In the Weeds by B. K. Borison

A special thank you to the author, B. K. Borison, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Evelyn St. James isn’t the kind of woman you forget.

Beckett Porter certainly hasn’t. One incredible weekend in Maine, and he’s officially a man distracted. He’s not unfamiliar with hot and heavy flings. He knows how it goes. But Evie wove some sort of magic over him during their tumble in the sheets. He can’t stop thinking about her laugh. Her hand pressed flat against his chest. Her smiling mouth at his neck.

Also, her eyes. And her legs. 

So when she suddenly appears on his farm as part of a social media contest, he is…confused. He had no idea that the sweet and sexy woman he met at a bar is actually a global phenomenon: social media influencer Evelyn St. James. When she disappears again, Beckett resolves to finally forget her and move on. 

But Evelyn St. James has a problem. 

Feeling disconnected from her work and increasingly unhappy, she’s trying to find her way back to something real. She returns to the last place she was happy, Lovelight Farms and the tiny town of Inglewild. 

It has absolutely nothing to do with the hot farmer she spent two incredible nights with. 

Nothing at all. 

Borison's follow-up to Lovelight Farms is a second-chance romance about finding one's own happiness and worth. 

Evie is a workaholic that is struggling in her daily life with balance and burnout. Beckett is surrounded by strong women—his mom, his sisters, Stella, and Layla—but even with the emotional depth this allows him, he has trouble voicing his wants. There is an added layer of vulnerability that comes through in his love for animals and how social settings are a bit much for him (cue the earmuffs).      

Borison's writing is quiet and unassuming. It literally creeps up on you and envelopes you in a giant hug—which is what you will want to do with this book when you finish it. Besides a few missteps with punctuation, it is hard to believe that she isn't a seasoned author and is self-published. 

In the Weeds is a second-chance romance is about finding one's own happiness and worth. It is sweet, steamy, and sexy. A total smash! 

B. K. BORISON started writing in the margins of books when she was in middle school and hasn't stopped. Lovelight Farms was her debut novel.

Borison lives in Washington D.C. with her sweet husband, vivacious toddler, and giant dog.
