HARVEST WISHES is a standalone read with a happy ending. It is set in Cedar Lake, British Columbia. It is a small town with a close community. Of course there is always the gossip but most of the people are kind and respectful of each other. Madison has just returned home after a failed marriage that took up 7 years of her life. Her husband was abusive and her dad and brother had to get her and her belongings out of the house under the watchful eye of the police. She is humiliated and ashamed of her situation. Living with her parents was a godsend but being 30 it is difficult to be treated like a teen. She has the weight of the world on her shoulders.
Dylan was Madison's high school boyfriend. They had planned a trip around Europe after graduation but Dylan left for college without a word to her. The relationship was over and she was crushed. He was it for her. Then she made a big mistake and married the wrong guy.
Dylan is an IT guy that works from home for now. After his dad passed in a car wreck, he moved home to help his mother. Now his bosses are demanding him come back to the office in Vancouver. It is 2 hrs. away from Cedar Lake. He would leave his mother, Madison, friends, etc. He is not sure if he can do it.
This is a good story and follow up of Pumpkin Promises. It is a good series of a small town community. I found it to be very entertaining and I definitely recommend it.

Second Chance, small town romance done right
When the second-chance romance trope is done right it's one of my favorite things. And Harvest Wishes is done right:There needs to be a genuine, believable obstacle which divided our characters in the past. Check.I need to care about them and be able to see how perfect they could be together if they just give that second chance a try. Check.Then I need to read some genuine remorse and a real effort to move beyond that obstacle as they reach for a future together. Check, check, and check!Madison and Dylan's story made my heart so happy. I felt for Madi as she stumbles through the harshness of a divorce, a terrible abusive ex, all the court drama, and moving back to her old hometown where of course every single person knows about her life. Small town romance? Yep. That means everyone and their grandma knows your business and it can be a huge pain. Madison is strong enough to handle all of it, take the steps she needs to for her own healing (including therapy! Yay for normalizing therapy in a romance book!) and then also open her heart again to the possibility of a relationship with her first love, Dylan. And Dylan is perfection, owning up to his past mistakes, supporting Madison without judging or questioning, and never being too pushy.I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. All opinions stated here are my own, and freely given.
