Review: Featherbed by Annabeth Albert
SYNOPSIS:
When a bookworm on borrowed time meets a younger, free-spirited chicken farmer, sparks and feathers fly…
Harrison Phillip Fletcher III isn’t supposed to be here. Not in Burlington, Vermont, not running Vino & Veritas, a quaint inclusive bookstore and wine bar, and definitely not still alive at forty-two. Also not supposed to be here? An unexpected delivery of chickens.
Finn Barnes knows chickens. The burly organic farmer knows all about rare breed poultry, but dealing with a hot, older bookseller is an entirely different matter. City slicker types like Harrison never end up staying in Vermont for the long-term.
They should steer clear of each other. But the flare of attraction is mutual. And somehow, amid book discussions and farm tours, they discover plenty in common. Now they’re stealing kisses in Finn’s barn, sneaking out like teens, and burning up the sheets.
What starts as a fling brings very real feelings for two lonely souls, but a future together seems as unlikely as chickens in a bookstore. Feathers may be flying, but learning to trust takes time neither may have. Can they take a leap of faith together before it’s too late?
Featherbed is a stand-alone novel in Sarina Bowen’s True North world. This opposites attract, age gap romance features a low-angst, fluffy—and feathery—romp as a fish out of water discovers the home he never thought he’d find.
REVIEW:
This book was the perfect start to a new series. An endearing, achingly sweet romance that had me endlessly swooning, I couldn’t get enough of Harrison and Finn. The charming, quaint Vermont settings had me never wanting to leave this world.
I loved the contrast between Harrison and Finn. While both characters aren’t without baggage, they are perfect for each other. With them being older characters, there was an air of maturity to Harrison and Finn. They each respected the others jobs and commitments but they both brought out a playful, sexy side to each other.
The romance is perfectly balanced with tender, heartfelt conversations. I think their emotional connection shined just as brightly as their physical connection. There was a little drama but it was mainly about each man having to decide if he is ready to commit and be completely vulnerable. It was just a light, fluffy romance with a stupidly cute ending. I can’t wait to start the next book.
