Fall in love with Vermont in this USA Today bestselling series.

The last person Griffin Shipley expects to find stuck in a ditch on his Vermont country road is his ex-hookup. Five years ago they'd shared a couple of steamy nights together. But that was a lifetime ago.

At twenty-seven, Griff is now the accidental patriarch of his family farm. Even his enormous shoulders feel the strain of supporting his mother, three siblings and a dotty grandfather. He doesn't have time for the sorority girl who's shown up expecting to buy his harvest at half price.

Vermont was never in Audrey Kidder's travel plans. Neither was Griff Shipley. But she needs a second chance with the restaurant conglomerate employing her. Okay—a fifth chance. And no self-righteous lumbersexual farmer will stand in her way.

They're adversaries. They want entirely different things from life. Too bad their sexual chemistry is as hot as Audrey's top secret enchilada sauce, and then some.

Warning: This stand-alone novel contains growly alpha farmers, gourmet yumminess, a steamy outdoor shower and proof that farmers don't mind getting dirty.

Downloaded from the plus catalogue, but really pleased I found it. Well constructed story bringing us into the Shipley family and setting up for the next few books in the series. Griffin is intelligent and interesting and quite the hunk. On to book 2 as I enjoyed book 1.

Really enjoyed!

I read Bittersweet ages ago, so seeing Bittersweet on the Plus catalogue led to downloading and listening to it as I loved the book. The performance was good and I enjoyed revisiting these characters with the narrators.
I excellent contemporary romance with great characters and minimal drama. Heated and sweet.

Beautiful story, good narrators

My second book by Sarina Bowen, I am loving this author writing

Completely engrossed from start to finish and although I listened to this on audio which was brilliant by the way, the flow was great. The right amount of angst, drama, hotness and Grumpy farmer Griff I loved him.



Griff Shipley had a promising football career in college he was one of those guys and he and Audrey had a one night stand just before the end of their time there but instead of Griff moving on his father died and he returned to his farm to work for the family.

This story is bittersweet for both characters and they are a perfect match.

Audrey, according to Griff was a girl who seemed to have everything, Griff called her a princess but looks can be deceiving. Audrey had an interfering overbearing mother who treated Audrey like she was never good enough she had high expectations of Audrey and was trying to make Audrey into a product of herself so Audrey broke away, went her own way and went to culinary school.

Audrey landed her first job at a company called BPG and instead of spending time in the kitchen like she hoped they sent her to look for products they could use in their restaurants.

Audrey and Griff meeting up again was a little bit frosty, Griff hated the big company's who didn't pay farmers their worth and he spread the word to other farmers that a rep was around so no-one would see Audrey which made her job difficult when she was trying to impress her new boss.

I loved this story and the gradual build up to Griff and Audrey's reunion and it was so hot.


I would definitely read more in this series the Shipley family had a great feel to them and I would definitely read more about the other characters.

Currently free in Amazon, so you get the Audio at a bargain price.
