hart

 

🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

I'd follow The Adventures of Farmgirl any day! Bet The Farm is a feel-good, enemies to more romance that will have your heart racing from both laughter and suspense.

Olivia is a breath of fresh air, and quite possibly one of my favorite heroines to date. Her strength, creativity, loyalty and witty comebacks make the entire story such a wonderful experience.

Jake's swoon level is of the level 5 variety, with his dedication to protect the only place he's ever truly called home. His well-guarded heart makes up for his macho tendencies that he sometimes has a hard time keeping under wraps.

From start to finish, this book had me laughing, holding my breath, swooning, and even shedding a few tears. This is one of the best releases I've read in 2021 and I will definitely be adding it to my physical book collection as well!

SUMMARY:

Olivia Brent has one summer to save the dairy farm she just inherited.

But there's one problem, and it's not her lactose intolerance.

Jake Milovic.

The brooding farmhand has inherited exactly fifty percent of Brent Farm, and he's convinced the city girl can't work the land, he bets she can't save it in a summer.

Determined to prove him wrong, Olivia accepts what might be the dumbest wager of her life.

His strategy to win seems simple: follow her around, shirtlessly distracting her between bouts of relentless taunting. And it's effective -- if his dark eyes and rare smiles aren't enough to sidetrack her, the sweaty, rolling topography of the manbeast's body would do the trick.

What they don't know: they'll have to weather more than each other.

Mysterious circumstances throw the farm into disarray, and with the dairy farm in danger, Olivia and Jake have to work together. But when they do, there's more to fear than either of them imagined.

Because now their hearts are on the line, and the farm won't be the only casualty if they fail.

Catching the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox (Circle B Ranch #2)

 

❤❤❤❤❤

The Bishop family is one of my favorites! Catching the Cowboy is a slow burn, brother's best friend romance that'll run you through a gambit of emotions.

Rowan Bishop has had her share of bad luck with boyfriends, so when she moves back home, she isn't about to put up with any crap from the one guy who's tormented her for years, right along her brother.

Adam (Diesel) Hayes has only ever wanted one woman and Riley Bishop has repeatedly made it clear that his sister is off-limits. Just when he starts to get the one thing he's wanted in life, his world is flipped on it's axis when his past finally catches up with him.

Kennedy Fox brings us back to the amazing Circle B Ranch and the Bishop clan we all adore! With the perfect blend of family drama, witty humor and romance, you won't be able to put the book down until the end.

I listened to the audiobook and admittedly threw my earbud twice, but always came right back to the story (I have no patience for stubborn men, lol.) The last few chapters will have you immediately wanting to dive into Wrangling the Cowboy to see what happens with Maize and Gavin next.

Don't miss out on this wonderful addition to the series, as it brings back some of the Bishop characters that I can't get enough of!!!

SUMMARY:

Settling down and starting a family is something Diesel has considered, regardless of his one-night stand reputation. However, he just might be single forever since who he wants is off-limits -- his best friend's little sister.

He's been in love with her for years, but betraying his friendship could ruin everything.

Rowan Bishop is over men, especially after finding out her boyfriend cheated and left her heartbroken. After graduating from college, she's back home and has to face the one guy who purposely gets under her skin -- her older brother's best friend.

She hates that she's attracted to him, but she's willing to fight for who she wants.

Spending time together is a bad idea, but neither can deny the chemistry sizzling between them. Late night talks turn into spontaneous adventures and just when Rowan's willing to admit how she truly feels, Diesel's past catches up with him and ruins their picture-perfect romance.

One secret turns into another and before either can grasp their new reality, more truths unravel -- threatening to expose their forbidden relationship.

Piece of My Heart by Sydney Logan

🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

Piece of My Heart is a beautiful second chance story. I love high school sweethearts, they're some of the most genuine romances to read.

When Amber Tucker is introduced to readers, she's finally brave enough to leave her husband, after he goes to far and hits their son. Fleeing back to the hometown she once ran from, she tries to start over and create a better life for her son.

I'm from a small town, so watching everyone know Amber and her life story is no surprise to me. She has a great support system of friends and family to lean on, but her number one priority is Cade, her 10 year old son.

Noah Murphy has never stopped loving Amber, even after the betrayal that took her out of his life. He's the ultimate book boyfriend and everything I'd want in a guy.

I loved every chapter of this story, but the epilogue was the highlight for me. It gives you the perfect closure and made me cry.

Sydney Logan knows how to write a beautiful romance, with minimal angst and just the right amount of drama and romance. Well done!

**Trigger warning:

If spousal abuse is a trigger for you, be cautious, but it's very minimal, and a vital part of the story.

Summary:

They say true love never fades. I've spent the last decade, and a fortune in paint, making sure of it.

Amber Tucker never dreamed she'd return to Cedar Grove, but when she finally finds the courage to leave her abusive husband, she knows her old hometown is her only option. Desperate for a new life, Amber takes her ten-year-old son and moves in with her Aunt. She prays for a fresh start while hoping to avoid her childhood sweetheart - the man whose heart she broke nearly a decade ago.

Noah Murphy has spent the last ten years trying to forget Amber Tucker. He's had a hard time letting go - as evidenced by the big red heart on his farm's grain silo. Noah painted it when he was sixteen and crazy in love, and every spring, he gives the heart a fresh coat of paint. It's all he has left - the only reminder that Amber was real.

That is, until she returns to Cedar Grove.

When her husband comes calling, Amber knows she has to break the cycle of abuse, once and for all. But, when she takes matters into her own hands, can Noah protect her from the consequences of her actions? Or, will he lose her all over again?

But how unreachable is it without experience or help? A handsome new guest at her family's B&B has what it takes to make it come true.
