Country Contract by Lee Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"Country Contract" by Lee Jackson is a charming and heartfelt addition to the Pebble Creek series. From the very first page, I was drawn into the lives of the characters and the picturesque setting of Pebble Creek. Have you ever read a book that made you feel like you were stepping into a cozy small town?

The story centers around Harlow West, a woman from a wealthy California family who is used to living a life of luxury. After a painful breakup, her father decides to take control of her love life and orchestrates a way for her to find a suitable partner. Feeling suffocated by her father's plans, Harlow escapes to a quaint town. Can you imagine the relief of escaping to a quiet, welcoming place after dealing with such turmoil?

This intriguing setup adds a unique twist to the typical romance plot. How would you feel entering into a relationship with such clear boundaries and goals?

As Harlow and Harrison spend more time together, they see beyond the contract. Their growing connection is beautifully portrayed, and I found myself rooting for them as they navigate their feelings and the obstacles in their path.
