The Pumpkin Patch Pact
Moriah Pearson swore she’d never return to small town Candlewick Creek. But when her grandmother falls ill and the town’s beloved Halloween Festival is on the brink of collapse, the big-city event planner has no choice but to come home… and face the one man she’s never been able to get along with.
Orion Gable has roots as deep as the pumpkins in his patch. He’s grumpy, grounded, and determined to protect the festival’s traditions - even if it means clashing with Moriah’s color-coded plans at every turn.
But as crisp autumn nights bring them closer together, Moriah starts to wonder if the home she left behind might be exactly where her heart belongs.
A stubborn hometown hero.
A city girl rediscovering her roots.
One fall festival that could change everything.

If you didn’t guess based on the summary, this story was pretty much a Hallmark movie in book form. And I loved it! Maybe it was a little cheesy at times, but how can you not love reading about people discovering the simple things that make them truly happy in life? The ending was a bit odd. Honestly, it fell a little flat for me but, overall, it was a cute story that was especially clean, and I really loved that.
