Happy Medium by Sarah Adler
4.0

Sarah Adler's newest release, HAPPY MEDIUM, is a charming, witty, and endearing contemporary romance.

Gretchen Acorn is a con artist with a moral code, as a 'medium' she helps her clients communicate with their loved ones, but only if she thinks she can help her clients grieve. When a regular client requests Gretchen's help with a ghost on her bridge partner's farm, Gretchen finds it hard to say no.

However, the farmer she meets is not the farmer she expected at the farm. Charlie Waybill is young, hot, and wants nothing to do with Gretchen and her schemes. He sends Gretchen away, but as she starts her journey back, she encounters the real ghost haunting the farm, Everett, - and he enlists her help to break the family curse and save Charlie. As Gretchen convinces Charlie to give her one month to help Everett (and him), she figures out that she needs to let go of her con woman tendencies to get Charlie to trust - and maybe love - her.

I was really looking forward to this release, and I wasn't disappointed. The banter and humor between Gretchen and Everett had me cackling throughout the book. Gretchen's character development was wonderful, and the relationship development between her and Charlie was slow and sweet. Gretchen has to face her past and not only be honest with herself, but with Charlie.

This was a lighthearted and fun read full of family, love, and friendship.
