"Samuel Payton is a passionate youth pastor in Virginia, but below the surface, he’s still recovering from the blow of a failed business and insecurities he can’t shake. His coworker, start-up expert Kimberly Foster, is brilliant, fearless, and capable, but years of personal rejection have left her defensive and longing for a family. Two people have never been more at odds—or more attracted to one another. And every day at work, the sparks sure do fly.
When Kimberly’s ambitious plans for Sam’s ministry butt up against his risk-averse nature, Sam decides that obligations to family trump his work for the church. He quits the ministry and heads home to Australia to help his sister, Jules, save her struggling farm. As Kimberly’s grand plans flounder, she is forced to face the truth: that no one can replace Sam. Together they strike up a deal: If Kimberly comes to work on Jules’s dairy farm and lends her business brains to their endeavor, then maybe—just maybe—Sam will reconsider his future with the church.
As Kimberly tries her hand at Australian farm life, she learns more about herself than she could’ve ever expected. Meanwhile Sam is forced to re-evaluate this spunky woman he thought he already knew. As foes slowly morph into friends, they wonder if they might be something even more. But when disaster strikes the farm, will Sam find it within himself to take a risk that could lead to love? And will Kimberly trust God with her future? "

How far will a girl go to win back a guy she can’t stand?
AH! This book was amazing!
At first glance you'd think it was just a quick, fluffy, chick-lit rom-com then poof you're done. No siree! There was so much more to this delightful, and delicious book!
While there were MANY a swoon worthy moment, we also got heart, pain, confusion, and the human feelings. This book was real, every feeling and emotion that rolled across the page was real!
There were some great, meaty conversations about trusting God! And I loved every one of them! There were so many quotable moments in this book. Lessons we could all apply to our lives!
I loved the premise, and the "hate to love" troupe is one of my favorite troupes ever. Especially when we get TWO romances in one book! *insert ALL the heart eyes* 😍😍😍
Both story lines were written beautifully. Neither one felt like it was missing anything, or the other got more love than the other. (Though I'm partial to Kate & Sam's story because...well...Sam...😍)
There were misunderstandings and miscommunication galore (like any good rom-com), but they always got to the point that they talked it through.
Jessica is a crazy talented author, and I can't wait to see where she goes next!
4.5/5 stars!
