| Vino & Veritas Book 1 |
When a bookworm on borrowed time meets a younger, free-spirited chicken farmer, sparks and feathers fly…
Harrison Phillip Fletcher III isn’t supposed to be here. Not in Burlington, Vermont, not running Vino & Veritas, a quaint inclusive bookstore and wine bar, and definitely not still alive at forty-two. Also not supposed to be here? An unexpected delivery of chickens.
Finn Barnes knows chickens. The burly organic farmer knows all about rare breed poultry, but dealing with a hot, older bookseller is an entirely different matter. City slicker types like Harrison never end up staying in Vermont for the long-term.
They should steer clear of each other. But the flare of attraction is mutual. And somehow, amid book discussions and farm tours, they discover plenty in common. Now they’re stealing kisses in Finn’s barn, sneaking out like teens, and burning up the sheets.
What starts as a fling brings very real feelings for two lonely souls, but a future together seems as unlikely as chickens in a bookstore. Feathers may be flying, but learning to trust takes time neither may have. Can they take a leap of faith together before it’s too late?
Featherbed is a stand-alone novel in Sarina Bowen’s True North world. This opposites attract, age gap romance features a low-angst, fluffy—and feathery—romp as a fish out of water discovers the home he never thought he’d find.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Featherbed kicks off another series in the World of True North: Vino & Veritas. When Harrison Fletcher moves to Vermont with his mother they decide to open Vino & Veritas, the bookstore and wine bar. What he doesn't expect as he gets his business started is for a a delivery of chickens to show up at the bookstore. A mixed up address leads Harrison to meet Finn Barnes, the farmer who Harrison can't help but notice and be attracted to. And lucky for Harrison, the feeling is mutual. But Harrison knows he is a bad bet when it comes to a relationship. First off, his father and grandfather both died at the age of 42...the same age Harrison currently is. He believes it is only a matter of time before something happens to him. Why would he risk a relationship when there is a part of him that can't help but worry and wonder if he might not be able to stick around? He rather protect those he loves than cause them more pain. As for Finn, the demand of running a farm usually has potential partners running from his way too busy schedule and life. No wonder seems to understand the work he does demands. Plus, the last city guy he fell for, left the second a new opportunity came around. He isn't ready to take another risk. This leads to a perfect set up for Harrison and Finn. A relationship with no expectations. Too bad, the more time they spend together, the more they realize that keeping emotions out of it is a no go. But can both of them move past their fears and take a chance on one another? Or will they let their fears keep them apart? I loved Harrison and Finn's story! Both were such great characters and complete opposites. But together, they were great for one another. This was a great way to kick off the series and I cannot wait for more!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
