In The Weeds is the second book in the Lovelight series, a series I have been anticipating and enjoying since I read Lovelight Farms a couple of months ago. This once captured me as much as Lovelight Farms did and more!
This time we followed Beckett Porter, farmer at Lovelight Farms and quiet animal lover who doesn't like the attention he gets from the town and Evelynn St. James a social media influencer who is finding herself quite overwhelmed with her life looking to find something more calm and brings her more joy. Their romance and rekindling in this book was so sweet and tender seeing them try to navigate their feelings for one another after a less than ideal ending to an encounter at the bar. It was so wonderful that they were both able to find their happiness in each other rather then in just what they did.
Learning more about Beckett, his family which I adored how they supported him and each other. Why he was so quiet and kept to himself which he explained it was because of having a social disorder that caused him to be bothered by loud noise or too many crowds of people. Evelynn even had her own need to manage everything and overachieving tendencies to work through, it made them feel more like people and not just characters. I also loved how Beckett showed such care for animals that he was willing to take care of them in his own home when they needed it.
While I know for some that the miscommunication by the end does bother some people, I felt it necessary for Beckett and Evelynn to be able to communicate and Beckett to work through his issues with it. I enjoyed my time with this book, the romance was precious, the town itself once again a great setting, and the story about finding your true happiness made this book another five star for the series! I can't wait to move on to Mixed Signals soon!
