In the Weeds by B.K. Borison – a Review

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play / Apple / BAM / Bookbub

Description:
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.

Review:

In the Weeds by B.K. Borison is the second book in her Lovelight series.  Beckett Porter, is in charge of the farm aspects in Lovelight, with Stella the owner, and Layla, who runs the bakery.  Beckett is an introvert, not a talker, but everyone at Lovelight, in town and his family all love him.  When he attends a conference, he meets Evie at the bar, with both of them immediately attracted to one another.  They end up having a wild unforgettable two-night stand during the weekend; and Beckett can’t stop thinking about her.  To his surprise, he discovers the woman who he met in Maine, was social media influencer Evelyn St. James, who was in town featuring Lovelight Farms, in her contest.  Though she is there for the contest that she is running, she spends time getting to know Beckett, and how he has a hard time dealing with crowds and people.  Though he can be grumpy, Evie sees how wonderful and caring he is, especially with homeless kittens and a duck. When she leaves, to continue her work, Beckett figures he needs to forget about her.

Evie’s job is beginning to pressure her, and her friend tells her she is feeling burnout, and suggests for Evie to go somewhere where she last felt happy.   She decides to go to Lovelight Farms, where she last felt happy.  She ends up staying in Beckett’s house, since he has a few rooms, and finds herself happy to be on the farm, as well as participate in learning the chores to help, not to mention loving the people who live in Inglewild.  Evie was the perfect person for Beckett, as she was always helping him through his noise issues, and social anxiety; she was the sunshine to his darkness.

What follows is a sweet lovers’ relationship between Beckett and Evie, who had such awesome chemistry between them.  The journey to find happiness was wonderful and endearing; and Evie was so caring and understanding helping Beckett.

Evie was a wonderful heroine, as she was sweet, independent, and caring.  Beckett was totally hooked into Evie from their first night stand, and he constantly worshiped her, always worried that she would eventually leave.  The secondary characters were all so great, which included Stella, Layla, Luka, Dane, etc.  I got a kick out of the cute kittens.

In the Weeds was another fun, cute, sweet romance, great couple, terrific secondary characters in this continuation of the Lovelight series.  I look forward to reading Layla story. I suggest you read this series, as it’s a fun story, and very well written by B.K. Borison.
