Ryn Abbott has been living the life of her dreams: a great job in a city she loves, far from the cornfields of her youth. The only thing lacking is a partner. She hasn’t found a man who suits her as well as Boston’s busy streets.


Until she meets Sam. Considerate, charming, and a little audacious, Sam could be everything Ryn’s been missing. But perfection rarely comes without a price, and Ryn must decide which of her priorities gets the right of way.

**Please note: Needs is a 15k word short story which originally appeared in the Winter Rain anthology. This ebook also contains the first chapter of Personal Geography**

Fresh. Bold. And a hint of spice.

This story was a recipe for love from the start. Who knew you could fall in love with a farmer in the middle of the city? I absolutely enjoyed reading about Ryn and Sam’s saucy romance. Sam is drool worthy and made me ache in places I️ didn’t know existed! It’s always a pleasure finding new characters from Tamsen Parker’s mind for me to fall in love with.

I had a difficult time with this, not because it is a poor book, it isn’t. Because I have lived this from the other side. I’m the Mom of the kids that “ran away to the big city” . They don’t understand that I do understand their needs and life, I just want to be a small part of it. So this book is good for many reasons.

A lovely short novella. Ryn a small town girl can't run far and fast enough from her hometown and the bullying she endured growing up. She wanted more than what her life back home offered. She met the man of her dreams in the big city only to come full circle of her fears and realizes not everyone and everything she remembers is all bad.

Great little novella. I'm a sucker for "love has the power to heal" stories. I would love to see this expanded to a full length book one day.
