….two strangers visiting Apple Trail. When they get together will they put in roots in this small town or go back to their lives?
It’s been a White Picket Fence life for Nicolette. Charming, but tedious. She graduated high school, raring to go. Nothing is ever as easy as it seems though. The fear of being stuck in a rut, living a dull day-to-day life keeps Nicolette from settling on a career, despite her six years of college. When the chance arrives for her to housesit, she takes opportunity by the horns for a little playtime. She would experience life and find something that would make her happy.
Drew knows exactly what he wants. To run the family construction business. Too bad his dad doesn’t think he’s ready. They make a deal. Drew will help his cousin put up a new fence and after he’s learned hard work, the construction business is his. Drew’s not sure learning how to string fence line together will see him suitable for a career of paper pushing, but he’ll do it.
When Drew meets the wanna-be-free-spirited Nicolette, his determined thoughts of what he’s always worked for begins to sway. Nicolette’s finding the fun in life. But their relationship is temporary. A week tops.
My Thoughts:
This was a wonderful story of finding one’s self. In the story In the Hay we meet Nicolette, a sweet, shy girl who has never done anything just for herself. All that changes when she goes to house sit in a small town where no one knows her or care what she does. Now is her chance to do all the things she has ever wanted to try. Including kissing a perfect stranger.
Drew is a man on a mission. He just wants to get in, get the job done and get out. Just to prove to his father that he is a hard worker and can take over the family business. But when fate brings a cute red-head who can’t dance to save her life in to his life everything changes. This sweet, fun and feisty woman opens his eyes to all the things her wants one day. But Drew is not ready, he has his goals and she is not one of them.
I really enjoyed this story. Nicolette is just fun. She has a way about her that is just to sweet even when she is causing trouble. Drew on the other hand is just a boy trying to get what he wants when he wants it. It is fun to watch both of them grow over the course of the week that they spend together. But just like anything good it always has to come to an end.
If you want to find out more about Drew & Nicolette please check out In The Hay. In The Hay is the 3rd story in Keri’s Apple Trail Series. Reviews for Through the Wall #1 and On the Fence #2 will be up early next week.
Uh oh, sounds good!!
