Love can take root where you least expect it. Tyson Yang never imagined that one day he’d be the de facto spokesperson for an illegal community garden. But when the once-rat-infested-but-now-thriving Harlem lot goes up for sale, Ty can’t just let all their hard work get plowed under. Even if he is irresistibly drawn to the lovely but infuriatingly stubborn real estate associate. Magda Ferrer’s family is already convinced this new job will be yet another flop in her small but growing list of career path failures. But her student debt isn’t going anywhere, and selling her uncle’s historic town house and the lot nearby means a chance to get some breathing room. Ty is her charming rival, her incorrigible nemesis, the handsome roadblock to her success. Until one hot Harlem night blurs the hard line drawn between them, and the seeds of possibility in this rocky garden blossom into love… This book is approximately 48,000 words One-click with confidence. This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise: all the romance you’re looking for with an HEA/HFN. It’s a promise!

(Disclosure: the author is a friend.) The only thing wrong with this book is that it's too short - I wanted more! This was a sweet story about moving on from the mistakes of the past, dealing with long-term grief (no on-page deaths, if that's an issue for anyone), and Manhattan real estate. Plus dumplings and ice cream, both of which I am now craving. I wanted a little more of the MC's families, especially Ty's sister, and the eventual resolution to the main conflict over the garden is a little overly convenient, but those are minor nitpicks in an otherwise delightful book.
(2020 summer romance bingo: ice cream, would also work for “set on island” or “meddling matchmakers,” I think.)
