Caspian is up next. When they were young all the boys were bullied, mistreated or ignored by their father Rex. Stella did her best to protect and defend them, and then Jasper loved them unconditionally and they became the Moon family, but those hurts inflicted by Rex cut deep and some of his cruel barbs were hard to forget. Caspian may have had the worst of it. He struggled in school, was slow to grasp some things, and was convinced he was dumb because of it. A perception reinforced by his uncaring father. Worst of all, he loved to cook, and Rex never missed the opportunity to ridicule him for it. Turns out he was dyslexic, but Rex would have none of testing or medication and poor Caspian struggled and just did the best he could.
Twenty years later Caspian successfully runs the restaurant and is the talented chef at the Crescent Moon Ranch. But old wounds are still there and he’s convinced romance is not for him. Who could ever love him, who would want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere in Montana with him? He’s resigned to the occasional date that leads nowhere. Until – until – Elliot Young applies for the position of pastry chef. He wants to be irritated because she’s late for the interview but instead finds himself tongue-tied and nervous, feeling that there is something oh so right about being around this woman. Awww, Caspian, our fingers are going to stay crossed for you for the rest of this book.
Elliot hasn’t had an easy childhood either. Never knew her father, her mother suffered from depression and committed suicide when Elliot was eleven years old, and the aunt who lovingly raised her from that point on has recently died. To make matters worse, Elliot has a stalker. She’s gotten a restraining order but it’s all so stressful she leaves her job, gives up her apartment, closes down all social media and decides to move away where she (hopefully) can’t be found. Bluefern, Montana might just be it.
From the minute they meet Caspian and Elliot dance and tiptoe around each other. Caspian is the boss and afraid to step over any lines; he’s so careful about it that Elliot is almost convinced he doesn’t even like her. It’s funny and sweet to watch them just about give in to that magnetic pull and then jump back, and it’s heart-breaking to learn of their past pain and struggles and to see their current fears and uncertainty.
Harvest Moon is a delightful addition to this delightful series. Stella and Jasper are as marvelous together as always. Atticus and Annie together again are heartwarming. All the Moon men are handsome and charming (even Soren who hides it well) and fun to get to know better with each book. Author Tess Thompson does her usual excellent job of reuniting us with characters we know and love while giving us a close-up, in-depth look at the brother in the spotlight. Harvest Moon is well plotted and perfectly paced, switching viewpoints between Caspian and Elliot, and surprising us with a really unique twist that you probably won’t see coming but that fits into this extremely satisfying story.
Thanks to the author for providing an advance copy of Harvest Moon as part of her ARC team. I thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait to see who’s up next and what the next part of their story will be. Get your tissues ready because you’ll need them when you laugh and cry, and then read this book and the rest of the series, and then just make your way through everything Tess Thompson has written. You’ll be glad you did.… (mehr)
