Autumn and Ember Somerset inherited their grandparents’ farm and transformed it not only into a home for themselves but also as a rescue for farm animals. Turkeys, cows, goats and pigs find themselves happy here. Can Autumn and Ember find theirs?

Foster shares two very different sisters, pigeonholed by their mother and the baggage that they carry.

Autumn loves her romance novels, but after her fiancé jilted her, she hasn’t thought about marriage or love. That all changes when Tash Ducker, the man she crushed on as a teenager moves back to town and Ember sets him up as a client for Autumn’s design business.

Ember has suffered tragedy, but carries a no-worries persona like armor. However, Mike, the ranch hand who lives on premise and helps with their rescue get’s under her skin and makes her snarky. The outcome is delicious!

An adorable child, parents and an ex added to the story. The main romance belonged to Amber, and it delivered a slow-burn with plenty of swoons, laughter and heartfelt moments. The second romance surrounding Ember was equally entertaining, sizzling and delicious.

I loved the interactions with the animals and family members. I appreciated the matchmaking shenanigans and even laughed out loud. Foster had me grinning. I longed to wade in the cool lake waters and dreamed of living on a farm. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer

*I received a free copy of The Somerset Girls. This has in no way influenced my review which is honest and unbiased.*

I truly enjoyed getting to know Autumn and Ember - and while I'm usually a little indifferent to stories that follow two couples, it worked really well here!
I got the sisters and how supportive they were towards each other, and I loved both that and them. The romance was also very well done, and I got enough time with each of the couples, so I didn't feel like one of them was left out.
Foster always manages to write characters that are well fleshed out, and I felt like they were all completely tangible here - even side characters had enough characteristics to be realistic, and there were no flat ones that were just there decorating the background.
If you're looking for a story with strong relationships, well rounded characters, and a beautiful arc, The Somerset Girls is for you!
