📙Brushed By You by MK Morris - out on Amazon and B&N!

When you’re a struggling artist who runs away to a small Tennessee town, rents your best friend’s holiday cabin, and ends up rooming with the grumpiest, sexiest farmhand who happens to have connections at the local art gallery🫢

Brushed By You is a fun, hilarious summer read full of passion, friendship, family, sacrifice, and a hint of mystery and danger. If you’ve read it, let me hear your thoughts. If not, what are you waiting for?!😉🌻

3/30 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone who loves immersing myself in small town romance novels, I found 'Brushed By You' to be a refreshing and heartfelt story that beautifully blends humor, love, and a touch of suspense. The dynamic between the struggling artist and the grumpy yet sexy farmhand really stood out to me—it's that classic roommates-to-lovers setup that feels both comfortable and exciting. The author’s vivid descriptions of the Tennessee setting made me feel like I was right there enjoying the slow summer days and scenic charm. One aspect I especially appreciated was the layers of friendship, family bonds, and personal sacrifice woven throughout the story, which gave the romance more depth. Additionally, the subtle hint of mystery kept me eagerly turning the pages, curious about what was coming next. If you enjoy stories where characters grow through their relationships while navigating real-life challenges, this book will definitely resonate with you. Plus, the connection to the local art gallery adds an artistic flair that makes the plot uniquely appealing. In my reading experience, such multifaceted romance novels are perfect for a sunny weekend or a cozy evening, offering both emotional warmth and engaging storytelling. For anyone looking for a fun, meaningful summer read, 'Brushed By You' is highly recommendable—it’s more than just romance, it’s about finding love and yourself in unexpected places.
