Freshly graduated from college, August Percy is ready to start her career… but first, she has to return to the town she never wanted to step foot in again… Hope Crest, Pennsylvania.

Evan Ashton once left Hope Crest to explore the culinary world on his own terms, but nowadays he creates masterpieces in his family-run pizzeria. His dreams took him far away from home, but now with the return of August… he may finally be ready for everything he never knew he wanted…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hearty was a sweet and sexy, unrequited love story! August and Evan never connected before she left Hope Crest, much to the despair of her completely infatuated, Auggie. But now she’s back, these two have become temporary roommates, and Evan has finally noticed the strong and irresistible woman that August has become…

August owes everything good in her life to the Ashton family. And while she had the biggest crush on Evan growing up, he never gave her the time of day. With her return, all these years later, Evan may finally be noticing her… but will Auggie ever be ready to show him her true feelings?

Evan only has eyes for his kitchen on most days. With his passion for creating the most amazing food, he rarely has time for relationships. But then August returns, and changes everything he thought he knew about not only her relationship with his family, but his own shortcomings…

This book was an engaging read about some very complicated characters and the family dynamics that have shaped them. I really enjoyed the slow burn romance between August and Evan, and the way that he falls for her all on his own.

Hearty was another fantastic read in the Ashton Family series, and I really loved seeing updates on how the previous members of the Ashton family are growing in their own lives, while getting a fresh story with the two youngest members of the family…

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.
