Some books just give off warm fuzzy vibes, and Where You’re Planted by Melanie Sweeney is one of those for me.
Tansy and Jack get off on a bit of a wrong foot (granted, they do meet in quite a stressful situation), but if they want to save their dream careers they will have to work together. She is a librarian and he runs the Houston Botanic Gardens, and after a recent hurricane, they’re temporarily housing the library until they can raise the funds for a new building.
There is so much I could rave about with this one. The two leads are so well suited to one another! They both have huge hearts and neither are afraid of a little hard work. Tansy has an independence complex (like me) that makes it impossible to ask for help, but with Jack, she realizes that it’s okay to accept some every once in awhile, even if you could figure it out on your own eventually.
It’s about family, and support, and passion, and sticking together in a crisis. It’s about trust and figuring it out as you go. It’s also romantic as heck.
Five shining stars from me!
