About the Book:

Beekeeper Beckett Walsh is living her dream, working alongside her father in their apiary, until his untimely death sends her world into a tailspin. She suddenly finds she must deal with a new part owner of the family business--one who is looking to sell the property. Beck cannot fathom why her father would put her into the position to lose everything they built together.

When Callie Peterson is named in the trust of a man she's never heard of, she's not sure what to do. Her fledgling business has just taken wing and her mother has reentered her life asking for help getting into rehab for her lifelong substance abuse issues, making Callie's financial situation rather . . . precarious. She's sure she has no right to someone else's farm, but the money from the sale could solve her problems and give her the stability she's always craved.

As these two women navigate their present conundrum, they will discover a complex and entangled past full of secrets--and the potential for a brighter future for both of them.

 

My Rating & Thoughts:    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beckett has recently lost of her father and finds out that he has left part of their home to another person. Beckett does not know who this person is and why her father did this. The other person also has no idea why they were named or what their connection is. The two end up having to work together to figure it out and what they are going to do. One wants to sell and one wants to keep, one is most likely going to be hurt by whichever decision is reached. I quickly connected with Beckett, her dilemma and her feelings of why her father did this without any explanation. It took me longer to connect with the other character involved in this situation, but I did like the compassion they showed to Beckett and was torn between the choices. As the story progressed I found myself wishing certain good things to happen for them. There is a little girl (approx. 10) that ends up helping out around the farm with Beckett and she was entertaining at times. I had to laugh at some of the lines she said. There is also two separate romantic interests for our mains and I was rooting for romance to develop. I was pleased with the way the story ended and how they got there.
