Focused and unassuming fifth generation cider-maker Sanna Lund has one desire: to live a simple, quiet life on her family’s apple orchard in Door County, Wisconsin. Although her business is struggling, Sanna remains fiercely devoted to the orchard, despite her brother’s attempts to convince their aging father to sell the land.
Single dad Isaac Banks has spent years trying to shield his son Sebastian from his troubled mother. Fleeing heartbreak at home, Isaac packed up their lives and the two headed out on an adventure, driving across the country. Chance—or fate—led them straight to Sanna’s orchard.
Isaac’s helping hands are much appreciated at the apple farm, even more when Sanna’s father is injured in an accident. As Sanna’s formerly simple life becomes increasingly complicated, she finds solace in unexpected places—friendship with young Sebastian and something more deliciously complex with Isaac—until an outside threat infiltrates the farm.
This is the perfect book to cuddle up with and get in the mood for fall given that the story takes place on a family-owned apple orchard in rural Wisconsin. The characters are made vulnerable by the high transparency of their flaws, which makes it easy for the readers to relate to and fall in love with them. I was also impressed by the author's effort to include details on the cider-making process. This book is great for someone looking for a clean romance which moves at a steady pace and has a cozy setting for the reader to melt into.
