5.0

"Leaf It to Me" by Laney Hatcher is a heartwarming, small-town romance that feels like a cozy hug on a crisp autumn day. Candace Judd’s return to Kirby Falls is a journey of rediscovery, not just of her family’s apple orchard but of herself—and the charmingly rugged Mark Mercer.

Laney Hatcher beautifully captures the magic of second chances and the pull of home. Candace’s determination to reconnect with her roots is relatable and inspiring, while Mark’s quiet strength and vulnerability make him a swoon-worthy leading man. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their slow-burn romance unfolds with all the charm of a starry night at the orchard.

The vivid descriptions of Kirby Falls and the orchard make you feel like you’re right there, surrounded by the scent of apples and the warmth of a close-knit community. This story is about finding where you belong, facing your fears, and realizing that love sometimes grows where you least expect it.

A fantastic addition to the Kirby Falls series, Leaf It to Me will leave you smiling, swooning, and ready to pack your bags for a small-town escape.
