Publisher's summary

Love finds you when you find yourself.

Summer Phillips is ready for a fresh start. When her Manhattan yoga studio fails, she heads back to her hometown. The Pines is an idyllic tourist destination in Vermont, but Summer longs for more in her life than small-town festivals and working for her dentist father. She’s welcomed with open arms, but soon discovers things have changed since she left.

Jake Moretti is recovering from the death of his close friend, who willed him everything he owned, including the hardware store. He’s lived there a year, but doesn’t quite feel like he fits in with the locals.

Summer begins to build her life back with the help of her friends and family. She takes over teaching yoga classes at the local rec center, which reignites her passion. Even though they’re each seeing different people, Jake becomes an attraction Summer can’t ignore, and she finds herself drawn to his warmth and charm.

When an old friend comes visiting with a once in a lifetime opportunity, Summer must make a choice about where she truly belongs in life. Does she follow her dreams in business or in love? Can she have it all, or will people get hurt along the way?

Peaceful Pines is the heartwarming first book in The Pines Series by an up-and-coming star in the genre, Crystal Harper.

cute heartwarming story

I enjoyed this story. Down and out city girl moves home. back to her childhood home. meets a local guy.
The heroine was weak in my opinion. She didnt want her H.S bf but couldn't tell him no. She floundered on her self pity way to much. woes is me. The move to Boston was a big deal but Author didnt show or give us her letting Trina down..
The narrators were amazing.

A Sweet Romance Worth Your Time

This story is a really sweet romance about two people finding themselves and each other along the way. The story is very well written and the characters nicely developed. There is some steam but it's kept clean. I enjoyed listening to this book from beginning to the end. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series, curious who it'll be about. The narration is spot on and Maxine Mitchell and Greg Tremblay helped to bring the story to life. Their character voices were excellent, the emotions felt real and they read at a nice pace. I would recommend this story to my romance friends. Definitely worth your time to listen to!

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I can totally see this book as a movie, a picturesque town, very small, tightly-knitted community, coffee shop moments, ... I did listen through Audible ...what great characters and it just made u all warm and cozy. If you have never taken a yoga class this will for sure make u want to. So calming. peaceful and serene. The stress is gone. great cover. I look forward to more from Crystal ... and newbie author to me ... must read. LOVED THIS listen/read. so awesome!! must listen if you so prefer. love, love, loved it!! ( ;

Sweet Story, Great Narration

This was my first Crystal Harper's book. This is the first book in The Pines Series. I loved this sweet love story. No angst, no cheating, no drama. Summer and Jake's story is perfect. The narration was well done. I enjoyed my listening. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily written this review.

Such a sweet listen

This was a simple and sweet boy meets girl love story. There were no real angsty moments (thank goodness!) and no mean girls waiting in the wings to make mischief. Just two people looking for that next thing and finding each other in the process. We got a glimpse of the Peaceful Pines inhabitants and all the special. This nearly six-hour book was an absolute treasure.

The duo narration ratcheted up the special as well. It made the different POV's that were the chapters just that more engrossing.

Book two is complete and I'm on my way back to Peaceful Pines.

A Sweet, Engaging Story

This book was engaging from the beginning. I felt instantly connected to Summer and her desires to figure out her life. While the storyline did feel a bit “romance cliche” at times, I still cared about the characters. The side characters were developed enough that I even found myself caring about them too. The narrators were both wonderful! I will definitely be continuing with this series now.

This book was given in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
