Beckett Porter certainly hasn\u2019t. One incredible weekend in Maine, and he\u2019s officially a man distracted. He\u2019s not unfamiliar with hot and heavy flings, but Evie wove some sort of magic over him during their tumble in the sheets. He can\u2019t stop thinking about her laugh. Her hand pressed flat against his chest. Her smiling mouth at his neck.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">So when she suddenly appears on his farm as part of a social media contest, he is\u2026confused. He had no idea that the sweet and sexy woman he met at a bar is actually a global phenomenon. When Evie disappears again, Beckett resolves to finally move on.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">But Evie, who has been feeling disconnected from her work and increasingly dissatisfied with life online, is trying to find her way back to something real. She returns to the last place she was happy: Lovelight Farms and the tiny town of Inglewild. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the hot farmer she spent two incredible nights with.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_73x4967 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_mr3b967  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16466 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3-hearts-1.jpg?resize=135%2C44&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jul 4, 2023<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Lovelight<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>2<br \/><strong>Heat Level: <\/strong>Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Evelyn<\/strong> and <strong>Beckett<\/strong> had a short but memorable fling when she spent time at Lovelight Farms. She is a social media darling and had to return home, but Beckett never forgot her. Now she is back, and he&#8217;s not sure how to process everything. What does she want? Is it worth starting something else with her?<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">We met our heroine in the first book of the series. She&#8217;s this young, vibrant social media influencer. Now she&#8217;s burnt out and unsure of herself, so she decides to return to Lovelight farm to rediscover herself. I liked how the two didn\u2019t act like they didn\u2019t have something going on.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I must admit that while I did enjoy the book, the author had a lot of missed potential. She could have expounded more on the previous connection with Evie and Beckett. Yes, it was a brief sexual encounter, but I think it would have helped to explain the constant pull they had toward each other once Evie returned to the town.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">The second thing that I noticed was the inner dialogue contributed to most of the first half of the book. The dual POVs helped ease the burden of this, but I honestly hate when there&#8217;s too much inner dialogue about everything. The characters mused to themselves their feelings, and every single thought about the other person but refused to speak.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">After a certain age, I expect the characters to be able to express their thoughts with one another especially given that these two spent a lot of time together. This led to a whole misunderstanding that could have been explained in a conversation. This is a ploy that many authors use that fall short.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Just like the first book, I really enjoyed the people in the town. The humor is light, and the people are so nosey and cute. Beckett is gruff enough without being a jerk and can show his soft side.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Overall, I think this was a cute story. I\u2019m invested enough to want to continue reading the series.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_noen967 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OqIHYg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3OpFUP3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/in-the-weeds-bk-borison\/1141356296?ean=9780593641149\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/in-the-weeds-14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/B_K_Borison_In_the_Weeds?id=yditEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evelyn St. James isn\u2019t the kind of woman you forget.

Beckett Porter certainly hasn\u2019t. One incredible weekend in Maine, and he\u2019s officially a man distracted. He\u2019s not unfamiliar with hot and heavy flings, but Evie wove some sort of magic over him during their tumble in the sheets. He can\u2019t stop thinking about her laugh. Her hand pressed flat against his chest. Her smiling mouth at his neck.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>So when she suddenly appears on his farm as part of a social media contest, he is\u2026confused. He had no idea that the sweet and sexy woman he met at a bar is actually a global phenomenon. When Evie disappears again, Beckett resolves to finally move on.<br \/><br \/>But Evie, who has been feeling disconnected from her work and increasingly dissatisfied with life online, is trying to find her way back to something real. She returns to the last place she was happy: Lovelight Farms and the tiny town of Inglewild. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the hot farmer she spent two incredible nights with.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3-hearts-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jul 4, 2023<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Lovelight<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>2<br \/><strong>Heat Level: <\/strong>Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Evelyn<\/strong> and <strong>Beckett<\/strong> had a short but memorable fling when she spent time at Lovelight Farms. She is a social media darling and had to return home, but Beckett never forgot her. Now she is back, and he's not sure how to process everything. What does she want? Is it worth starting something else with her?<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">We met our heroine in the first book of the series. She's this young, vibrant social media influencer. Now she's burnt out and unsure of herself, so she decides to return to Lovelight farm to rediscover herself. I liked how the two didn\u2019t act like they didn\u2019t have something going on.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I must admit that while I did enjoy the book, the author had a lot of missed potential. She could have expounded more on the previous connection with Evie and Beckett. Yes, it was a brief sexual encounter, but I think it would have helped to explain the constant pull they had toward each other once Evie returned to the town.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">The second thing that I noticed was the inner dialogue contributed to most of the first half of the book. The dual POVs helped ease the burden of this, but I honestly hate when there's too much inner dialogue about everything. The characters mused to themselves their feelings, and every single thought about the other person but refused to speak.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">After a certain age, I expect the characters to be able to express their thoughts with one another especially given that these two spent a lot of time together. This led to a whole misunderstanding that could have been explained in a conversation. This is a ploy that many authors use that fall short.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Just like the first book, I really enjoyed the people in the town. The humor is light, and the people are so nosey and cute. Beckett is gruff enough without being a jerk and can show his soft side.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Overall, I think this was a cute story. I\u2019m invested enough to want to continue reading the series.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OqIHYg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3OpFUP3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/in-the-weeds-bk-borison\/1141356296?ean=9780593641149\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/in-the-weeds-14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/B_K_Borison_In_the_Weeds?id=yditEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30417"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30417\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30433,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30417\/revisions\/30433"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
