This is the third installment of The Whitford Crew series. I have been reading the series from the beginning and it has been quite charming series. This latest addition also did not disappoint. Cecilia is an entomologist and is passionate about her work. But when she finds herself more often than not advancing a man's career instead of her own, she becomes fed up and decides to retreat to her family home. When she arrives there, she is reunited with her childhood friend, Daniel, who has been hired for his landscaping skills. Though their reunion doesn't start off smoothly, they begin to spend time together and reconnect. But Daniel wont't let anyone derail him in his efforts to adcance his career, not even his growing attraction to Cecilia. She in turn is tired of advancing a man's career at the expense of her own. Will they both let their guard down and allow the love inevitably blossoming between them to grow?
This was a very sweet story with lovely characters, and I enjoyed reading it.
Thank you Netgalley for providing a complimentary copy. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Nice but not enough conflict/tension and depth for me.
This story is rather sweet with pleasant MCs, great supporting cast, an adorable dog. It misses the spark to really stand out as more than OK read for me. It feels like the author touches upon some serious topics re women's rights but just glides over the surface without exploring any of the topics in detail.

I didn’t like this book, not due to the authors writing style or the setting, both were good, but rather because the female lead was so unlikeable. She was very self-centred and it was written that the reader should feel sorry for her suffering due to her poor decisions. Also for a book set in that time period, it was unexpected that it would be so graphic with the intimate scenes, and so seemed a bit jarring. Overall I couldn’t recommend as I didn’t enjoy it, and rather suffered through it as I wanted to see if the male lead could end up with someone else who was more likeable
