Farmer Frownypants and City Girl give a whole new meaning to the word chemistry.
Holy hell, this book was smokin'. The chemistry between Jack and Margot was seriously off the charts, whether they were fighting, bantering, flirting, or about to make some magic.
"He was kissing me like I'd never been kissed before. Like he was going to war. Like he didn't care about breathing. Like something in him needed something in me so desperately, he had to find it or die trying".
Yes please, can I get me some of that?
This book seriously brought out all the feels. Jack was such a deep and complex character, changed and jaded because of life's tragedies. Though his choices in life were questionable, the size of his heart never was:
"I'd already met the love of my life; I'd known her since we were kids. I'd married her and I'd lost her".
Melanie Harlow did an AMAZING job with his character. I wanted to slap him at times, but oh how I loved him. There were some incredibly swoon-worthy moments in this book, but my favorites included the following Jackisms:
"Careful, city girl, I'll want to keep you" and "I'm not looking for my first love, I'm looking for my last". Be still my heart.....
And Margot, bless her heart. She showed up on the farm with her big heart and just wanted to make everything better. Though she went to the farm for a job, she found so much more. My heart broke for them both at times as they went back and forth in this angsty drama.
Melanie Harlow is an automatic "one'click" author for me. She is truly gifted with her words, and this book is no exception. You will not be disappointed.
