A Sparkling Story
The third book in the series 'Sisters of Wishing Bridge Farm'. Pepper Watson likes to be in control and ever since her parents died and aged eleven she was sent to live in Sunshine, Connecticut she has wanted and, planned to go back home to Seattle. Eight years ago she made it there but now her douche bag of a boss and ex-fiancé has made it impossible for her to live and work there. Temporarily she is living back at the farm and helping her sisters with their wedding planning business. Besides worrying about her finances and finding a new job, she could do without being around her sister Bec's best friend Ben Cooper, whom she finds annoying and distracting. However, when he comes to her rescue sparks begin to fly between the pair of them. This book can be read as a standalone.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own.

I really liked this book. I liked both Ben and Pepper. I didn't realize it was a series, but as it is, this book can stand alone, there's enough backstory here to give you a solid back ground.
Pepper comes home, not by choice after breaking up with her now ex fiancé who was a total dirt ball, her life in Seattle was solid, she was ready to make partner in the law firm she worked for until he took that away from her, deciding she'd need to spend more time at home after they married!! I thought what fresh hell is this? Not only that, he blackballs her from getting a job anywhere else in Seattle so she has little choice but to return home to CT, to the town she couldn't wait to leave. Home to her sisters who still live there, one about to marry, the other pregnant and soon to marry and Pepper takes on the wedding planning... short notice. They have 4 weeks. She left behind something else too when she left the town of Sunshine, Ben Cooper. Ben's twin and Pepper were best friends. Since an incident in high school Ben and Pepper are like oil and water. When Ben's at the farmhouse getting something for Bec, Pepper's ex shows up. He's nasty, rude and bossy and at a loss Pepper latches on to Ben thinking that will shut the ex down and it does. He leaves, while they are enjoying their first kiss.
The tension between these two was incredible and Amanda did a great job writing both Ben and Pepper. Things said and left unsaid. The past, Ben opening up to her. And finally Pepper and Ben growing more intimate, but what happens then? The day her sister gets married. A phone call from somewhere else. Ben's reaction. Pepper's reaction to Ben. All the tensions bubble up and wow did they ever. So well written and man, I didn't see that coming.
Loved this book, I'd like to go back and get a gander at the earlier books in the series.
Great story Amanda!! 4.5 stars from me.

I had read Bec's book in the past and enjoyed it, so I was looking forward to enjoying this one as well-- and I did. I did feel that there were several formatting errors and some missed words, which sometimes made it difficult to follow who was saying what. I also felt that the author could have made it a little longer-- near the end I felt like it wrapped up a little quickly/too easily. There just felt like something was missing. Overall, I did enjoy the book though and will look forward to reading more by this author.

Ben and Pepper have been too busy locking horns with each other to give in to the attraction sizzling between them.
But now that Pepper is back in Sunshine indefinitely, and them both working side by side in the wedding planning business, they decide to a truce.
Spending time together, they finally give in to their attraction but with Pepper eager to get away from Sunshine and Ben putting down roots, can they have anything more than a fling ?
This was a quick, fun read. I enjoy small town romances, the supporting characters are always super fun, which was true in this case also, especially Stan, the taxi driver. The clients and cases he kept getting for Pepper were hilarious.
A light hearted, entertaining read that I really enjoyed.
