This is the prefect cozy fall romance!

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Audio Adult for an advanced readers copy of this novel for exchange for an honest review. Valerie Bowman captures the true Autumn ambience in "The Honeycrisp Orchard Inn". Ellie Lawson lives the city life at an elite position when her parents call her home to help with the family orchards Harvest Festival. Ellie works closely with her childhood best friend (Aiden) to deliver the best harvest festival yet but could it be more? Please read to find out! I thoroughly enjoyed the build of the Male main character and Female main character and little twists along the way. Bowman paces this novel perfectly along with adding the tropes alot of romance readers love (friends to lovers, forced proximity, childhood sweethearts, grump & sunshine). Personally, I haven't read much of Bowman's work but agree after this novel she will be one to watch. She descriptively sets each scene like your in Stars Hollow with the Gilmore girls and gives some character traits that are similar but I devoured it! Will recommend to anyone who is craving a good fall Read!

Ellie Lawson has been living the big city dream up until she lost both her boyfriend and her dream job in twenty-four hours. Heading back to her parents cozy inn on Long Island she plans out her short rebound. She’ll help them plan their fall festival and then be on her way back to the big apple, hopefully with a new job waiting for her. What she doesn’t anticipate is having to plan the fall festival with stubborn, grumpy Aiden, the son of her parent’s best friends who own the orchard. While they were in separable as kids they have a lot of differences to plow through in order to pull of this event and both the orchard as well as the inn are depending on it for financial survival. As the night get cooler things get hot between these two. But will they be able to last or will they get caught up in the cool fall breeze…

This is such a sweet and fun read perfect for the fall! Ellie and Aiden are both stubborn and determined to get their way (while being obsessed with each other) and the cozy inn/orchard setting adds the perfect touch to the story! I really enjoyed this narrator and found her sassy tone to really bring the characters alive!
