I enjoy this author’s writing style and these characters, but I had such a hard time reading this book at first. These characters were very lusty (they started as a one night stand turned multiple nights, and the characters kept looking back on that hook up) and it often felt like there wasn’t a lot in their relationship besides the lust. I really liked both characters but it took a long time for the characters to get past just revisiting the past dalliances in their memories. I appreciated Beckett’s struggle with social anxiety/overstimulation and Evelyn’s efforts to find herself, but their utter lack of communication as their relationship evolved (especially at the end of the book) was so infuriating. This book maintains the small town feel of the first which I enjoyed. While I love these characters, I didn’t love them together as they were figuring stuff out, especially with how dense they were when loved ones gave them great advice and then they just shut down 😑 they both really suck at relationships. So it was nice to have the epilogue and bonus chapter to put their stable relationship into more context after all the communication/expectation issues resolved themselves.

A beautiful and sensual book! I loved Lovelight Farms and I loved In the Weeds. Usual poor communication trope which was very annoying, but it still made me feel all warm and fuzzy. 

Can’t wait to read Mixed Signals, following Layla.

Taylor swift songs:  “invisible string”, “willow”, “Sweet nothing”

This was a really cute second book in the small town romance “Lovelight farms” interconnected series. This book is different, though, because it is told in duel POV, whereas book 1 (“Lovelight farms”) was told in single pov. This book follows the grumpy tattooed farmer/handyman, Beckett, who is really a secret cinnamon roll (sweet on the inside) and the sunshine-y influencer, Evelyn St James. This is a grumpy-sunshine and one night (well two nights) stand-to-friends-to-lovers. I really liked getting to see Evelyn on her journey to “find her happy” as she is reeling from the realization that her career may not be what she wants anymore. Her and Beckett’s friendship is so endearing and sweet, even though it is obvious they still have feelings for each other. “Invisible string” is definitely their song (“A string that pulled me out of all the wrong arms right into that dove bar, something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire)!! Beckett is literally the sweetest human (NOT a spoiler, happened in the first book) he literally took in a momma cat and her three kittens that were abandoned in their barn😭 and is the most caring and helpful person ever!! Love him!!

I’m not a huge fan of the miscommunication or third act breakup, but, besides that the rest was pretty cute. 

Overall, really cute, I would recommend!  

Age rating: 15+ (two or three steamy scenes 1.5/5🌶️)

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for this ARC. 

After recently reading Lovelight Farms and loving it, I was so excited to return back to these characters and town. Beckett was so interesting in the first book, that I couldn’t wait to see his character explored in this book.

I am happy to say that this book did not disappoint! 

Beckett and Evelyn were so cute! I loved that they both were still thinking about each other even though their time together was so brief. 

Every time Beckett called Evie “honey” or “hun” made me so giddy. The way they interacted was just so precious.

One aspect that was introduced in this book was Beckett’s family, and I loved it. His sisters and parents added to the story, and I loved how he interacted with them.

It was also fun getting to see glimpses of Stella and Luka in this book as well.

My only issue with this book was that Beckett and Evelyn’s conflict was frustrating because it could have been easily avoided had they just communicated better.

I would definitely recommend this book and the first book in this series. I can’t wait to read the next book!
