5 Stars

Nothing beats two great characters, who have had their fair share of hard knocks, hooking up and setting off fireworks leaving readers grabbing for champagne in celebration of Louise Bay's Mr. Smithfield!

Gabriel and Autumn circled each other in fascination and forbidden attraction causing them to blossom individually and as a couple in each other's company. Both characters came from dark histories but dealt with their scars differently. Gabriel resorted to being an overprotective father and reserved in his interactions, while Autumn over compensated with making sure everyone around her was happy even going as far as sacrificing her own happiness to achieve this goal.

With sensitive writing Ms. Bay connected two people who approached their lives differently and to most would appear to not be a good fit. This author stripped Gabriel and Autumn down to their vulnerability for an insightful connection and managed to find a way for this pair to not only help each other but complete each other. The energy in this relationship was unmistakable and kept this story not only interesting but sparking with its heated interactions. Unexpected swoony attributes, that defied filters, made for some great steamy moments between this couple. A charming secondary cast added a great foundation to this work.

Louise Bay knows her way around difficult choices and unexpected love as she adeptly shakes up hearts and status quos. This author crafts their works with compassion, humor and big heaps of conflicts for addictive reading experiences. Louise Bay's affinity for conjuring depth filled portrayals shined through in Mr. Smithfield illuminating the pages for a great read that should not be passed by!
