About this ebook
A Sapphic Small-Town Romance with Cozy Farm Charm, a One-Night-Stand Reunion, Second Chances, and the Recipe to Love
Rosie Franklin-Smith, junior editor at Savorist Magazine, dreams of writing award-winning features—but right now, she’s stuck chasing stories like how to make a great soup stock. When an exclusive with reclusive celebrity chef Nicola Kim drops into her lap, Rosie has a shot at finally proving herself as a writer.
Nicola recognizes Rosie’s name on the interview request…as someone she had a one-night stand with ten years ago. As soon as Rosie arrives at Sugar Maple Farm, the chemistry between them burns back to life. But it’s complicated. Rosie needs the real story behind Nicola’s disappearance—and when she crosses a line, her actions threaten to destroy the fragile trust of their growing romance.
Short, sweet, and cozy—Sugar Maple Farms delivers Canadian small-town romances that promise a guaranteed Happily Ever After, perfect for fans of Carley Fortune and Elsie Silver (but without the spice).

A second chance romance after a one night stand 7 years ago. From the outset they knew about each other and why they were meeting up again after 7 years so no surprise there. And from the outset, they were still attracted to each other but repressed the attraction, one because of professional reasons and the other because of trust issues. Both were manipulative, trying to alter the outcomes of their meetings, to work things out in their respective favors. What's amazing is they can break off twice within the story when they were not even together yet in the first place! It was rather slow paced as we're led around the idyllic and scenic spots around Sunset County, Ontario. Overall it was an okay Hallmark type romance, enjoyable as they usually are though I'm on the fence about it being swoonworthy... more sighworthy for me at least.
