Publisher Description
Love begins in Lake Bittersweet …
Out in the forest, wilderness guide Galen Cooper’s skill is legendary. But put him anywhere near gorgeous newcomer Brenda McMurray and he can barely remember how to speak. Yup, he’s got a crush, and he’s got it bad. But a traumatic childhood has left him unfit for civilization, let alone a classy beauty like Brenda. If his wild and wooly appearance doesn’t scare the new teacher off, surely his odd combination of shy and brusque will.
Brenda’s move to Lake Bittersweet came after a personal loss; now she finds comfort and solace in the small town. Being near her free-spirited granny is just what she needs, even if the sassy senior is determined to meddle in her business. Maybe it’s odd that her granny’s sex life is better than hers, but Brenda’s too busy for dating, what with her work and a certain secret project.
When a local senior’s last request sends her and Galen on a wilderness adventure, they discover far more than the wonders of nature. Sure, their chemistry is as surprising as it is combustible, but can a mountain man and a fourth-grade teacher ever have a future? Maybe…if Galen can face his past. And if Brenda’s secret doesn’t blow up in her face. And if a simple crush can change two lives forever.

Entertaining and Heartwarming
Another visit to Lake Bittersweet and another great read from the very talented Ms Bernard. If you love small town romances look no further than Galen and Brenda’s story in The Crush ( Lake Bittersweet #6).
Brenda is new in town and is looking for a friend, what she didn’t expect was to fall hook, line and sinker for Galen…..
This book ticked all my boxes, I fell hard and fast for Galen, I adored Brenda because she is just the friend I need in my corner and let’s not forget her interfering granny because once you add her in you get a delightful, witty read. The banter is witty, the chemistry is sizzling but it’s the love that makes this a wonderful heartwarming journey.
Loved it
This was an entertaining read that ticked all the boxes for me. From the first chapter to the last I was hooked on Galen Cooper and Brenda McMurray’s story.
The attraction that sizzled between Galen and Brenda was impossible to ignore. I fell hard and for Galen, such a swoon worthy man who I adored whilst Brenda is someone I could call a friend, add in her interfering granny and I was hooked.
Brenda is new in town and the sparks fly when she and Galen meet. I loved everything about The Crush, it made me feel good and don’t get me started on the witty banter. The Crush is a heartwarming romantic lover story that held me captive from the first chapter.
