About this ebook

The apple farm is a-buzz with danger...

Lawson loves restoring old vehicles, but the honey of a truck owned by his neighbor is off limits. So is she.

Dani loves her bees, her metal art, and her dog. She doesn’t need anything else, certainly not her family.

As they get to know each other, sparks fly while danger buzzes their way. Now, it’s not only their safety at risk, it’s their hearts, too.

Pick And Choose is the fourth book in Jemi Fraser's Heroes To The Core romance series. Each of these small-town romances can be read as a stand-alone, although they are best enjoyed in order. The book contains a touch of danger, some strong language and sexy times. Enjoy the read!

Ratings and reviews

I loved this book. Lawson was a protector through and through but Dani was no victim. Mechanic Lawson was new to Phail and his family farm, when he meets next door neighbor, bee keeper Dani. The connection is heavy right from the very first moment they meet and only gets stronger. His family ties and her lack of family connection only adds to the depth of feeling between the two. That little element of suspense and danger makes a nice surprise with the beautiful romance that brews.

The fifth book in the Heroes to the Core series is an engaging, well-written story with memorable characters. I enjoyed the powerful connection between Lawson and Dani, specifically how the contrast between his strong family ties and her lack of them added depth to their relationship. The elements of suspense and danger were a great surprise alongside the romance, and I was particularly pleased with the happy ending.

This is book 5 in the Heroes To The Core series and another favorite of mine. I love Dani and how she is true to herself and doesn't let the outside world influence her. She and Lawson bumped heads a few times in the beginning but they quickly realized they were developing feelings for one another. A sweet story with a little but of danger, plenty of found family, so much love, a little spice, and a HEA make this a geat story and entry in the series. I received a free copy of this book via Book
