ABOUT THE BOOK

Willow Connor has one shot to save her family’s farm – turning it into Birchbrook’s first ever pumpkin patch. There’s just one problem: she has exactly zero pumpkins and only six weeks to make it happen. Everyone in the close-knit town thinks she’s crazy, but she’s determined to prove them wrong.

Enter Dylan Henderson, a hotshot property consultant with a clipboard full of reasons why selling is the smarter choice. Determined to stand her ground, Willow makes him a bold offer – stay and watch her turn the farm around. To her surprise, he agrees.

Now, as Willow throws everything into making her pumpkin patch a success (even if it means buying every pumpkin in the county), she also finds herself learning a thing or two from Dylan – about business, about ambition… and maybe about love?

Will she save the farm and prove everyone wrong? And when the deal is up, will Dylan walk away – or has he found something worth sticking around for?

MY THOUGHTS

What better way to pass a hot day in July than by reading a Fall themed book? Full of all the autumn themes you’d want, Fall leaves swirling, pumpkin picking at the pumpkin patch and oh yes pumpkin spice drinks. If you’re not a fan of those you’re missing out.

He’s a city slicker intent on buying the financially failing farm, she’s a farmer’s daughter, it goes back in her family for generations.
Sparks fly when Willow Connor and Dylan Henderson meet, he’s determined to prove to his brother he can make the sale, and she’s just as determined to keep the farm in the family and prove its worthiness and financially stability.

With six weeks to turn a failure into a win and come up with a big plan to change the landscape of things and show not only the towns people but her father she can do it she better put her thinking cap on quickly. She never thought she’d be dreaming about pumpkins while dreaming about the enemy and how his kisses would be.

Fun, romantic and lots of Fall vibes. Great character development, so charming. Loved the main characters.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
