This was a great summer read and I'm glad I finally got around to it! (You know, the never ending TBR...) This was a quick read with humor and spice and everything nice... highly recommend taking this one on vacation!

A city girl, a hot farmer, a ridiculous bet, and thirty days. Who will outlast, who will outsmart, who will prove they can change the world?

When Alyson inherits her uncle's orchard she head out to make something of her life. A douchebag -ex and a desire to prove she's capable finds her in small town Nova Scotia. With a magnet for disaster her wardrobe tends to need replacing. Will she learn how to live off the land or be run from it from unexpected disasters?

Alyson and Jay will need to work past their family expectations, prior relationships, and be honest with what they really need and want. With enough wit, banter, and shenanigans the saying "What's in your well water?" takes on a whole lot of fun ;)

This slow burn has enough to start a fire, if they're not careful they could wind up losing everything.

I hope we might be able to revisit these characters as there are plenty to tease at a possible book or two sometime in the future.

I received and advance reader copy for an honest and fair review.

Cute book love the small town romance. It could have been flushed out a little better with the characters back stories. We hear about Alyson being irresponsible, but never see any real examples. Jay keeps saying he was a "bad kid", but the anther doesn't go into any details. Would also love more detail about why he felt compelled to bet against Alyson seems like a lot to gamble a a girl you don't know and how he lost the land in the first place.

Aside from the lacking background details, this book is a perfect romance. Quick read, like able characters and a plot that moves right along. The animal names had me chuckling for sure.

Ahhhhh this was just such a great read. I just didn't want this book to end and I was sad to turn the last page. I'm so excited to see what's next from this author.

#The Burbs and the Bees by # Cathryn Fox is such a fun novel. When you put a city girl on a apple orchard in heels your going to laugh. I did forget to mention she's from New York, and now is in Nova Scotia. Plus add in the neighbor with the bad attitude and a whole lot of sex appeal.
Thank you for the advance copy,

This was a DNF for me. I gave it three stars just because I seem to be in the minority, and I don't want to bring down the whole rating of the book. I couldn't get into this one at all. It just didn't pull me into the story, and I put it down and came back to it so many times that I finally gave up. Maybe it gets better as the story goes on, but I just couldn't make myself give up more time to it. This could very much just be a me thing, and I would definitely give this author another read.

Received a copy of this book for review. Overall it is a good read for me. Love the chemistry between the main characters. Love all the characters. What I love is that each of them does make a difference to the story as it developed. Like to read how the characters In the story are interrelated to each other. It make the story more exciting to read. The setting of the story is nice and is fit nicely to the story.Story plot are well penned out, with a slight twist to it in the end

This is a super fun read. I really enjoyed this one!

Many thanks to the author, the publisher, and Netgalley for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

This is a great beach/summer romance read. It has great characters, steamy scenes and a lot of heart. Nova Scotia sounds like such a great place to visit too now and the author made me want to own a farm and a market! Don’t miss out on this one.

This is a cute romance! I enjoyed this thoroughly. It is charming, sweet and entertaining. My reading experience was dampened by a very similar book I read two weeks prior. It made it very difficult not to compare the two with each other. However, that is totally on me.

I will definitely pick up other books by this author for sure!

I liked this. It's actually a storyline I've been getting into with the American women seeking their self worth outside their usual home (country), and farmers are always fun to watch. But despite the hotness and (small) awkward moments of heated chemistry, I actually really enjoyed my connecting with Alyson. She felt like such a mess-up and watching her thrive in a new environment, being able to see that it's not her, but her surroundings, that truly help her blossom, was personally satisfying.

The moments before the 'big moment' were a little awkward but still entertaining, and after it all finally "went down", it was a pretty smooth sailing course before the huge climax.

It's a recommend if you like the genres and this author. It's cute, it's got hot moments (really, really hot moments) and a sappy ending any romance fan would think deserving of a thumb's up.

So sweet and fun! Sparks of humor, desire, and a need to just be pull this story together in an amazing way! The characters are relatable and really just want to prove things to themselves and others.

