I always enjoy reading Denise Hunter’s books. She is a phenomenal author. I adored this series and impatiently awaited the last installment. Harvest Moon was an incredible read and I highly recommend it.

I am a huge fan of Denise Hunter's books and Harvest Moon did not disappoint. Lauren and Gavin have been dealing with heartbreak and taking in a little girl changes everything. Another love story that always makes me feel good at the end.

HARVEST MOON is the third novel in the Riverbend Romance series by DENISE HUNTER and it is lovely to come across many of the characters from the first two books. However the book can easily stand alone. It is a most enjoyable and inspirational read with a really deep message about children, priorities, second chances and the need for forgiveness.
When the divorced Gavin and Laurel Robinson find they are named in their best friends’ will as guardians for their daughter Emma should anything happen to them, it is quite a shock. Will the Lord use this situation to help them get past their terrible grief at losing their three year old son Jesse, who was killed in an accident when Gavin was driving, and will the Robinson family ever forgive Laurel for the deadly depression Gavin went through as a result of losing her as well as their child?
The characters are well portrayed and we are drawn into their emotions. We see how Gavin neglects his wife in his determination to not end up a loser like his father and to provide her with everything she needs to make up for her difficult childhood, but instead adding to her sense of loneliness and rejection
Little Emma is delightful. We see her coming to trust “Waurel” and “Gabin”, who make her well being their priority, especially when Mallory’s sociopathetic mother puts a spanner in the works!…….
I am not going to tell you any more for fear of spoiling things for you.
I highly recommend Harvest Moon for the heartwarming story and subtle Christian message.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

Loved reading this book and series. If you haven't read it yet I highly recommend doing so. I love a variety of books.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy of Harvest Moon by Denise Hunter. This heartwarming small-town romance blends themes of forgiveness, second chances, and family in a way that feels both tender and uplifting. The characters are well-drawn and relatable, and the emotional depth kept me invested from start to finish. Denise Hunter’s vivid descriptions make the setting come alive, and the slow-burn romance had just the right mix of sweetness and tension. A perfect cozy read.
