Release Date: January 28, 2020
How far will a girl go to win back a guy she can’t stand? This funny, sweet, and romantic story proves that opposites do attract—and that God has a sense of humor.
Samuel Payton is a passionate youth pastor in Virginia, but below the surface, he’s still recovering from the blow of a failed business and insecurities he can’t shake. His coworker, start-up expert Kimberly Foster, is brilliant, fearless, and capable, but years of personal rejection have left her defensive and longing for a family. Two people have never been more at odds—or more attracted to one another. And every day at work, the sparks sure do fly.
When Kimberly’s ambitious plans for Sam’s ministry butt up against his risk-averse nature, Sam decides that obligations to family trump his work for the church. He quits the ministry and heads home to Australia to help his sister, Jules, save her struggling farm. As Kimberly’s grand plans flounder, she is forced to face the truth: that no one can replace Sam. Together they strike up a deal: If Kimberly comes to work on Jules’s dairy farm and lends her business brains to their endeavor, then maybe—just maybe—Sam will reconsider his future with the church.
As Kimberly tries her hand at Australian farm life, she learns more about herself than she could’ve ever expected. Meanwhile Sam is forced to re-evaluate this spunky woman he thought he already knew. As foes slowly morph into friends, they wonder if they might be something even more. But when disaster strikes the farm, will Sam find it within himself to take a risk that could lead to love? And will Kimberly trust God with her future?
My Review:
This book is such a fun and sweet read! Jessica Kate has a true talent for creating characters that so easy to connect with and relate to, as well as a story line that is completely engrossing. Sam is trying to do his job, but he is the complete opposite of his coworker, Kimberly. Their personalities could not be more different from one another. This gives him the little push needed to decide to go home to Australia to help his sister. Sam is not prepared for Kimberly to follow as she needs him on their ministry project and she is willing to help out his family in return.
I absolutely loved this story and the setting! It made me feel like I had jumped on a plane and followed Sam and Kimberly to help save the farm and fulfill the duties with the ministry. I am eager to see what this author writes next!
