In this competition, it’s not just the house on the line, it’s their hearts.
She has the touch when it comes to food, but PJ McKinley’s dream of opening her own restaurant is one building short of reality. So when a Chapel Springs resident offers her beloved ancestral home as prize to the applicant with the best plan for the house, PJ believes she was meant to win.
Contractor Cole Evans is confident, professional, and swoon-worthy—but this former foster kid knows his life could have turned out very differently. When Cole discovers the contest, he believes his home for foster kids in transition has found its saving grace. All he has to do is convince the owner that a not-for-profit enterprise will be good for the community.
When the eccentric philanthropist weighs the proposals, she proposes an outlandish tie-breaker: PJ and Cole will share the house for a year to see which idea works best. Now, with Cole and the foster kids upstairs and PJ and the restaurant below, day-to-day life has turned into an out-and-out rivalry—with some seriously flirtatious hallway encounters on the side. But could their magnetic attraction cost them everything they’ve ever wanted?

Summary
Overall The Wishing Season is an inspirational contemporary romance with real characters. This is not a fairy tale romance. PJ McKinley is trying to prove to herself and her family that she can be successful and make good decisions. She is trying to win a contest by opening up her own restaurant. Cole is also competing. His cause appears to be nobler. Having been raised in a foster system after his parents died, he wants to open a house for kids aging out of the foster systems. I adored the scene where they first meet. You empathize with PJ and her family’s involvement. The author reveals PJ and Cole’s issues from the past. Although the book is part of a series, it canbe read alone.
Violence one punch is thrown. I didn't consider it violence.
