Tender Mercies by Eli Easton

3.0

I probably shouldn’t have read this when I was in a grumpy, cynical mood. This is a contemporary romance with a fairytale quality to it and ms. grumpypants here had trouble suspending disbelief and just going with it.

A series of (increasingly) improbable events conspire to first bring together a naive vegan who just bought a sanctuary farm and an ex-Amish farmboy who needs a place to live, and then give then their happy ending. There’s a fair amount of discussion of fate and things happening for a reason and I think in a less grumpy, things-don’t-actually-happen-for-a-reason type mood, I would have been able to go with it and just be charmed by the clever pot-bellied pig and the vegan farmer who refuses to milk his cows.

This is set in the same county as the previous book in the series - the MCs from the first book show up briefly but it’s definitely stand alone.
