Moonlight and Belladonna: A Small Town Halloween Romance (Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Moonlight and Belladonna by Jae Dawson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An engaging and enjoyable read, this is a standalone story set in Hartwood Falls at Halloween. Belladonna Pagano has to put on a Halloween production of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ in order to wow the school board or loose her job at Hartwood High. Following her fiancé leaving her behind for his burgeoning music career she has sworn off men, especially rock stars. Meanwhile indie rock frontman Cade Owens, a chart topper with his band ‘Burning Umbrage’ returns to Hartwood Falls, a place which holds dark memories for him. A rash choice by Cade results in him doing community service with Belladonna and soon they are both risking not only their careers but their hearts. I loved the two main characters in this story as they were both very likeable and relatable. Dawson really made the characters and the setting come alive with her descriptive narrative and I felt fully immersed in Belladonna and Cade’s story.
