Book One in The Maple Leaf Series
Lily Hinsdale spends her California days designing extravagant hotels for Utopia Resorts. Her nights are filled with the glitz and glamour of upscale parties. Until her grandmother dies and leaves Lily property in wretched Vermont. The woods mean only one thing to Lily—nightmares. When Utopia wants the land for development, Lily is forced to travel to a place … a place she’d rather forget.
Rick Stannard makes maple syrup and builds barns in the peace and quiet of picturesque Vermont. Noisy New York City nearly killed him a few years back, and now he lives a calm, simple life with his coyote, Poe, and his beloved book collection. It’s the only way he’s guaranteed to wake up each morning.
When Lily marches her expensive boots onto Rick’s land and proposes turning it into a mega resort, the serenity of the woods is shattered. Lily always closes a deal. Rick never intends to sell. They’ll need to compromise, or someone else will do it for them. Someone who is not afraid of the woods or the city.
Or spilling a little blood.

Not very good
Good romance and great start for a series. Loved the setting.
Thought the main character could have been more understanding and less self-centered.
Be prepared to crave Maple syrup.
Nice read to relax, no horror, no real sex, just nice boy meets girl
For once there wasn’t a lot of sex scenes. The story could have been almost real. Loved the story about her Grandma and about the family the guy shared as his family.
This was one of those interesting stiries that taught me about the area they lived in along with having a different storyline. It had just enough steam and kept me captivated! Love maple syrup and a story revolved around it!
Only worth two stars – very predictable in every, the guy was gonna get the girl YUK>
Just so so. Nothing unique about this story
Really enjoy these characters! Couldn’t wait to get to the next book!
Really liked the characters and setting. Good twists and turns throughout the book and some of the crazy things the characters said had me laughing. A lot of fun!
After reading this book I had to finish the series.
It gave the characters very real and understandable emotions about their fears and how lots of people let them control them
Loved this book!!!!
