About this ebook

She breathed new life into her family’s newspaper. His goal is to buy the Bayberry Gazette while trying not to fall for the woman opposed to the sale.

Foreign correspondent Sadie Plummer left her hometown in her rearview mirror years ago. Now she’s back and filling in at the family newspaper. But when she finds writing the feel-good articles inspirational…when a stray cat crosses her path…and when the Pumpkin Festival needs volunteers, she finds herself putting down roots in Bayberry.

Reed Stanton is the owner of Rumor Quill Media. He’s interested in acquiring the Bayberry Gazette, but first he wants to do some in-person research. However, on his first day in town, he runs into a beautiful but stubborn woman who utterly distracts him.

Far-fetched rumors about Reed’s presence in town begin to circulate, making Sadie all the more curious about him. And when Reed learns the mystery woman’s identity, he knows he’s in trouble in more ways than one. But as their lives intertwine, their feelings grow, and business gets complicated.

Ratings and reviews

This was a clean, sweet story. The story flowed well, with a few grammatical errors and omissions. Unfortunately, I couldn't really get into the story. I didn't feel the romance, tension or angst between the main characters as well as between Sadie and her parents. I felt as if I was being told about these things. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a sweat and emotional story set in Bayberry, Vermont. It is the third story in the series but can be enjoyed as a stand alone read. It is an interesting story that is nicely developed with wonderful characters. This is Reed and Sadie's road to love, happiness and more. There are a few bumps and misunderstandings along the way.
