About this ebook

He thought he had the perfect plan…

When elite university professor Keaton Andrews walks into a meeting with the dean, he expects to hear that his tenure application is on track. Instead, his beloved department is cut. Regrouping in Silver Falls with family seems like his best option. One morning, he takes a risk and orders a pumpkin spice latte from the beautiful barista at the local coffee shop. Too bad she doesn’t seem to find him nearly as intriguing as he finds her…

Raine Hanover is no longer swayed by a charming smile, especially by a nerdy—and distractingly handsome—academic. She’s taking a break from romance and focusing on running her increasingly busy coffee shop. But when Raine is involuntarily put in charge of organizing the town’s Halloween bash, Keaton jumps in to help, and it’s not long before sparks, and kisses, fly.

As the leaves begin to fall, Raine wonders if she should risk taking another chance on happily ever after, especially with a man who has dreams and goals so far away from Silver Falls and her.

Ratings and reviews

Overall I was charmed and smitten with this story, especially the ending, which had me seriously swooning!! All the talk of pumpkin flavored coffee drinks made me seriously crave a Pumpkin Spice Latte the entire time I was reading. I have fallen in love with this cast of characters, and this series! It was the perfect read to kick off the fall season!

This is a super sweet small town romance that is the perfect escape from life in general The main characters coffee shop owner Raine Hanover and unemployed professor Keaton Andrews don't seem to have much in common but he is intrigued by her It's just a pity that she doesn't feel the same Now they are working together to organise the local Boo Festival and it may just give Keaton the chance he wants Can he impress her can he win her heart and could they have a future together You will have to

The Professor and the Barista!! This is a great opposites attract romance and I loved it!! Raine and Keaton are a great match but they can’t seem to see it. Add in a Halloween festival and you have the makings of a sweet, fun and sometimes stressful good time. I think my favorite part was Raine talking a stuffy Keaton into all the different pumpkin spice coffees he wound up loving. Absolutely fun times!
