Luna Wright manages a farm in Sunrise Cove, California. She
considers her co-workers as her makeshift family since Luna knows nothing about
her biological family. When her boss Silas passes away, Luna discovers she
inherited fifty percent of the farm, along with other startling news. She must
work with a partner, the person who owns the other fifty percent, to save the
farm from investors. Will Luna figure out a way to save Apple Ridge Farm? Can
she trust Jameson with both the farm’s welfare and her heart?
Jameson Hayes is an investment manager and Silas’ former
business associate. He promises Silas that he would help Luna make the farm
profitable. Jameson never expected to be attracted to his new partner… or be
charmed by the farm and its motley occupants. He tries to figure out a way to
pay off the money the farm owes to investors. Did Jameson finally find the
place he truly belongs? Or will he and Luna fail to save the farm?
Luna and Jameson have a lot in common. They both suffer
from trust and abandonment issues, making it difficult letting others in. The
latter never found a place where he truly belonged until Apple Ridge Farm. Luna
gathered the people she felt comfortable with to form her own place of
belongness. Their shared issues helps them understand and relate to each other.
I love the type of friend Luna is to Willow. She gave her
friend space when demanded, even though it hurt to stay away. No matter Willow’s
cranky demeanor, Luna never gave up on her. She showed up when Willow needed
her the most.
Jameson really showed amazing growth. At first, he was a
little aloof, but eventually he came around. Jameson could not resist Apple
Ridge Farm nor its occupants. He allowed himself to open up to the people there
and found the acceptance he craved. What I adore the most about Jameson is how
a certain goat wormed into his affections. I love their interactions.
THE BRIGHT SPOT is the fifth book in Jill Shalvis’
contemporary romance series, SUNRISE COVE. Each book in this series stands
alone. The only reoccurring thing each story has is the setting: Sunrise Cove,
a town near Lake Taho in California. However, I did squee when a certain bakery
from THE SWEETHEART LIST (book four) is hinted at. What I enjoyed the most from
THE BRIGHT SPOT is a certain grandmother (she’s a riot!) and a certain adorable
goat!
I love the feel-good vibes Jill Shalvis brings to her stories!
She never disappoints. The author knows how to inject the right amount of humor
to balance out serious topics.
