The Apple Tree is the second book in the Sunday Morning series. It’s a standalone wholesome age gap, forbidden romance between a preacher's daughter and the new high school teacher in town. The story is told in dual pov and the audiobook is dual narrated by Willa Jaymes & Gregory Salinas. It follows the MCs Eve and Kyle. First off , I loved the name pun. A preacher's daughter named Eve, who lived up to the name was 👩🏾🍳💋.
A part of me hates that I enjoyed this book so much because it features the age gap which gives me the greatest ick. Eve is 18 and Kyle is 28. The ten years is a tolerable age gap, but I hate when books feature age gaps during that decade when you're still a teenager and transitioning into adulthood. So, kudos to the author for writing such a good book that had me turning the other cheek.😜
With that said, I truly enjoyed this book!
The storyline and plot were fast paced and entertaining. Eve is a spitfire and the wild child of the family. She must get that from her granny, whom I LOVED! Her grandma was a great secondary character and their relationship was sweet. I'm glad that Eve had her to confide in. I appreciated that Kyle tried to resist his attraction to Eve at first , but we all know that resisting an Eve is impossible.
Kyle was a great father and his son was another cute, secondary character that I enjoyed. By the end of the book, you could truly feel Kyle's love for Eve. This was beautiful because throughout the book, she always doubted herself and felt unworthy of it. She hid behind her emotions with humor and her numbing agent of choice. Hugs. I luved the banter, chemistry, and attention to detail. Two 👍🏾👍🏾
