She’s in the happily-ever-after business

But he’s never been interested in fairy-tale endings

Divorced single mom Andie Carter is parenting nine-year-old twins, launching a fairy tale–themed children’s birthday party center, and fighting lingering feelings for high school friend Knox Walker.

The charming stable manager has eschewed romantic entanglements in favor of party-boy ways. But when Andie’s venue needs repairs, he volunteers his ranch for her events—and a few unexpected kisses, too!

Knox doesn’t trust easily, but Andie and her kids are breaking through his guard. Will he come to terms with his fears to be the Prince Charming that Andie and her kids yearn for?

My Rating:  4.5 stars

Her Fairy-Tale Farmer begins the Sugar Maple Farms series with Andie’s and Knox’s charming friends-to-lovers romance.

Andie and Knox have been friends since childhood. As they grew, there might have been some sparks between them, yet neither acted on those whispers of attraction. Now, Andie is a divorced parent of twins, has a unique fairy-tale themed business, and is building her new life. When a semi-disaster strikes, Knox steps in with a temporary solution that will lead to something far more… a future that he didn’t see coming, but he has to make a few adjustments before their fairy-tale ending can become reality.

I completely fell in love with Her Fairy-Tale Farmer by Elle Douglas. Andie is strong, more than a bit stubborn. Knox is slowly learning to trust, to let Andie into his life as more than friends. Together, they simply fit and enhance each other in such sweet ways. Their story is believable, even somewhat relatable for some folks. Of course, there is world-building as this is the first story in the new series, but new people were easily introduced in a way that made me look forward to discovering their stories in future books. In all, I had a great time in this world, and if you love a well-written, emotional, funny romance with a couple that really do fit so well together, then you’d love Her Fairy-Tale Farmer by Elle Douglas.