Alyson and Jay meet in a way you wouldnt want to meet.Next meeting he is shocked to see she is the new neighbor. The only dfference is he is a farmer and she is Googling farming. Alyson inherits her farm from an uncle she doesn't know. Thankfully she has great neighbors who are willing to help. This story not only shows you can do anything and people are always evolving. It has lots of humor, romance and a crazy rooster. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

God I read this story weeks ago and thought I had reviewed, but realized that I had not life has just been oh so crazy..This book is seriously too cute. In Cathryn Fox fashion it is sexy however we get a whole lot of laughs. We meet Alyson who is totally out of her element in Nova Scotia trying to prove to her family that she can finally stick it out since she really hasn't been able to with any of her previous attempt at jobs, she inherits a farm and that is where she decides to prove herself and I was thinking wow that is some guts because I would have been like, nope you got there and let me tell you that home girl went with some loubitons and a short skirt and ends up in the ocean with her hottie neighbor Jay who she does not know is her neighbor and vice versa and lets just say that these two sizzle and are hilarious together...so grab a copy and Enjoy!

4.5 Stars What a great read!
I loved the characters, from their honesty in finding themselves to the fun quirky moments. The story is engaging and entertaining and this is why Ms. Fox has become an auto buy for me. Do yourself a favor and grab your copy and start reading The Burbs and the Bees.

GAH, how I hate when I accidentally find random books, I’ve read that I have not reviewed, and I love. I mean, that’s probably more information than you care to know but #twitchy *sigh* so this is one of those books. Two minutes ago, I was searching Goodreads for a different book I just finished and bam, I find this. #JesusSaveMeFromMyself

I don’t think I’ve ever met a Cathryn Fox book that I was not entertained by. If the synopsis does not sell you on the epicness that is Alyson, I don’t know what to tell you, because this chic was the bomb. She is all kinds of off balance but undeterred. It was a hoot to read. The connection she had with Jay was pure Cathryn magic, as always. The story was sexy and flirty and all-around fun. Everything about this story was likeable and I would highly recommend it!

4.5 Sexy Swoony STARS

I received a complimentary copy of The Burbs and the Bees in exchange for an honest review. This was such a fun and entertaining novel, and my only regret is it ended too soon! I loved reading about Jay and Alyson's story, and found myself shaking my head at the shenanigans they'd get themselves into. It's been a long time since I've read a good, wholesome romance with a little bit of snark and a lot of humor. Very well done Ms. Fox. Keep them coming!

I’ve been raised as privileged, never wanting for anything. Floating thru life not knowing what I want to do. My parents are getting tired of this and are holding my inheritance until I can find a purpose in life. This is when I inherit, from an uncle I even didn’t know I had, an apple orchard in Nova Scotia. I have to do this for at least thirty days to prove to everyone that I’m capable of completing a task. After arriving at the airport an renting a Tesla, I know I’m nuts, I stop on the coastline and notice an adult and small child at the overlook where they could be swept away by the waves. I try to warn them, but the noise from the ocean is to loud for them to hear me. As I get closer to them, in my high heels, another man tries to warn me of the same thing. As I try explaining, he tries to grab me back and we both fall into the water. Thank goodness a boat sees all this and pull us out. Well come to find out, this my neighbor at the farm, Jay. So things didn’t start out great, but I’m determined to get my life in order.

Jay can’t believe the woman he tried saving is his new neighbor. Stupidly, he makes a bet, that he will give his farm away, if Alyson leaves within thirty days. One thing he can say about her, she’s determined to learn the workings of farm life. To top things off, the airline lost her luggage, and now she’s wearing his clothes. One thing for sure, he can’t allow his attraction to get in the way of making sure she’s gone within thirty days. Attraction and lust have a way of worming their way in when you least expect it.

This book was funny, romantic and oh so sexy!

A rom-com that was entertaining, fun, hilarious with some steamy moments and a meet-cute between Alyson and Jay. They're opposite she's a fashionista and he's a farmer but they can't stay away from each other. The Orchard and its inhabitants were such a nice read.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book received from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Alyson has inherited a farm in Nova Scotia from an uncle she's never met.
The only problem is she's a city girl who has no idea about farming which means ole trusty google comes to the rescue along with her new next door neighbour Jay.
Jay runs his families farm and keeps bees, he feels responsible for his family and is trying to prove he's not the same person he was as a teenager.

Both characters are trying to prove a point to people around them, which gives them something to understand about one another. Also can I just say best meet cute I've read recently!

This is the first book I've read by Cathryn Fox but it won't be the last, her writing sucked me in and I want more.

The banter between Alyson and Jay had me laughing, the chemistry was apparent from their first dip into the Atlantic and only got better as the tension built up.
I adored the animal names Barack O'Lama, Cluck Norris and Freddy all which brought a smile to my face each time they appeared in the book.

Personally I want to spend more time in Nova Scotia in the town of Farmington. I pray that we get books about Jays brothers Tyler and Beck.
