Bet The Farm by Staci Hart
5.0
Olivia Brent has left her life in New York to return home to her small town in Northern California. Pop, Olivia’s grandfather, has passed away, leaving her the family dairy farm. She isn’t the only one to inherit the farm. Jake Milovic was Pop’s right hand man and has been like a son to him since he started working at the farm at 16, ten years ago. The farm has fallen into debt and it’s up to the two of them to work together to get the farm to thrive. He thinks she’s become too much of a city girl and thinks she won’t last the summer. She’s determined to prove that she has what it takes to help the farm succeed.
Jake is the perfect brooding, grumpy hero to match Olivia’s positivity and I just LOVED the banter and flirting. They both want the farm to succeed, but they each have their own way of doing that the other doesn’t understand, so it leads to a lot of verbal sparring and funny moments. They’re also grieving in different ways and have to grow to understand each other. The story also an element of mystery which was fun to see unravel.
I have nothing but good things to say about this book. I had been wanting to read this book once I heard about it and am so thankful I was gifted an ARC for an honest review. I devoured it in one sitting. It was such a joy to read!
You’ll fall in love with the animals, you’ll fall in love with Olivia and Jake, and you’ll fall in love with Brent Farm. I have a feeling Staci Hart isn’t finished with this world and I’m hoping we get to visit it again very soon.
