No, I'm sorry, but if the entire premise of your plot sits on the flimsiest of flimsy back stories, I cannot forgive you.
Extremely wealthy woman in small town decides to abandon the newly orphaned 13 year old grandson who adores her for no actual good reason and cuts off all contact, leaving him to an unknown fate in the foster system and then 15 years later dies and everyone keeps telling said grandson how wonderful she was.
No thanks.

Five Fabulous Stars!
I loved Maverick and Beau and this sort of friends to lovers/second change romance! I loved how there was no big break up scene, just a couple of bumps that would happen in a real relationship and then move on. I was sad to see a Marian leave California but it seemed Rabbit Island was the perfect place to settle for the two of them. Another fabulous story in this series!

Previous reviews have mostly indicated the issues I had with this book. Maverick deserved better than Beau and the utter nonsense of the small-town inhabitants of Rabbit Island. And don't even get me started on Mimi and her BS reasons for abandoning her only living relative to the foster system on the other side of the country.

3-3.5 stars
Pretty good, went in with low expectations and it was better than I thought.
I do wish for less sexy times and more conversation…but that’s a theme for this series haha
Beau and Maverick were cute together, I do think that them having that crazy lust filled reunion after 15 years of no talking isn’t as believable as Lucy Lennox was thinking but I let it go hah gotta suspend reality in her books!
I am excited to see Dante’s book he’s always been on the outskirts of this family but he’s always intrigued me.

More like 4.5 stars, but I’ll round up for the family shit and sweet tea vodka.
This was cute enough, and thankfully, the crazy old ladies weren't around as much in this one. However, I had major issues with poor Maverick's history. His parents were killed in a car crash when he was 13, and although terribly wealthy, and they seemed to be close, and she's often referred to as "a saint" by the townspeople, Mav's grandmother not only didn't choose to raise him herself, she gave no explanations, and never contacted him again! She left a poor, orphaned teenager alone, to be raised by foster parents. We did finally find out why, near the end of the story, but I found her reasoning to be utter bullshit.
I also hated the way the townspeople seemed to react to Maverick when he came home to settle her estate. They acted almost like he'd left her, not the other way around, and like he owed them something. Or like he was a gold digger, just there to get his claws into her estate. It just pissed me off.
I did like Maverick and Beau, but I thought they jumped into sex WAY too fast. There was no UST at all. They meet for the first time as adults, after being best friends as kids, and are already getting off together the next day. What follows, for me anyway, was too much sex and not enough getting to know each other as adults. Fifteen years have gone by, neither has any idea about the men they have become, but that doesn't seem to matter.
It just didn't really work for me, so I'm rating this 2.5 stars, bumped up, although it could really have gone either way for me.
