Big difference between being grumpy and being a rude asshole. Only redeeming part of this book were the emotionally mature side characters.

I haven’t yet found an Emma St. Clair novel I don’t like… her characters are just so relatable and lovable. James was the PERFECTLY, delectable grump and Winnie’s sunshine made her a great match for him. I loved their tension-filled romance, banter and drama! The small town setting couldn’t get any better and as always, the strong family bond between the Graham sibling and their dad is just another added layer that makes this story not only fun but authentic and down-to-earth. Loved it!!!
Long live O.C.!

James might be the most infuriating character I have ever read about, but his family is right up there, because how did they not realize how much help he needed?! The James/Winnie dynamic was great once you look past the fact that you want to strangle James most of the book

This took Grumpy / Sunshine to a whole new level for me! I've always loved this trope, but (especially in contemporaries) grumpy isn't always so grumpy. James had a whole gruff exterior that even when (kinda spoiler but come on, it's a romcom, so it's not THAT spoilery) he and Winnie get together, he still is all gruff and broody. It was simply wonderful! I loved them so much, and the way their personalities blended together made my heart melt! I absolutely adored these two!
