BLURB:
I’ve always listened to my heart, and what it wants is him.
Remi
I can confidently say I never thought my crush on my best friend’s older brother would amount to anything.
Until Benson Harper returns to Darling, possibly to stay.
As the forty-two-year-old desperately searches for his sense of self, I begin falling for a man I never truly knew before now. One who’s kind, honest, and caring.
Amidst wildlife rehabilitation, explorations in mountain climbing, and the strained tensions with his brother, Benson works up the courage to tell his family he’s autistic. And I gain companionship that goes far beyond the eldest Harper brother shadowing me on the ranch.
I wasn’t prepared for love to bloom in the quiet days spent by Benson’s side.
Now, I’m not prepared to lose him.
Painted in Wildflowers is a brother’s-best-friend romance at a small-town ranch, with a twelve-year age gap, the cutest-ever sidekick, Deaf and autistic representation, and one very HEA. It’s book 4 in The Darling Brothers series but can be read as a standalone.
REVIEW:
Note: This is the third book in this series, but it works fine as a standalone. I enjoyed the other two books so I recommend them as well but they aren’t necessarily prerequisites to reading this story.
