The Pumpkin Patch Pact

A Sweet Small Town Romance

Moriah Pearson swore she’d never return to small town Candlewick Creek. But when her grandmother falls ill and the town’s beloved Halloween Festival is on the brink of collapse, the big-city event planner has no choice but to come home… and face the one man she’s never been able to get along with.

Orion Gable has roots as deep as the pumpkins in his patch. He’s grumpy, grounded, and determined to protect the festival’s traditions - even if it means clashing with Moriah’s color-coded plans at every turn.

But as crisp autumn nights bring them closer together, Moriah starts to wonder if the home she left behind might be exactly where her heart belongs.

A stubborn hometown hero.
A city girl rediscovering her roots.
One fall festival that could change everything.

Promising beginning, but underwhelming end.

I was invested with the first several chapters, but towards the end it got really repetitive, both conceptually and with wording. Also, the Orion character does not seem very manly…he’s really quite a Beta male letting Moriah take the lead of everything pertaining to the relationship.

Wasn’t bad

Book itself wasn’t that bad. Heartfelt. Could have used less curveballs and insecurities. But overall it was cute. The virtual narration was actually pretty decent.
