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?

Summary
Harvest Moon by Denise Hunter is the final book in the Riverbend Gap series and boy does she tug at your heartstrings.
This is Gavin’s story. I enjoyed how we got to follow their story regarding when they met and fell in love during high school and college in parallel to their current predicament. It is so easy to watch from the sidelines and just wish they would have talked it out.
I read the entire book in a day. It just captured my heart and I couldn’t wait to see how Denise would solve the logistics of it all to work out. Well done. Recommend even if you have not read the series.
sexual content - kissing and chemistry.
Triggers - losing a best friend, abandonment,
