Ratings and reviews

This is book three in The Graciella series and it is Adam and Cassandra's story and omg it is so emotional. Adam loved working the land and being part of the Brockman Farm Business with his brothers Cruz and Turner, Adam was kind, funny, lovable, loved animal's and he was a really great man and he hoped that one day he would find love just like his brothers. Case is a widow and since her husband's death she is devastated and struggling with life so after loosing her job as a food editor and feeling numb she decides to go away for a while to try and heal and get her life back on track. When Adam and Cass meet it is not in a good way as Adam falls into the mature and it flies everywhere including all over Cass who is not happy about it. Cass has been through so much and my heart broke for her and I loved how Adam was when he was around her and the connection chemistry between them is so strong but will Cass be able to overcome everything that is happening in her life to be able to get a second chance at happiness with Adam and heal from everything that she has been through. Wow this was such an emotional story and I couldn't put it down as I wanted to see what would happen next between Adam and Cass. There are so many emotional situations that you feel like you are going through everything yourself and that is what makes this book a real page turner and it was so addictive. Sara Ohlin is an amazing author and writer and I definitely recommend you read this book and others by her and you will definitely not be disappointed as her stories have so much depth and they definitely keep a reader's attention.

A Steamy, Heartfelt Small-Town Romance “Flirting with Forever,” the third installment in Sara Ohlin’s Graciela series, is a sweet, steamy, and emotional tale of two very different people finding their way toward a beautiful HEA. Adam Brockman is handsome, sexy, and built like a mythical titan! He’s co-owner of Brockman Farms, a venture he runs with his two older brothers, and he loves the land more than anything else in the world. That is until Cupid slams him in the forehead with a two-by-four and drops beautiful, intelligent widow Cassandra into his lap…or, at least, into one of the cabins on the farm. Cass is recovering from the loss of her husband, as well as the job she adored as a food critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, and she’s not sure what to make of the gorgeous rancher. All. Those. Muscles. And that smile. And he has a puppy named Bullet. The hits just keep on coming. She’s on a bit of a journey of self-discovery, trying to reconnect with the passion she had for life and her career by vacationing in one of the Brockman Farms guest houses. Ohlin creates a wonderful small-town setting on the Oregon coast, and the characters – right down to little Bullet, who is definitely a source of comic relief – are so well-developed that you can’t help but want to hang out with them around the fire pit after Sunday dinner. From the sweetest of “aww” moments to the panty-melting sexy times, this story was so, so well-done. And despite the fact that this is the third book into a series, I never once felt like I was missing vital information from previous titles, so this is truly a standalone. However, I was so enamored with the book that I intend to get my hands on the first two as soon as possible. I just LOVE finding and enjoying the work of new-to-me authors!

I was pleasantly surprised to find so much emotion, learning about oneself, grief and love in one story. I prefer books that give you the viewpoint of both people, and Ms. Ohlin didn't disappoint!! Adam is a man's man, yet full of love and buried emotions and fears. Cassandra comes to Brockman Farms to find herself after a traumatic incident. (I'm trying for no spoilers!) I really enjoyed how the two of them learned about themselves and how they came together. Definitely a wonderful read that deserves to be in your TBR pile!
