Featherbed by Annabeth Albert

I've been in the mood for MM romance lately, so I asked some people in a Discord group for some recommendations. I was specifically looking for grumpy/sunshine recommendations that were MM and I knew there was someone who would have some recs for me and man did he come through. Clint recommended several books, but this was the first one I read mostly because it was the shortest, but it also sounded like it would be a cute read. 

The cover doesn't really do it justice so I just want to start by saying if the cover doesn't draw you in, I hope you can look past that and give it a go because it was so good. It took a bit for me to get into it but once I did, I was hooked, and I couldn't stop reading. This is an opposites attract city/farmer romance and while it was recommended to me as a grumpy/sunshine romance I would say it's low on the grump like I wouldn't even necessarily consider Harrison a grump. Anyways, this was a short book easily read in one sitting although it took me two sitting since I started it so late in the day. 

I loved everything about this. I loved the world building and the descriptions. I could easily picture the farm and even the book shop. I loved all of the characters and how this was a good depiction of a small town. Like everyone knew each other and was nice and helpful and not unnecessarily mean like a lot of small-town romances I have read. That being said Finn was a bit judgmental of Harrison because he moved from a big city, but he quickly realizes he was wrong. As for Finn and Harrison, I loved them so much both on their own and as a couple. They are complete opposites but also similar and they both have big hearts and so much love to give. 

I loved how shy Harrison came across. He was just so cute. I loved they Finn helped him come out of his shell a little. And them as a couple...damn was it hot!! This was my first book by this author and after reading this I definitely want to check out her back list and I've already gotten another rec from Clint so hopefully I will get to that sooner rather than later.
