Year 6, week 19: Lovelight Farms

This week's book:
Lovelight Farms
By B. K. Borison

This is last week's blog. We were hit with a storm with killer low temperatures, and then our whole family was hit with the flu. My eldest was hit first, then the middle child, and then the three year old on Christmas Eve. I was last (knock wood) on the day after Christmas. All I can say is 34 weeks pregnant and the flu is no joke, I would not recommend, zero stars. 

And speaking of things that I wouldn't recommend, this week's book. I was listening to it while I made my husband's Zelda themed napkins and was trying to finish a baby quilt for the hubby's best friend's upcoming son. I didn't finish the quilt before the hubs went to see his friends for a guy's night, and then we all got the flu so I haven't finished the quilt yet. Hopefully before we have our own baby girl at the end of January. 

Anyway, this book is about a tree farmer who has to have her guy best friend pretend to be her boyfriend so she can win some competition of some sort with a big money prize that will help her save her tree farm. I thought it sounded like a classic Hallmark Christmas movie, but the writing was so clunky. The heroine has been in love with her friend since the beginning of the friendship, and it appears he is in love with her too. Normally there is plot development and there just wasn't in this book. The romance scenes are boring and the book just doesn't pull in the reader. 

Apparently this is the first book of a series, but I don't plan on reading the rest of the books.
