Fall in love with Vermont in this USA Today best-selling series.

The last person Griffin Shipley expects to find stuck in a ditch on his Vermont country road is his ex-hookup. Five years ago, they’d shared a couple of steamy nights together. But that was a lifetime ago.

At 27, Griff is now the accidental patriarch of his family farm. Even his enormous shoulders feel the strain of supporting his mother, three siblings, and a dotty grandfather. He doesn’t have time for the sorority girl who’s shown up expecting to buy his harvest at half price.

Vermont was never in Audrey Kidder’s travel plans. Neither was Griff Shipley. But she needs a second chance with the restaurant conglomerate employing her. Okay—a fifth chance. And no self-righteous lumbersexual farmer will stand in her way.

They’re adversaries. They want entirely different things from life. Too bad their sexual chemistry is as hot as Audrey’s top secret enchilada sauce, and then some.

Warning: This stand-alone novel contains growly alpha farmers, gourmet yumminess, a steamy outdoor shower, and proof that farmers don't mind getting dirty.

I love this book. I have to give some context, I came to it after being completely irritated by the book I had just finished. Everything about it was wrong, to the point I was angry at end, both at myself for not being able to stop a book in the middle, and the author for writing characters that whine constantly and make every single bad decision. Ever.

My point is, I was extremely cranky when I started Bittersweet. I even felt sorry for it, any book following one I despise is a harder sell, for me.

This book is PERFECT. I have zero crankiness, and warm feels all over the place. I love the characters, setting, narrators, every single thing about this book. All of the chef-y and farm aspects hit my sweet spot, and the Star Wars references put it over the top. This is my first experience with Sarina Bowen, and I am a fan for life!

The best way I can describe this book is "Hallmark Story with Sauce". I was a great listen and made me laugh. I really enjoyed it. On to book 2.

I had my eye on this book for the longest time and recently decided to read it. I wish that I would have read it a long time ago. Such a good story. The narrators were perfect and appropriate for each character.

Cute love story that started as a hook up. Slow build romance and very good dual POV narration. Made me want to listen to the next book. Recommended for contemporary romance fans.

Honestly it started off kind off slow and I almost stopped but then it picked up and I really enjoyed it. I liked the characters! And the narration was of course amazing!

Good book
