Publisher Description
She’s a little edgy. He’s a lot of sunshine. Love’s about to catch them completely off gourd…
A spicy, small town, fall romance you can read in one sitting!
Textile artist Sadie Fox did not sign up for this. When she agreed to come home to Pea Blossom, Indiana, it was to care for her father’s beloved pumpkin patch. The deal was that—just for the summer—she would grow a ginormous pumpkin, win the Indiana State Fair's pumpkin contest and finally win back her father’s (grudging) respect.
Instead, a horde of wild hogs destroyed the. entire. patch. Which is precisely when the annoyingly sexy, sunshiny next-door neighbor shows up.
Josh Thatcher is a tech millionaire who traded in the office for growing gourds, including experimental squash hybrids. And for the life of her, Sadie can’t understand what he sees in her sweary, tattooed, prickly self—or why he’s offering to help his biggest competitor. But a storm-fueled kiss proves there’s definitely something growing between them.
Maybe it’s just attraction. Maybe it’s more. Whatever it is, it’s already bigger than Sadie’s fast-growing pumpkin…or the secret that Josh has been hiding.
Let's Give 'Em Pumpkin to Talk About is a spicy, fast-paced romance you can read in one sitting.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Love grows in the vegetable patch in Popp's delightful debut. Prickly textile artist Sadie Fox is single and struggling in Los Angeles when her father implores her to return to small-town Pea Blossom, Ind. He needs Sadie's help to preserve his reputation as the area's premier pumpkin grower at the upcoming Seasonal Produce of Indiana Celebration and Exposition, or SPICE, while he heads to Florida to care for his injured brother. But he fails to warn her about his new neighbor: the entirely too friendly Josh Thatcher, a burned-out tech bro attempting to reinvent himself as a gentleman farmer. With a proprietary new breed of squash, Josh presents fierce competition for the SPICE Pumpkin Weigh-off. Worse, Sadie discovers her father's prized pumpkins trampled by hogs. She's incensed—but when Josh steps in to help her resolve the issue (incidentally caused by Sadie's high school boyfriend and his burgeoning hog business), opposites attract, sparking a spicy physical relationship. As their connection deepens, both toy with the idea of a full-fledged relationship—until a tornado blows everything off course. The small-town setting charms and lovers of the grumpy/sunshine trope will easily fall in love with Sadie and Josh. Popp should win plenty of fans with this.
