About this ebook

The women of The Homegrown Café Book Club are over 40, single, and loving it. Fate, however, has a different plan with a younger man for every last one of them.

Organic farmer Riley Fenniman is happily single at forty-seven and refuses to acknowledge an attraction to her younger accountant, let alone surrender to it. Unfortunately, a legal catch in her farm’s ownership and a health scare give her no choice in the matter. The women of The Homegrown Café Book Club have the perfect plan to ensure Riley’s cousin can’t get his greedy paws on her legacy, but it includes a husband and two pubescent girls.

CPA Deacon Jeffries has carried a torch for his favorite client for over a year, but she would probably sooner light him with it than return his affection. She makes an offer he can’t refuse to save her farm, one that makes his wish come true and gives his daughters the mother they need—except for lessons in dropping f-bombs. When the secret she’s keeping reveals itself, he’ll have to choose between self-preservation and love.

Riley came off as abrasive with a thick wall around her preventing anyone from getting too close to hurt her or be hurt if she loses her life to breast cancer. Ever since her mammography showed further testing was needed she was a wreck determined that she was going to die and how could she keep her awful cousin from taking over the farm and destroying it. Her accountant Deke that she spars with regularly offers to marry her to secure the farm, not knowing the real reason why. His daughters were snarky, funny, and wormed their way into Riley's heart even though she didn't want them to. I laughed out loud over her encounters with them and Deke. But I also felt her worry and pain behind the front she put up.

This story was a quick little bite of fun. It takes the marriage of convenience theme and tips it ever so slightly to the side. I love that this series has leading characters that have lived more life. In this case, an unapologetic single woman who has never wanted marriage or even a serious relationship and the divorced single dad of two daughters. I kinda started falling in love with Deacon when we met him in the previous book, and this story pretty much cemented those feelings. Riley was a tougher nut to crack. There were times that her snark and independence came across as just plain mean and that didn’t sit well with me. However, watching her finally get vulnerable with her emotions made it a lot easier to forgive her bad attitude when it reared up. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.

The character work and story line made this book a great addition to the series and made my feelings about this series appear to be correct. This is a highly entertaining series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
