Trick or Tease

Rate this book
I left my hometown to chase money and power.

Not pumpkins and hayrides.

Now I’m back out of obligation, and face to face with her.

The girl who’s haunted my dreams for years.

And she just so happens to be my brother’s best friend.

She’s as beautiful and bossy as ever.

She used to drive me crazy. Now?

She still does—just in a completely different way that makes me sweat.

She’s got big dreams for the family farm, and somehow, I’ve been roped into helping.

I thought I’d keep my distance.

Thought I was too busy, too focused, too smart to fall for a girl who thinks bonfires and apple pie count as a lifestyle.

I was wrong.

She’s the only thing that’s ever made me question everything I’ve built.

And when I’m forced to choose between the life I’ve made and the woman I want…

I just hope it’s not too late to fix what I broke.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

Hey there. I'm Weston.

Have we met? No? Well it's time to end that tragedy.

I'm a former firefighter/EMS guy who's picked up the proverbial pen and started writing bad boy romance stories. I co-write with my sister, Ali Parker, but live in Texas with my wife, my two little boys, my daughter, two dogs, three cats, and a turtle.

Yep. A turtle. You read that right. Don't be jealous.

You're going to find Billionaires, Bad Boys, Military Guys and loads of sexiness.

Something for everyone, hopefully. I'd love to connect with you. Check out the links below and come find me.

Talk about a double standard.
It’s okay for the farm folk to think Garrett is making wrong choices by living a successful life as a lawyer in the “city”, but it’s not okay for people to think that farm life may be too boring or simplistic. That’s at least what I got.
I have to wonder what Garrett will think of his choice to abandon everything he studied and worked for. Will he be happy with the smell of horse shit and hay over leather interiors and museums?
What I also don’t understand is why it has to be one or the other. I mean, maybe his idea of small town lawyer is the best of both worlds, but it seems that Sabrina wants nothing else out of life aside from milking cows and having sex with Garrett, like she abhors the idea of visiting the city and experiencing anything outside of country living. Honestly, she comes across as the prejudiced one, to the point that I couldn’t decide which was supposed to be the “grumpy” and which the “sunshine” in this story.
I also couldn’t read the extended epilogue because I did not want to read about their lives being so complete with a farm, a marriage, and babies.
People like different things, but this story really crapped all over the idea of working hard in the corporate world and enjoying the culture a city can offer.
…and this is coming from someone that hates greed and lives in a place with lots of trees while also participating in animal rescue…
I just also happen to like the things a city can offer… every now and then… and realize that not everyone finds fulfillment in quaint towns and festivals.
2.5 stars, but I really liked nothing about Sabrina, except maybe her love of Hallowe’en.
Oh, and the book felt WAY too long for what it was and often repetitive.

Fall vibes

This was a perfect fall read. It had all the fall vibes. I loved Sabrina. She was comfortable in her own skin and knew what she wanted in life. She wouldn't change for anyone. Garrett had some big life decisions to figure out but balanced out Sabrina well. It was a cute fall story.

