Autumn Sanders is looking for a husband and answers an ad online for men living in a small farming town in Minnesota looking for wives. Upon entering Harmon Junction, she meets handsome farmer, Paul Michaels, and they immediately get off on the wrong foot. Besides, he’s not one of the three men she’s scheduled to meet.

When Autumn’s pay from her job doesn’t arrive in her bank account to pay the hotel bill, Paul steps in. He pays her hotel bill and takes her home to his farm where she cooks and does home and farm chores to pay him back. Autumn stumbles through learning how to do ranch chores, learning how to run the washing machine, cook for a crew of ranch hands but soon falls in love with farm living.

Autumn soon meets her potential would-be husbands and decides none of the three men are right for her. She finds herself drawn more and more to Paul. Paul wasn’t looking for a wife, but knows he’s found one in Autumn. There’s a definite sizzle between them.

Within just a few months’ time, Paul knows Autumn’s the woman for him and proposes marriage. Autumn doesn’t immediately accept his proposal because she insists she wants him to court her—they need to learn more about each other.

Then Paul receives a letter—one that will ultimately change his life forever—and affect Autumn’s life as well.

Will these obstacles deter them from each other, or will their growing love keep them together?

When fashion designer Autumn has a painful run-in with her ex and his new girlfriend, she decides it’s time for a change. She wants a new start and longs for marriage and family, so she decides to respond to an ad from Harmon Junction, a Minnesota farming community looking for prospective brides. Once she arrives, she meets handsome farmer, Paul Michaels. Despite his accidentally hitting her cat on her arrival in town, their attraction is immediate. Meantime, none of the three men she’s been matched with turn out to be the least bit interesting.

Soon Autumn is living and working on Paul’s farm to repay him for taking care of her hotel bill when her design pay doesn’t arrive in her checking account. Romance ensues, despite their different backgrounds, her insistence that he properly court her, and a surprising turn of events in Paul’s life.

Readers will love the lively interactions between Autumn and Paul as they move toward their “happily ever after.” I loved this romance and highly recommend it!

This book was a true delight to read in every way. Autumn is one of four sisters, all who are named after the seasons and she displays the fire and spirit of a young woman who knows what she wants in life, and goes for it, come what may.
Looking for love, but not just any love--but a deep, simple and true love, she responds to an advertisement from the rural town of Harmony Junction, an area that is looking for women to marry willing and eager farmers who seek a wife. When going there, she immediately has a bad encounter, by the name of Paul. After a series of hilarious, miscommunicated, heartfelt moments, romance blossoms where there was none, and it develops into a heartfelt story, while also giving notice to the small-town farmers that deserve their due.
I admit that I'm the type who prefers tales of love, fun, diversion, and a joy to read. So, this was precisely what I was looking for.
Five star? totally worth the rating. Looking forward to the next book in the series!
