In this competition, it’s not just the house on the line,
it’s their hearts.
She has the touch when it comes
to food, but PJ McKinley’s dream of opening her own restaurant is one building
short of reality. So when a Chapel Springs resident offers her beloved
ancestral home as prize to the applicant with the best plan for the house, PJ
believes she was meant to win.
Contractor Cole Evans is
confident, professional, and swoon-worthy—but this former foster kid knows his
life could have turned out very differently. When Cole discovers the contest,
he believes his home for foster kids in transition has found its saving grace.
All he has to do is convince the owner that a not-for-profit enterprise will be
good for the community.
When the eccentric
philanthropist weighs the proposals, she proposes an outlandish tie-breaker: PJ
and Cole will share the house for a year to see which idea works best. Now,
with Cole and the foster kids upstairs and PJ and the restaurant below,
day-to-day life has turned into an out-and-out rivalry—with some seriously
flirtatious hallway encounters on the side. But could their magnetic attraction
cost them everything they’ve ever wanted?
PJ McKinley
has always felt like she has something to prove, especially to her family. So when
she has the opportunity to start her own restaurant right out of culinary
school—as long as she wins the rights to her neighbor’s ancestral home—she jumps
at the chance. There’s only one problem. She has to earn it while sharing it
with a man she can barely go five minutes without arguing with.
Cole
Evans has wanted to open a home for in transition foster kids for a long time. Now that he
has his chance, he hates that he has to share the house with PJ. Her restaurant
is taking up valuable rooms that he could use to help more kids. And her bubbly
personality has an uncanny way of getting under his skin, no matter how hard he
tries to keep her at bay.
With
tensions mounting as they continually get closer to the day when someone will
win the house, will Cole and PJ learn to work together or will they both lose
everything they’ve always dreamed of?
The Wishing Season was another wonderful
book in Denise Hunter’s Chapel Springs
Romance series that I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved the way the PJ and Cole
interacted and the ways they dealt—or didn’t—with their problems. While there
were many touching, serious moments that I enjoyed, I think most of my favorite
ones were the sillier scenes that made me laugh. Anyway, I give The Wishing Season all five bookmarks
for its relatability, for PJ’s need to prove herself and Cole’s battle with
guilt. I would highly recommend it, and Married Til Monday, which comes out in
less than three weeks!
Happy
reading!
