True North Series Book 4: Bountiful by Sarina Bowen

True North Book 4

No last names. No life stories. Those were the rules. Now a USA Today bestseller!

Once upon a time a cocky, copper-haired tourist sauntered into Zara’s bar. And even though she knew better, Zara indulged in a cure for the small-town blues. It was supposed to be an uncomplicated fling—a few sizzling weeks before he went back to his life, and she moved on.

Until an accidental pregnancy changed her life.

Two years later, she’s made peace with the notion that Dave From Brooklyn will never be found. Until one summer day when he walks into her coffee shop, leveling her with the same hot smile that always renders her defenseless.

Hockey star Dave Beringer has never forgotten the intense month he spent with prickly Zara. Their nights together were the first true intimacy he’d ever experienced. But the discovery of his child is the shock of a lifetime, and his ugly past puts relationships and family out of reach.

Or does it? Vermont’s countryside has a way of nurturing even tortured souls. The fields and the orchards—and hard won love—are Bountiful.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

When you read the Brooklyn Bruisers series, you want Dave's story. When you read the True North series, you want Zara's. So I'm happy to say that Bountiful gets to satisfy that need and it was a great one! Been waiting to read this one since Brooklyn Bruisers, but I wanted to make sure I read the previous True North books first. Loved this story! Once upon a time a bartender and a hockey player had some multiple one night stands. They kept it casual knowing that it couldn't really bloom into a relationship, but little did they know their affair would have some consequences. Two years later, Zara has a little girl who is a little over a year old and with her father's red, fiery hair. Dave returns to Vermont for another summer vacation. Glad to be back in a place he came to love and to hopefully Zara again. Though he gets quite the shocker to find out he is a father. As Zara and Dave try to find their footing with being in one another's lives and having a child together, things get complicated when feelings return. Loved their story so much. It was great to see their happily ever after. And of course the bringing together of lots of characters I loved between the two series. So glad that these two series exist in the same world. This was a great addition to both series!
