Harvest Moon

By: Denise Hunter

Narrated by: Jessica Holton

She thought he was arrogant. He thought her walls would never come down. Then they fell in love.

Forever walking the line between passion and conflict, Laurel and Gavin’s relationship ended in divorce after years of miscommunication and unmet expectations. Now pursuing their own separate lives and careers, the two are content . . . though not completely happy.

When their best friends, Mike and Mallory, are killed in a plane crash, Laurel and Gavin are stunned to learn they’ve been named guardians of their friends’ young daughter, Emma. Putting their differences aside, the estranged couple search for a suitable guardian as they care for Emma and manage Mike and Mallory’s apple orchard.

Soon tempers flare—as does the passion they both remember so well. And Laurel and Gavin find themselves working through their past—their mistakes, their miscommunications, and ultimately the tragedy that ended their marriage.

Will the seeds of love, still growing inside them, thrive and flourish? Or will grief and regret strangle the feelings before they can fully blossom?

In a beautiful turn of events, Hunter brings unexpected healing out of a devastating situation, subtly reminding the reader that God can create beauty out of the most painful of circumstances and love from the most broken stories. --Pepper Basham, author of The Heart of the Mountains and Authentically, Izzy

This is a sweet, heartwarming romance . . . and a lovely, engrossing story . . . A worthy entry into the Riverbend series, it also reads well as a stand-alone.

A good read

This is a good book. I love Denise hunters books. I haven’t read one that I haven’t liked.

Not your typical love story

I loved this series, and this book was the best of all! I adore the Robinsons and their family dynamics, and this book showed them in very believable ways as they have a hard time not begrudging the ex-wife’s sudden reappearance into their world. I love Gavin in this story. Great character arc.

True love prevails

This book shows love and compassion for others. I enjoyed it and it could easily be a book I’d listen to again.

Love

The courtroom and the way the lawyers thought they were done then the running and hiding from family and friends

Great series end

This was a good story to tie up any loose ends in the adventures of these three siblings and their loves
