I really enjoyed this small-town contemporary romance from Lucy Score.
Maggie and Silas were just wonderful together; Silas in particular hits that sweet spot where a male main character's clearly professed instant attraction to the female main character is charming and hot rather than stalkery and gross (which, to the credit of Score, can be really hard to do!). I've found Score's romances to be hit-or-miss in the past, but this one was almost instantly a new favourite for me. Plus, I actually laughed out loud a number of times while reading this book, which is always fun!

Absolutely adorable story about a workaholic home renovator/flipper who works with her ex-husband, and the unlikely landscaper who catches her attention. This gives all the feels that you would want in a great rom-com. Relatable characters, witty, fun, sexy, and great LOL moments. Loved the audiobook version, as the narrator is amazing!! Definitely recommend!

Honestly this book had some really cute moments. However I found myself frustrated with Silas. He cane around in the end but he steamrolled over Maggie constantly. He basically proclaimed her as his and got mad every time she kept a secret. He acted entitled to her past and the painful things she experienced and got mad she didn’t tell him despite her telling him constantly she wanted this to be casual.
