Cider Crawl Crush

by Sophie Masters

Katrina expected a fun day at The Bunny Hop, a beloved local fundraiser, but instead, she’s stuck on the worst date imaginable. When her so-called match ditches her—requesting to take the event tickets and another woman instead—she’s left humiliated and ready to call it quits.

Enter Topher Knight, the ruggedly handsome owner of The Cidery, who’s been watching the disaster unfold. With one charming smile and an offer she can’t refuse, he steps in as her new hop date. What starts as a kind gesture quickly turns into something much more when sparks fly between them faster than a cider pour on tap.

From dinners with an incredible view of the city’s skyline to orchard strolls to stolen kisses, Katrina and Topher dive headfirst into a whirlwind romance.

A swoon-worthy, insta-love novella featuring a second-chance at a first date and a love story that’s as crisp and irresistible as the perfect seasonal brew.

Super quick cute fall-vibes

I wish it had been longer. I chose it for fall vibes but it was set around Easter so that was a little weird to me. I wanted to know more about the main character’s walls that she had built. I wanted to know more about how the ex had trapped her. More about her past. I liked the writing overall. I just wish this story had been longer. Longer plot development, more details, less rushed. If this author writes longer books I would be interested in revisiting and reading.

This was an enjoyable, quick novella. It does have some editing issues though.

[Neems]

A cute, simple short read.

Love it

A disaster of a date turns into the perfect happily ever after. The two main characters are perfect for each other.
