Harvest Dance by Jennifer Faye – Review & Giveaway

 

“Beneath the harvest moon…
true love can bloom.”

A single dad, who’s in over his head, and an event planner running from her past, are drawn together on charming Bluestar Island by a determined seven-year-old and her escape-artist goat.

Event planner, Charlotte “Aster” Smith, has fled the only life she has ever known. The situation has left her questioning her own judgment as she cautiously tries to create a new life for herself on Bluestar Island. Taking the job of event coordinator for the small town is a step in the right direction. The only problem is it’s currently a part-time position, but the mayor suggests with additional funding the position could transform into a full-time job. In the meantime, she needs a second job in order to stay financially afloat.

Farmer and single father, Sam Bell, is struggling to keep his aging farm from going bankrupt while raising his young daughter. And now that his daughter’s babysitter is heading off to college, he needs help. So when he finds Aster is in need of work, he thinks his problems are solved. But things aren’t always what they seem. And he can’t help wondering what Aster is keeping from him.

In the lingering rays of a Bluestar Island sunset, Sam and Aster find themselves dancing upon the sand. As they help each other heal, the possibility of a future together becomes tangible. But will the ghosts from their pasts extinguish this budding romance?

Includes a delicious recipe for Aster’s Amazing Apple Cobbler!

In My Opinion

I loved visiting Bluestar Island again and catching up with some fictional friends from the first book in Jennifer Faye’s series while meeting new ones (and hoping to see some of them again in future books).

Let’s talk about what made Harvest Dance a book I didn’t want to put down. I can give it to you in two words: Sam and Aster. These two sense the deep hurt and tragedy in each other and it draws them together. While their experiences were different, their emotional baggage connected them. Watching Sam come out of his hole of isolation with Aster’s encouragement was such a joy. And we can’t forget about sweet Nikki.

The connection to characters, charming setting, and residents with plenty of personality are worth visiting. But be warned, once you experience Bluestar Island, you won’t want to stay away.