I voluntarily reviewed "TRICK OR TEASE" This was such a great story well written with humor, a little drama, steam, it'll hook you to the end.
Sabrina & Lucy are at Hogan Hill Farm planning the haunting event they do every year entering the corn maze trying to set up the scarecrow, their to funny he keeps losing straw among other things.
Sabrina burst out laughing when Lucy halls him up & his bottom falls off he's having a wardrobe malfunction, great now I'm itchier than a dog with fleas from all the straw says Sabrina & Lucy doubles over tears running down her face.
Lucy jerks on more pants & stuffs straw in legs & says we can call him Hollow Hank he couldn't scare a crow or the guests with his looks.
Sabrina says to Lucy isn't Halloween suppose to be scarey no Lucy rolls her eyes, its suppose to be fun.
Billy's walking towards them sweating he'd been working hard on the farm, they were just as bad I come with lemonade he says thank god says Lucy.
Billy says this is a family event to Sabrina so he's scarey as shit he says we want spooky fun not nightmares we'll need wavers.
Billy tells Sabrina the scarecrow goes,
Lucy & Billy were lovebirds don't make me turn the hose on you two Sabrina says they'd been together forever she was a little jealous but loved them, they were Sabrina's two BF'S.
Garrett was Billy's older brother Garrett was the third BF to Sabrina he left Greenleaf to become a big shot attorney in the city, are your folks ready for retirement Sabrina asks,yeah their ready to turn the farm over to me.
Garrett says he's not coming to my parents retirement party Sabrina frowns why says he's to busy some big real estate deal Billy was disappointed in Garrett.
Billy says I have a plan to bring Garrett back he tells them, he's forgotten what this place means its time to remind him.
Garrett left his hometown of Greenleaf 12yrs ago his phone buzz's its Billy whatever farm crisis he was dealing with could wait, deal done everyone left but Robert Westbrook CEO of the Westbrook Group.
Garrett was pleased with Robert praise, the fact he was1 very single with zero prospects for a wife was all worth it to him.
Billy was driving Lucy & Sabrina to big city to see Garrett broke & happy people says Billy these are all greedy misersble people here don't tell Garrett that.
Garrett's surprised to see Billy then Lucy & Sabrina appear he checks her out thorougly liking what he sees, they stay with him that night & its Sabrina who convinces Garrett to come home.
Will Garrett & Sabrina act on the feelings they secretly have for one another & get a HEA its a read you don't want to miss you so won't be disappointed.

Best friends Sabrina, Billy, and Lucy are getting Hogan Hill Farm in rural Greenleaf, New York ready for a fun and slightly spooky autumn festival. Billy’s older brother Garrett is a Manharran real estate lawyer who spent the last six years clawing his way up the ladder and has just closed on a quarter of a billion dollar deal, which he hopes will earn him a chance to become partner. Little does he know that his brother and friends are on their way to kidnap him back to the family farm.

Actually, Garrett had landed the sale two weeks ahead of schedule, so he has time to go home, and when he gazes at Sabrina with unwholesome thoughts, he decides to take a little time off, at the ranch, ostensibly to celebrate his parents’ retirement, but in reality, he has ulterior motives for his hot friend. Unfortunately, however, the Garrett who shows up is transactional in nature and not appreciative of anything other than making money. Who else would think about how the farmer’s market could syndicate?

Then, after a beautifully passionate intimacy, there is a flicker of hope that Sabrina and Garrett might find common ground, that is until his boss at the firm offers him something that he had worked tirelessly for. But is it really the best choice for him, for his family, and for his budding relationship? And somewhere along the way he is reminded of the word “community,” that special feeling of connectedness, of belonging. But after a series of mishaps, Garrett might have to make a grand gesture to demonstrate his commitment to everyone he truly loves.

Weston Parker once again enthralled me with a small town romance that made me laugh, cry, get angry, and fall in love with the characters who inhabit Greenleaf. I especially appreciate all the minute details that create a vivid picture of ranch life and how everyone binds together to not only help each other but to embrace their heritage with pride. Trick or Tease is the perfect precursor to fall, so grab a copy and enjoy!

I received this book as an ARC reviewer and voluntarily offer my honest opinion.

