A HOPEFUL HARVEST
Her orchard. His heart. Can they successfully heal both?
When her family's apple orchard is damaged by a storm, single mom Libby Creighton knows the harvest she's depending on is in jeopardy. Though he prefers a solitary life, Jax McClaren has the skills to revive Libby's orchard -- and her guarded heart. But he'll have to overcome the secrets of his past if he and Libby are going to have a fruitful future together.
Golden Grove (series)
My Review:
Squeeeaaallll!!!! A new series by Ruth Logan Herne and it promises all of her trademark homegrown, faith-filled, toe-curling goodness. I love the way this author creates a community and develops multi-generational relationships that bring such depth and realism to her stories. I'm already enamored with Golden Grove and love the apple orchard family farm setting of this first novel.
Libby faces her challenges with backbone and spunk despite overwhelming odds. Jax is guarding a lot of secrets and harbors reclusive tendencies but there's something about Libby and her sweet little girl and ailing grandfather that pulls him out of his solitary existence. She's wary of accepting help from a stranger but he gently storms her defenses and soon becomes a fixture on the farm -- and in her family.
But, oh, those secrets! Had my tummy tied up in knots and my nerves jangling through out the entire read. A slice of real life -- with just as much angst. Herne delivers heart and hope in this beautiful love story where two broken souls find a way to become whole together.
My thanks to the author for gifting me with a copy of this book.

Nice way to start the new year with a book review re Ruthy! Her books are always good. Hope all had a nice celebration. Mine was curled on the couch with a book and the TV turned on, scanning various fireworks festivities. I don't get out in the cold and damp anymore to watch in person! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you, CC. My traditions run more into the stay snug inside and host a game night or just plain ol' curl up with a good book and fall asleep before midnight. lol. Good luck, CC!
DeleteGreat review Kav! I have Ruthy's book on my reading stack and hope to get to it in the next week. Ruthy's books are always good!
ReplyDeleteMy new year's eve was something like the meme that says, "let's get this party started, I need to be in bed by 9 o'clock", lol. Actually I didn't turn in until 10:30 to read a while since the neighborhood fireworks were just getting started.
New Year's fireworks sounds good in principle -- but reading in bed is better. :-) May it be a bookalicious New Year for us all.
DeleteI have this one waiting for me in my TBR bookshelf! I love, love, love Ruthy's writing and can't wait to dig into this one. Her family centered books are the best, in my opinion 😊💖

DeleteLibby and Jax sound like a combination meant to be. Can't wait to read their story in "A HOPEFUL HARVEST". You just have to love the combination of backbone and spunk. Bet she can get those secret out of him and cheer him up doing it. :)
