Great characters. Sisters, Autumn and Ember, so different yet so close. Really enjoyed how this story all came together and played out. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from NetGalley.

I absolutely loved this book, it’s a fun, sexy, and heartwarming story. I loved the family dynamics of Autumn, her sister Ember and how they took care of their parents. Autumn is the designer, Ember is the builder. They hired Mike and it’s obvious he and Ember belong together. Love that Autumn had a crush on Tash from high school. He’s just returned to his hometown with his daughter Sadie. Autumn falls hard for them and she’s so good with Aadie, my heart just melts. Tash can’t help falling for Autumn but his main concern is for caring for his daughter. It’s such a great read. I highly recommend this book.

Lori Foster has written another heartwarming novel about family dynamics, finding true love, and an animal rescue full of quirky characters. And then there is Pavlov, a redbone coonhound who watches over the entire Somerset family.

The Somerset family, parents Tracey and Flynn, and sisters Autumn and Ember, all live on a farm that serves as an animal rescue. Their hired man, Mike, lives in a loft above the barn. Autumn and Ember were so different in many ways, but where it was important they had each other’s back.

Ember is the builder, Autumn is the designer, which I thought was funny because Ember was the one who always looked perfectly made up while Autumn showed no interest in her personal appearance, preferring to dress for comfort. Ember is the party girl, with an active dating life; Autumn is the very responsible one who would rather stay at home reading one of Karen Rose’s novels and eating ice cream. When Tash Ducker moves back to town after being gone for years, Ember sees an opportunity to hook up Autumn with the man she had a crush on in high school.

I liked everything about this book, but my favorite things are Tash’s relationship with his adorable seven-year-old daughter Sadie; the way Ember and Mike danced around their mutual attraction; and the way Autumn and Ember bantered but always had each other’s back. And Pavlov, who watched over all the humans and animals on the family farm.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and this is my honest review.