Garrett Hogan left his small town to move to Manhattan to become a big-time lawyer. He is trying to make partner and has been working long hours. When he finally lands the case that is supposed to make him partner, he is sadly disappointed. When his brother Billy along with his girlfriend Lucy and best friend Sabrina show up unannounced to try to get him to come back to his hometown for his parent’s retirement party he decides to go. Garret, Billy, Lucy and Sabrina were all the best of friends growing up but that all changes when Garrett left. Billy has big plans for the Hogan farm. Every year they make it a place for families to go and enjoy with corn mazes, games and all sorts of things. Garrett has no plans on staying because he has left this life behind but little by little the more time, he spends the more he finds himself getting involved with all the changes.
Sabrina has crushed /loved Garrett since they were kids but Garrett never really knew it. When they begin to spend time together those old feelings start to resurface. They find themselves making big plans for the haunted house along with future plans for the farm. Finally, they give into their feelings and the chemistry explodes. What will happen when Garrett’s boss finds out he is sitting on a gold mine and that the farm is worth millions? Garrett knows the money would really take care of his parents and his brother Billy and him and Lucy could get married and not have to worry about money. But he sees how much the farm means to all of them but when they find out what Garrett has done will it destroy everything, he has built in the short time he’s been home?
Great read for the fall. The way Weston describes the farm, fun and activities makes you want to go to Hogan Haunted Farms. The friendship they all share is touching and story telling was spot on. I really enjoyed this book. I received an arc copy and this is my honest review.

Garrett and Sabrina's story was a really good read!
This had spice, a bit of drama and great character dynamic.

**SPOILER ALERT**

Garrett left his family farm to pursue his dream of becoming a successful workaholic corporate lawyer in New York. He was well on his way to making partner at the firm he worked for. Those 80 hour work weeks and fierce competition would pay off one day and he'd make partner soon enough.
Sabrina never wants to leave the farming town she grew up in. She works with her life-long best friends, Garrett's brother Billy and Billy's girlfriend Lucy on Garrett's family farm. She's ambitious and creative. She enjoys a simple life in her small town where family is everything. But she's built her life and future around Garrett and Billy's family farm.

Garett is pulled back to his hometown for his parents retirement party and sees all the growth Billy and Sabrina have put into the family farm. He’s impressed by this and his business brain goes to work. Things start to spiral in all directions for him. Garrett is beginning to see the parallels between what he's built in the city to what he had and could have on the family farm. His a-hole boss is taking matters in his own hands. Garrett doesn't know where he belongs anymore. He and Sabrina have started something and just when it gets good, Garrett pulls away. The stolen moments quickly turn to avoidance.

I loved these characters and how they've known each other forever. I've read other reviews where they just hated Garrett but I didn't. I saw him for what he was--a lost man trying to navigate his way to find where he belonged. Sabrina was a great support to him. Billy and Lucy worked well together and within the context of the plot. It moved quickly through the plot and twists but the lesson was there as well. He could have groveled a bit more but given the life-long relationships it works. A good read about finding ones true self.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the story of Sabrina and Garret. Sabrina and Garret are from a small farming town, but Garret left and moved to New York City to become a lawyer and never looked back. Sabrina, along with Garret's brother Billy ad his girlfriend Lucy, have started an attraction on Billy's family's farm celebrating Halloween in hopes of expanding business. When Billy's parents retire, the three friends travel to New York to convince Garret to return for the party for their parents. Garret just landed a hge deal that he thought would lead to him making partner, but his boss was not very appreciative and told him he needed to bring in his own high profile clients. Garret decided to go to the party and was very surprised at the attractions Billy, Lucy and Sabrina built. There is time to add to the attractions before Halloween, so Garret agrees to help them. Garret also is very attracted to Sabrina, but he knows he is returning to the city and knows she isn't the type of woman to have a fling. Sabrina has always had feelings for Garret, but she doesn't think he would ever be interested in a small town girl like her. I really liked this book. I liked that it didn't go very smoothly for Garret. I liked Sabrina, she knew what she wanted and worked hard to get it. Billy and Lucy were perfect together too and showed success id not the same for everyone and some people didn't need millions to be happy. Another great one.

