Description
Love’s about to catch them completely off gourd…
Textile artist Sadie Fox did not sign up for this. When she agreed to come home to Pea Blossom, Indiana, it was to care for her father’s beloved pumpkin patch. The deal was that—just for the summer—she would grow a ginormous pumpkin, win the Indiana State Fair's pumpkin contest and finally win back her father’s (grudging) respect.
Instead, a horde of wild hogs destroyed the. entire. patch. Which is precisely when the annoyingly sexy, sunshiny next-door neighbor shows up.
Josh Thatcher is a tech millionaire who traded in the office for growing gourds, including experimental squash hybrids. And for the life of her, Sadie can’t understand what he sees in her sweary, tattooed, prickly self—or why he’s offering to help his biggest competitor. But a storm-fueled kiss proves there’s definitely something growing between them.
Maybe it’s just attraction. Maybe it’s more. Whatever it is, it’s already bigger than Sadie’s fast-growing pumpkin…or the secret that Josh has been hiding.
From showing up to glowing up, the characters in Afterglow Books are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way. Don’t miss any of these other fun titles…

This was such a fun read that I can't wait to go back into when fall comes around!
I absolutely love Sadie's personality and the banter between MC's. You don't see many books lately with a plus size FMC and I love when I find ones that are close to my own size to help relate to the characters even more. I've never read anything that has a pumpkin patch scenario and honestly we need more because it was such a breath of fresh air.

Thank you to NetGalley, Isabelle Popp, and Harlequin -Romance for allowing me access to enjoy this e-arc!
I was so excited to read this small-town story with a plus-sized FMC and it did not disappoint whatsoever. The main characters (Josh and Sadie) had such amazing chemistry and the black cat/golden retriever dynamic between them worked so well. I loved the inclusion of deeper conversations and talks about mental health and therapy. This always gives characters more depth and personality and makes them so much more relatable. The supporting characters also added wonderful dimension to the story, and I wouldn’t mind seeing a spin-off story of perhaps Grace’s new life. She deserves her own Josh.
I wholeheartedly recommend anyone looking for a mildly spicy, small town, opposites-attract rom-com to pick up Let’s Give ‘Em Pumpkin to Talk About.
