Minus a full star for the author’s weird insistence on not using leading pronouns in dialogue. E.g., “Need you to tell me” instead of “I need you to tell me.” The fact that it was so common that it felt unnatural was enough to get me annoyed. 
And minus half a star for
unplanned last page pregnancy 🙄🙄🙄

3.5 out of 5 stars

CW: stalking, violence, kidnapping

This is a binge-able series. I like Caden and Grae a lot. I like how supportive of each other they are. The suspense was good. There is no third-act breakup. The communication between Caden and Grae is great to read.

This one was really cute, a little bit similar to the other ones but otherwise good. If you don't like alot of smut in your books then you would probably enjoy this series.

Caden is my brother's best friend but he distanced himself after my incident. I considered him a best friend but he moved on with his life and made a reputation of himself. But he is back in town working at his family's hotel resort The Peaks. After a run-in with an ex Caden agrees to fake date as it will benefit us both in the long run. But I have a target on my back but who is responsible for it? 

When I say the women in this small town have bad juju I mean it! This is the third book in the series and this small town doesn’t feel safe at all unless you're saved by a good-looking man. 😂
This was a great read and listen. I loved the banter and protective nature this family has around Grae. Caden is such a kind loyal soul and he would do anything for his family even though it’s crumbling in front of him. I loved how strong she Grae was for someone diagnosed with type one diabetes. Yes, she has to be careful but it didn’t define her. Grae and Caden always knew how to open each other up and it was so healing but intimate. 

I will say I did not see the second plot twist coming at all. I will say I struggle with relationship stages and this had a few in it by the end and it felt rushed. The audiobook was fantastic and made it a joy to read along!
