Where the Heart Is

 Where the Heart Is

Mila Hayes spent most of her childhood on her grandparent’s farm in Ashe Ridge and there is not much that she will not do to keep it now that it is hers, her brother Will left town as soon as his last exams were over and after she finished hers her grandmother left as well, Mila and her grandfather kept everything going until he sold the farm to her, but things are not easy being a lentil farmer and Mila is making it into a farm stay as well, but she needs a money injection and if that means marrying her older neighbour then so be it but when Sawyer Mann best friend of her brother and the guy she has always had a crush on arrives for the wedding just after her humiliation, Mila is wondering what to do, trust doesn’t come easy to Mila.

Sawyer is determined to help Mila in anyway he can but she is so independent, helping her is not going to be easy being a land broker he sets out to help, but will it all be thrown back in his face as they both can no longer resist the spark and electricity the arcs between them, if and probably when his secrets comes out will he be able to convince her how much he loves her?

Adelaide Hayes returns home to Ashe Ridge for her granddaughter’s wedding after leaving her husband, Jack fourteen years ago, it is time to sort out their past but when she knocks on Jack’s door so many emotions fly through her and Jack himself is stunned to see Addy on his doorstep after all of these years, could there be any chance that talking about the past could bring them back together, because it certainly feels like the spark is still there.

Two lovely romances both with characters that were very easy to get to know and love Mila and Sawyer are a perfect match in my eyes but there are a few ups and downs before they get there and Addy and Jack a lot to get out in the open for them, this is one that I do highly recommend to any lover of a good rural romance, and I am very much hoping that we will be back in Ashe Ridge to see Will get his.

My thanks to Harlequin AU for my ARC to read and review.
