Book Summary:

Evelyn St. James isn’t the kind of woman you forget.

Beckett Porter certainly hasn’t. One incredible weekend in Maine, and he’s officially a man distracted. He’s not unfamiliar with hot and heavy flings. He knows how it goes. But Evie wove some sort of magic over him during their tumble in the sheets. He can’t stop thinking about her laugh. Her hand pressed flat against his chest. Her smiling mouth at his neck.

Also, her eyes. And her legs. 

So when she suddenly appears on his farm as part of a social media contest, he is … confused. He had no idea that the sweet and sexy woman he met at a bar is actually a global phenomenon: social media influencer Evelyn St. James. When she disappears again, Beckett resolves to finally forget her and move on. 

But Evelyn St. James has a problem. 

Feeling disconnected from her work and increasingly unhappy, she’s trying to find her way back to something real. She returns to the last place she was happy, Lovelight Farms and the tiny town of Inglewild. 

It has absolutely nothing to do with the hot farmer she spent two incredible nights with. 

Nothing at all. 

In The Weeds is a sweet and steamy second-chance romance about finding your happiness. It features a grumpy farmer, a no-nonsense social media influencer, a small town of busybodies, and four very cute kittens. In The Weeds is a standalone romance and is part of the Lovelight series.

(Summary from Goodreads)

“Doing less doesn’t make you less.”

Review/Thoughts:

After loving book 1 in this series, I was so excited to dive into book 2. This book started out really strong. I was already intrigued by Beckett and Evelyn’s story after meeting them in book one. Unfortunately, this book ended up falling flat pretty quickly.

The characters lack depth and chemistry, and I found it really hard to connect to them individually or to even root for them as a couple. I needed up being really frustrated with Evelyn and the decisions she makes throughout the book. I struggled with the miscommunication, lack of plot, and found myself getting bored and skimming pages. I was really just disappointed with this book.

“Seasons change and so do we.”
