Considering my favorite part of any novel (but especially of romance novels) is character development, I was sorely disappointed in the general lack of any in this book. I feel like Ms Audrey gave us nothing, & I was left feeling very meh about her ending. The smutty scenes were also...uninteresting. He didn't lick her pussy throughout the whole entire book, but it was somehow the best sex of Audrey's life? Mmmmm, okay ms girl, go on telling yourself that...I will know the truth... I was also hella upset that Audrey ended up giving up her D R E A M of becoming a chef (which she states multiple times is the only career prospect that has ever made her happy) just to play farmer's wife for some loser who won't go down on her & ices her out while she's crying & upset for a "mistake" which was not in any way her fault!? But I'm expected to be happy for her since she gets a part-time job...talking to farmers? Respectfully, I feel sorry for her.
I cannot wait for the sequel where Audrey leaves farmer boy's ass, gets a real job (as a chef), & finds a man who will eat her out until she cries (positive).

Loved: small town setting, all the foodie content, the Shipley family and side characters
Wasn’t for me: I didn’t feel the emotional connection just the physical/lust, storyline was a bit on the predictable side

I love the world that Sarina Bowen creates in these books, and the characters. I’m not sure I like the ending. They get their HEA/HFN, but at what cost to Audrey?

The pig slaughter & gutting was just too long and graphic for my poor vegan heart. Not very sexy / romantic if you ask me
