Thanks so much to Sarina Bowen for answering some questions we were curious about and sharing them with us here on Book Binge. She’s here on the blog talking about her new release, Bittersweet.
Bittersweet by Sarina Bowen
True North #1
Releases on June 14, 2016 by Rennie Road Books
The new series is set in Vermont. True North is populated by the tough, outdoorsy mountain men that populate the Green Mountain State. They raise cows and they grow apples. They chop a lot of wood, especially when they need to blow off steam. (Beards are optional but encouraged.)
If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the orchard.
The last person Griffin Shipley expects to find stuck in a ditch on his Vermont country road is his ex-hookup. Five years ago they’d shared a couple of steamy nights together. But that was a lifetime ago.
At twenty-seven, Griff is now the accidental patriarch of his family farm. Even his enormous shoulders feel the strain of supporting his mother, three siblings and a dotty grandfather. He doesn’t have time for the sorority girl who’s shown up expecting to buy his harvest at half price.
Vermont was never in Audrey Kidder’s travel plans. Neither was Griff Shipley. But she needs a second chance with the restaurant conglomerate employing her. Okay—a fifth chance. And no self-righteous lumbersexual farmer will stand in her way.
They’re adversaries. They want entirely different things from life. Too bad their sexual chemistry is as hot as Audrey’s top secret enchilada sauce, and then some.
Order the Book:
Book Binge: Tell us about your inspiration for this series.
Sarina Bowen: I always knew I’d write another book about Vermont, because it’s just such a cool place in the world. It’s rugged and sexy in a way that’s different from my hockey books.
Book Binge: If you had to choose a song for Audrey and Griff, what would it be?
Sarina Bowen: Rock & Roll by Eric Hutchinson.
Book Binge: Tell us about Griff. What was your favorite part about his character?
Sarina Bowen: I love the contrast between his crusty exterior and his soft heart.
Book Binge: What about Audrey? What was your favorite part about her character?
Sarina Bowen: Even though people have told her she’s incompetent her whole life, she never really believed them. And she persevered.
Book Binge: Do you have a particular scene that was your favorite in Bittersweet? A scene that you’re excited for readers to experience themselves?

Book Binge: What are your favorite things to do when you’re not writing?
Sarina Bowen: I discovered yoga this year, and it’s been great. (I know, I’m the last one on the planet to try yoga. It’s not quite cutting edge.)
Book Binge: What are you reading and loving right now?
Sarina Bowen: Unraveling Josh by Edie Danford.
Book Binge: What are you working on right now? What can readers look forward to in the coming months (and next year) from you?