First let me say that this is a GREAT read and you will absolutely love Sabrina and also Garrett when you don't want to strangle him. Sabrina grew up on a farm as did her best friends Garrett and his brother Billy. Sabrina and Garrett had a crush on each other as far back as they can remember but they never let the other know. After high school graduation, Garrett went to college and law school and became a corporate lawyer in NYC. His dreams were to become partner at all costs even if it meant ignoring his parents and friends back home. Garrett and Billy's parents are getting ready to celebrate their retirement and it would mean everything to them if Garrett would be there so Billy, girlfriend Lucy and Sabrina decide to go to the city and convince Garrett to come back for the party.
Sabrina and Garrett both have feelings for each other but neither will admit it. The sparks are there but Garrett is struggling with his thirst for success in the city and his feelings for Sabrina who loves the simpler life at the farm, the small town life and the people who live there. You will laugh, cry, feel the passion, love and root for these two to find and acknowledge the love that everyone knows is there. You will love this book and it is absolutely a MUST read!!!!!

Fabulous Halloween season HEA full of opportunities and second chances. Garrett is a corporate lawyer in the city, full of dreams of becoming partner at his law firm. He signs a huge deal, and is disappointed that he doesn't get the praise he had hoped. Thanks to an ambush by his brother, Billy, his girlfriend Lucy, and their next door neighbor, Sabrina, Garrett decides to go home to lick his wounds a bit, and be present for their parents' retirement party. Garrett and Sabrina had a crush back when they were young, but Garrett has turned into a different person now, and is only home temporarily. Eventually, while turning the family pumpkin farm into a family attraction, Garrett and Sabrina rekindle their old flame.
This is a wonderful story, not just of second chances, but also a renewed love for the simpler life. The story winds around the build out of the attraction is a wonderful addition, and it's great to see the satisfaction these four receive while building something for their community. This book has the potential to spur additional stories about others in the community.

Billy was a man on a mission. He needed to bring his brother home to their family farm for their parents’ retirement party. Enlisting the help of his girlfriend, Lucy, and friend, Sabrina, they’d lasso the prodigal son if necessary.

Garrett had left behind the country life, hoping to make partner in a big city law firm. He allowed himself to be dragged back home. When he got there, the small town charm worked its magic on him, as did Sabrina. Together, they helped to create a Halloween festival unlike their town had ever seen.

But big city law is hard to leave behind. And Garrett’s inability to shut down his boss led to an inevitable blow up on Halloween, the last day of their festival. Things came to a head in dramatic fashion, requiring the grandest of gestures.

I really enjoyed this story and hope that we see more of these characters in the future. I need more of their growing festival empire.

You'll love Sabrina and Garrett's story. They were friends when they were younger and she secretly had a crush on him. But he had moved away to New York and was living the good life as a corporate lawyer. This was a great romance that will grab your attention right at the beginning. He is guilted into coming home to help his brother plan a Fall Festival
No shortage of drama or angst as he develops feelings for Sabrina and begins to question his life choices. An arrogant boss, a family disagreement and a crushed Sabrina all add to the tension. Some hilarious moments and a small town where life and people are real. Life choices about things that are real and mean something. A good story with well developed characters and an engaging story line. I read a free arc via the author and voluntarily chose to write a review.

Garrett and Sabrina have been friends forever, but hadn't seen each other for years since Garrett created a life for himself as a corporate lawyer in NYC. Sabrina was perfectly content remaining in their small hometown on her family farm, helping Garrett's younger brother, Billy Hogan, and his girlfriend, Lucy, who was also Sabrina's best friend, create a fall festival at Hogan Farm to supplement their income. Once Billy, Lucy, and Sabrina traveled to NYC and convinced Garrett to come home for their parents' retirement party, things heated up between Sabrina and Garrett. It was a very entertaining story, especially how the fall festival kept expanding as more and more great ideas kept snowballing into bigger and better activities for the festival. The whole community got involved in the family-oriented fun-for-all. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

Garrett had dreams that extended beyond his small town, so he relocated to NY and is building his career as a lawyer. When his career path hits a roadblock he is convinced by his brother to come home for a visit to celebrate their parents’ retirement. While there he agrees to help with the fair which means working closing with Sabrina, a friend from his childhood who is starting to feel like so much more.

Sabrina loves her hometown and couldn’t imagine another life. As she and Garrett work together to make the fair even more appealing the feelings between them escalate as well but can they find a compromise when it comes to their very different plans for the future.

