I wanted to love this book so badly. I love the cast of characters at Lovelight farms and I want to move to Inglewild like yesterday, so I was primed to love this one. But unfortunately so much of this book did not feel in character with the Layla we came to know and love. Also, there is mention of her family but then that is never really explored. I love Caleb and his family but the conflict in this book felt very contrived. I just don’t believe his brother and friend wouldn’t want him to explore a relationship with Layla after so long of crushing on her. I also found the whole contrivance of the “deal” or whatever to be nonsensical. Total bummer because I still loved the characters but this one wasn’t great.
