Publisher Description
Romeo and Juliet's families caused all sorts of problems, but the two lovers took that poison themselves, the idiots.
When Beth Ellingson meets Ethan Brooks, it's because her aunt and father are conspiring to steal the Birch Creek Ranch from the handsome young man. It wasn't the cutest way to meet, but just as roses grow best when fertilized with manure, sometimes beauty springs from tragedy.
Beth's father's definitely a stinker, and she wants to spare Ethan the misery of affiliating with him. But Ethan's never been afraid of a fight when the cause is just. Can these two young but beloved Birch Creek characters find their happily ever after? Or will the biggest surprise of their young lives derail all their plans and poison their future?

Best Surprise - EVER
Well if this book is not a surprise. According to the ending of Book 5 the next one was going to be called the Setback but then there is Bridget and her love of writing. This is not a standalone; it has to be read as part of the series. So if you are not caught up on all things Birch Creek march yourself back to Book 1 - The Bequest. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Unlike the rest in the series this book is not focusing on Amanda, Abigail, and Donna but this is the story of Ethan and Beth but still you won’t get it if you don’t know who Amanda, Abigail, and Donna are. Last warning do not read on if you are not all caught up.
Ethan, as the oldest son of Abigail, is used to being around girls and knowing what they are trying to tell him. But with Beth it is different she is not his sister and she is the first cute girl he has met that is close to his age in Birch Creek. So why is Beth so difficult to decipher for him? All Ethan wants is to make Beth his girlfriend but there are lots of obstacles in the world
Beth is the niece of Donna. She chose to stay in town when her parents left. Having grown up in a household with a father that ignored the problems her mother had and learning to always make excuses for everything she has a hard time when it comes to understanding her feelings. She has big insecurities and having a ‘hot’ guy like Ethan liking her just doesn’t seem right. Can Beth overcome her hurdles and make the decision that will make her happy?
Once more Bridget has blown me away. Not only did she write a surprise book that wasn’t planned but it is written in a way that I could hardly put it down. I was so captivated by the story and the often tough story that I neglected a few chores to get to the end. Now I am waiting anxiously for book 7 to see what else is going to happen in Birch Creek. This book is clean but has a little twist in it with a surprise pregnancy. I promise, you won’t be sad that you ever started your journey to Birch Creek.
Acceptance is everything
B.E. Baker writes novels about families that specialize in acceptance and support. The characters are well rounded and truly come to life. No, they are not perfect and neither is their life but somehow you come away from each of these books wishing that you had a personal relationship with each and every member of the family.
