One magical Halloween night in Pumpkin Village—Vermont’s very own Halloween capital—Apple meets the ultimate Mr. Nice at her small-town karaoke bar. 💫 Their connection? Instant. Their night together? Unforgettable. But by morning… he’s gone. And he’s hiding a very big secret. 👀

Can love survive when the truth comes out?

This cozy-meets-spicy novella has it all:
🍂 Small-town charm
🎃 Halloween fall vibes
💋 Secret identity romance
🔥 Just the right amount of heat

The perfect pick for anyone craving autumn vibes, spicy romance, and a sprinkle of Halloween magic. 🍁 Bonus (or warning?): as book one in the series, it ends on a cliffhanger—so be ready for more!

Thank you to @booksprout and Kate Love for letting me review this book!

Federico and Apple. She wants to be a singer. While at Kareoke she meets him and they share a romantic night and in the morning he has to leave. He has a secret. Maybe to make her dreams come true. Was a really good story and sort of end with HEAFN. Great short sexy read.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Wow this romance book is AMAZING and HOT. Federico and Apple make a great couple. The chemistry they have together is what makes this storyline good. I had this romance book read in just a few hours and look forward to reading more of Kate’s books.

Sweet and spicy. Such a cute romance. I enjoyed this novella a lot. Federico and Apple were such a cute couple. I loved hire much depth this novels had. It didn’t feel like anything was lacking at all. The flow was great, I enjoyed the banter. Perfect little weekend read.

Stopped at 26%. Bland, boring, and plain uninteresting. Then I read a review that said it was part 1 with an abrupt ending. Novellas shouldn't have cliffhangers, imo.

A very short fall short story. I keep getting disappointed with these short stories. They end too quickly. I wanted more & a better ending. Oh well. First fall themed book of the season.

Um honestly not even sure what this is about. Guess she's a singer, he works for a music studio in Rome lol.
Honestly it was just background noise at this point lol.
