Dandelion Meadows

by Jennifer Beckstrand

Can he get rid of his unwelcome housemate before he falls in love with her?

The last thing Emma Dustin wants is to come crawling back to Dandelion Meadows with her tail between her legs, but a misunderstanding at her financial planning firm has left her without a job and without another option. Uncle Harvey, may he rest in peace, left Emma his house, and there is nowhere else for her to go. Despite her humiliation at coming home unemployed, Emma is determined to fulfill Uncle Harvey’s last wish, even though she isn’t quite sure what it is. Is it possible for Emma to make a life in Dandelion Meadows? And will the mayor put her in charge of Sandpaper Awareness Week?One-time cowboy and full-time geologist Matt Matthews is not the bad guy, even if Emma Dustin thinks he is. He’s only trying to restore his father’s money, the money that Emma’s uncle Harvey cheated his father out of. Harvey must have had some remorse because he left Matt the house in his will, but Emma Dustin has the nerve to show up and claim the house is hers. Well, possession is nine-tenths of the law, and Matt isn’t about to move out. Unfortunately, neither is Emma. Emma is cute and irresistibly feisty, but she’s in Matt’s way, and he’ll do whatever it takes to get her out of his house and away from Dandelion Meadows. Can he get rid of his unwelcome housemate before he falls in love with her?

[Katie (hiding in the pages) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Small town romances are always a lot of fun, especially when they involve a slew of quirky characters and amusing situations. An added enemies-to-love trope made this story full of entertaining friction.

A bonus lesson found within these pages is the reminder that things aren't always as they seem.

Dandelion Meadows was such fun book to read!
Matt and Emma have know each other since High school. Their paths cross together again with unexpected circumstances. The book has humor, surprises, secrets, wonderful characters and forgiveness. It was a page turner from the beginning to the end. Very very good!!!!!

Great 👍 start to a new series. Matt and Emma were cute together. I liked their banter and the push and pull of their relationship. Can’t wait for the next brothers story.
