Lavender and Mistletoe is the next story about the fearsome foursome who started the lavender farm. You'll love how two brainy people meet and fall in love.. The characters keep getting more real to life. Very enjoyable read.

This is a short installment in the Blue Hollow Falls series, focusing on the young prodigy, Avery. Avery intends to study what makes humans fall in love and set up her dear friend and business partner, Chey, with the cute vet who is filling in for a few months. She doesn’t expect to fall in love herself!

The latest books in the series tell the story of four friends who met through grief and came together to find themselves and build their futures on a lavender farm. This sweet book fits nicely in the larger series, but could also be read without any prior experience with the series.

I am thankful for the advance electronic copy of the bipod I received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Avery and her three best friends own a lavender farm, where they each have a role to fulfill. Avery, with her “big brain” is the mad scientist creating lotions and potions. Ben is the substitute veterinarian for their community. Sparks flew when they first meet, and continue to be combustible. However, the best thing is that they have so much in common. However, Ben is a roamer and a wanderer, while Avery feels like she has finally settled down and found her home. Can they overcome the possible logistical challenges to have a successful long-term relationship?

This book is the second in a series about the four best friends. It was a worthy successor to the initial book which was Hannah’s story. My only disappointment in the book was that it lacked any real follow-up with Hannah.

I love Christmas and love stories that happen at Christmas time! The book cover is so pretty! Avery is exceptionally bright but lacks social awareness and is awkward around others. Ben is a veterinarian subbing for a local doctor. They mesh well but it takes Avery a while to understand it. It was nice to see her friends supporting her and accepting her differences.

Lavender and mistletoe.
I love a romance especially a Christmas book.
I have enjoyed going back to Blue Hollow Falls.
Each book has its own story to tell.
It has the good feel factor ,very enjoyable read .

I adore small town stories with characters that steal a bit of my heart as I read about them. This book was one of those times. I came to love Avery Kent and her Big Brain (she is a genius). She is gifted with the ability to learn and understand easily, and remember everything. Her character, as well as the others, are so well developed that I felt a part of the community of the lavender farm, which Avery is a part owner. Avery is surrounded by people that love her and want the best of life for her.
Welcome the temporary veterinarian, Ben Chandler (who is also a genius), and Avery’s life definitely takes a time warp to her happily ever after future when she rescues a pygmy goat in the snow. Ben and Avery are immediately attracted to each other, but in spite of that, Avery wants to match him up with her friend. That is not to be, as you will find out as the story unfolds.
I really enjoyed this book. Unlike most romance stories, where the hero and heroine are attracted, then have a disagreement, only to be reunited, this story flows as I wish life would. Avery and Ben are rational, intelligent people that are trained to research and find a solution instead of jumping to a wrong conclusion. They are a bonded couple before they even realize that they are.
Thank you to NetGalley.com and Kensington Book for allowing me to read the ARC of heartwarming book. I look forward to more stories taking place in Blue Hollow Falls.

If you're a fan of romantic holiday stories with a happily ever after guarantee, then you will love Donna Kauffman's latest novella. This is a heartwarming, fun read. Avery's intelligence is off the charts, but relationships are beyond her knowledge or experience. Ben is a swoon-worthy hero. He's understanding and accepting of Avery. A former child prodigy himself, he gets her in a way that no one else has before. Ben's also more than willing to teach her all there is to know about love and chemistry.

Although this is part of the Blue Hollow Falls series, this can be read as a standalone.

Get ready for the most wonderful, warm, heartwarming read. I always brace myself for the inevitable conflict in a story however Avery and Ben are the most amazing characters and their story is sweet and deep and will wrap you in a (light on the holiday) romance. Although we met Avery in a previous book, the author writes more depth so we get to know her and what makes her the absolute character she is. Ben is new to the Blue Hollow Falls family but he is the most understanding individual…just what Avery needs and a match for her in every way.

I love the Blue Hollow Falls stories and this one doesn’t disappoint. Avery is so very smart and intelligent – she often says she has a big brain and makes no apologies for who she is. Ben is the perfect match for her as he, too, has a high IQ but the most important thing is…he ‘gets’ her. They also complement each other in most ways. And their chemistry is off the charts, right from the start.

Lavender & Mistletoe is a standalone story and it is wonderful; no deep, tragic storylines. I loved it and enjoyed my stay in Blue Hollow Falls once again. I highly recommend this story and all the rest of the books in the series.

This is a short and sweet book featuring four lovely ladies and a handsome bachelor who woos one of them. It's quick-witted and funny, and a little steamy at times, too. I wasn't aware of it being part of a series, though, and it definitely feels like I've missed out on quite a bit of backstory by coming into this book without having read any of the others.

The second book about the Fearsome Foursome. Avery has a big brain and analyzes the world. When she meets the new vet in town she isn’t sure what to do. ARC

They're back! Hannah, Vivi, Avery and Chey. Gosh I love these ladies. I love their bond, their stories, and their life advice. This story focuses on Avery and one very handsome and lucky Ben Campbell. You'd think that Ben being a Vet, he'd be the perfect match for Chey. Avery thought so too. But no. One look into curious and intelligent Avery's eyes and he was hooked.

This was an easy read, with two people who fall in love without a bunch of dramatic fighting against it. That's refreshing to read, and I really enjoyed it. I read this in a day, locking myself in my office for romance while my husband asked if I was going to come out anytime soon. No, husband. I'm being romanced. But seriously, this is a great read as all of Donna's books are. I highly recommend it!
