Bet The Farm by Staci Hart

3.0

Olivia Brent has one summer to save the dairy farm she just inherited. But there's one problem: Jake Milovic. The brooding farmhand who inherited fifty percent of Brent Farm. He's convinced the city girl can't work the land, so he wagers a bet that she can't save it in a summer.

Olivia went in guns blazing. She was happy to leave the city and return to farm life but she had no idea she would be sharing the farm with Jake. Regardless, she brainstormed and got to work opening her grandmother’s old farm store, taking to social media, and bringing the farm back to life. Jake on the other hand was grumpy and wanted nothing to do with the changes. While some might understand his reasoning I thought it was childish because he could have easily let her know his “why” and they could have worked through it, rather than him being an ass the entire time. I loved the supporting cast of characters and all the animals, and I appreciated that the farm itself played a big role in the story. Once Olivia figured Jake out, and she basically forced him to talk to her, things evened out and I was able to enjoy the rest of the story. It had its cute moments for sure.
