August

by Kathi S. Barton

When August Erickson revisits the sprawling estate he designed, he expects to face critiques of his work, not a fiery connection with the no-nonsense landscaper, Jacklynn “Jack” Blackman. With her strong will and a spark that rivals his own, Jack is a challenge August can’t resist. As their worlds collide at a black-tie event, the chemistry between them is undeniable—igniting a whirlwind romance filled with fiery passion, family rivalries, and the chance for a love that defies the odds.

August is all in—captivated by Jack’s confidence and beauty. But Jack’s strained relationship with her family and the weight of past decisions threaten to complicate their whirlwind romance. Together, they’ll have to navigate unexpected challenges and rising tensions to claim the love they both deserve.

Love, ambition, and the pursuit of a new beginning come alive in August, a story of passion and resilience where the stakes are as high as the rewards.

Reviews

[Rhonda Hicks · Rating 5 out of 5]

"August" is the third book in Kathi S. Barton's "Erickson Brothers" series. In Ms. Barton's books, there is always at least one confrontation between good and evil. Each story features a fated relationship filled with intense chemistry, along with themes of love and loyalty within the family. In this narrative, you'll encounter one of the most selfless, caring, and loving couples ever brought together. Despite facing danger and tragedy, August and Jacklynn (or Jack, as she is affectionately called) bring immense love and joy to each other and many children, which is truly heartwarming. This was a wonderful read.