This is a heartwarming story about family, love and deciding what is truly important. Garrett thought he had his future all planned out until he realizes what and who will truly make him happy.

Garrett, the farm boy turned city guy is persuaded to return to the farm to celebrate his parents retirement as they leave the farm in the hands of Billy, his younger brother. Garrett, not the easiest of personalities, makes it difficult to warm to him with his patronising manner, he seems to be a man stuck halfway between longing for a life in NY and a life at home.
Oh Sabrina, you just couldn’t resist him and knowingly left yourself wide open for heartbreak.
They may have grown up together but they were miles apart in their lifestyles now.
It was bound to be a disaster and I had to admire Sabrina for making a stand.
An enjoyable read with some fun parts to the story.

What a wonderful story for the season! Well, and honestly, any season at all!

Folks, let me tell you, I have been reading Mr. Parker's stories since the beginning of his career!
I haven't stopped.
He just keeps getting better and better!
Yes, I know, stereotyping, but his stories are so romantic, I never would have guessed his gender had he gone with W. Parker!!!
This is a compliment!
A big complement!

Garrett and Sabrina bring the angst, the steam, and yes fun!

Clear your schedule!
If you're like me; you won't want to put this down!
And, you may want to change the pace of your life too!

Trick or Tease is a warm, small-town romance that perfectly blends autumn charm with heartfelt emotion. When ambitious Manhattan lawyer Garrett returns to Hogan Hill Farm, his reunion with Sabrina quickly stirs up more than old memories. Their chemistry is undeniable, but so is Garrett’s struggle between chasing career success and embracing family, community, and love.

Weston Parker delivers witty banter, tender intimacy, and vivid small-town details that make Greenleaf feel alive. With its cozy fall setting and heartfelt romance, Trick or Tease is a perfect seasonal read—sweet, funny, and full of heart.

I received an ARC of this book and am sharing my honest opinion.

Loved 90 percent of the story

Its frustrating how the MMC can lie and betray everyone to be forgiven with no actual groveling. MMC the entire book didn't want small town life. It would have been nice if there was more of a gradual change in his thoughts. It felt like because he was fired he had no choice. I wish his boss wouldn't have fired him. It would have been much better had he quit. It wasnt believable when the FMC just said okay you're forgiven. Making someone a partner doesn't erase all the lies. It would have been nice if he actually had to prove himself. Someone wouldn't just let it go in a blink of eye. Trust should be rebuilt. This story missed that.

Weston has done it again! Rating 4.5 stars. A fall themed small town story about what really matters. Garrett left his small town many years ago to follow his dreams, or so he thought. Coming home to celebrate his parent’s retirement, he finds that his big city life and job are not everything. Characters are believable and the story was developed well, moving at a good pace. Strong female main character and strong supporting characters too. The description of everything is very realistic, perhaps to the point of imagining one’s self actually there.

This is a lovely seasonal story, but can be enjoyed at any time in the year. Sabrina, Lucy and the Hogan brothers Billy and Garrett all grew up in Greenleaf. Fast forward a few years and Garett is a hot shot lawyer in the city who hasn’t visited the family farm in years, Billy and Lucy are dating, Mr and Mrs Hogan are retiring from the family farm and Billy and Sabrina are trying to create an elevated Halloween experience at the farm better then previous years.
Billy wants Garrett to come home for a retirement party for his parents and the gang decide to visit Garett in the city to persuade him and things progress from there! An enjoyable story which I received as an ARC.

This has to be one of my favorite books written by the author. I absolutely loved the chemistry between the two main characters.

A wonderful romance with captivating characters. Garrett, who left for the big city to become a lawyer, is asked to come home to his parents' farm for their retirement party by his brother, Billy, his brother's girlfriend, Lucy, and Garret's childhood crush, Sabrina. There's drama, conflict and humour in this that made it so enjoyable.
