I loved James and Winnie! I wish James would have used his words a little more, but I felt the way his anxiety was presented was authentic—I mostly just wanted to give him a big ol’ hug that he would probably hate, lol! Winnie’s gumption was a fantastic complement to his gruffness and I totally ate up their banter!
Moderate: Death of parent, Infidelity, and Panic attacks/disorders

I really wanted to give the male lead a hug and he saved this book for me. This was a twist on the grumpy-sunshine trope but the grumpy was done really well (the sunshine less so - I found her quite irritating). The male lead was complex and had very solid reasons for being the way he was - he wasn’t a grump just because. I found his story fascinating even without the romance.
