Secrets of Sunbeams: A Christian Romance (Urban Farm Fresh Romance Book 1)

Overall Content Rating: Parental Guidance PG
This is a faith-centered contemporary story about two adults navigating grief, community, and a growing relationship while trying to live out a biblical view of love. Sustainable living and everyday small-town life matter as much as the romance. For content-minded parents: strong language and explicit material are largely absent. Expect mild teasing insults, brief non-graphic descriptions of minor injuries, and romantic kissing without sexual scenes. Prayer, worship, and scripture-informed choices are woven through the plot rather than treated as background decoration.

Specific words
- stupid: 4
- idiot: 1
Violence Mild
4Violence is not a focus and is not treated as entertainment. A few moments show minor cuts and scrapes with some bleeding after an outdoor mishap and a small self-inflicted mouth injury from stress; other mentions of blood are figures of speech or worship lyrics.

Specific words
- blood: 3
- smash: 1
Sex Mild
A central romance stays physically restrained: the couple kiss and deliberately limit time alone to avoid temptation. Sexual behavior beyond kissing is not shown or glorified; the story frames love in explicitly Christian terms.
About this book
She’s lost her parents and sisters, and no one is going to threaten what she has left: her goat. He’s ready to save the world; if only his neighbor and her goat wouldn’t intrude on his time and space. Can urban farming and romance shine on the same city block? Eden Andrusek knows she should have fixed her fence last week. It's too bad her runaway goat makes a less-than-ideal first impression on her new neighbor, who turns out to be cute, brilliant… and a little uptight. Solar architect Jacob Riehl is furious when he returns outside to find a goat eating his presentation. As someone who likes everything in its place, he has little sympathy for a farm animal in the city or its tattooed owner, but there's something about the lovely Eden that captures his attention. What will it take to win over a man whose only pet was a goldfish? And how long can Jacob and Eden go without addressing the goat in the room? "Exactly what I needed, bringing sunlight to my mood through far more than just the title." "Parts of this book are laugh out loud funny… parts are sentimental and very touching."
