Bet the Farm

De: Staci Hart

Narrado por: Troy Duran, Mia Madison

Olivia Brent has one summer to save the dairy farm she just inherited.

But there's one problem, and it's not her lactose intolerance. It's Jake Milovic.

The brooding farmhand has inherited exactly 50 percent of Brent Farm, and he's so convinced the city girl can't work the land, he bets she can't save it in a summer. Determined to prove him wrong, Olivia accepts what might be the dumbest wager of her life.

His strategy to win seems simple: follow her around, shirtlessly distracting her between bouts of relentless taunting. And it's effective - if his dark eyes and rare smiles aren't enough to sidetrack her, the sweaty, rolling topography of the man-beast's body would do the trick.

What they don't know: They'll have to weather more than each other.

Mysterious circumstances throw the farm into disarray, and with the dairy farm in danger, Olivia and Jake have to work together. But when they do, there's more to fear than either of them imagined.

Because now their hearts are on the line, and the farm won't be the only casualty if they fail.

Chef’s kiss

I couldn’t get enough of this one. Just the perfect amount of… well, everything! Quirky, romantic, full of angst and one liners, and who could ever get enough of the goats ❤️

Slight warning….

This was a cute story, and I wanted to finish it, but I turned it off. I’m not a “Christian-only” book kinda gal, but this one just used the term GD a bit too much for my liking. If that doesn’t bother you, it’s a cute story. Not much cussing otherwise, but after about the 10th time it was used, I decided it just wasn’t for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Grumpy sunshine trope

I love the story it was such a sweet story! It was so sweet and the found family between the grump and sunshine was chefs kiss

Four moooos and blehs

I know this has been on my reading device for quite a while. But when I discovered it was part of the Audible Plus catalog, I decided to listen to it and see if it was worth it. Honestly, it was okay. I was looking forward to a feel-good, small-town vibe, but sadly, I felt it was not enough. I was looking for more.

The same goes for the budding love story of our MCs. I wasn't rooting for them much, and I felt that dreadful book slump. Thankfully, today's household chores got me busy; otherwise, I would've DNF-ed this.

This is my first book by the author, and if there is another book of hers in the Plus catalog, I may consider adding it to my library. But for now, I am glad to have finished this book to move on and cut the delays in my reading challenge.

Super adorable story and characters

This is such an enjoyable listen! I loved the storyline and the characters are excellent. I Love the back and forth between these two!
Its witty and smart. Also all the descriptions of Jake with his shirt off while working the farm or dang that time he left the house with an open shirt..no shoes after brushing his teeth—ME-OW! I love the idea that Olivia comes up with..very inventive. When she puts pj’s on the kids? I couldn't stop picturing it and smiling. She has her adorable quirks.

Overall this is a wonderful book. Its not the first nor will it be the last from her. I fid listen to this on audio. Troy Duran and Mia Madsen did a wonderful job narrating
