Characters:

Started off great! I really liked the premise and enjoyed the slow break down of Griffin as he fell for Blair. The first couple of nights of their tryst was great reading but for one reason or another the second half lost me and I found myself just looking forward to the end.

Loved this so much! The banter was perfect, the side characters were amazing. Can't wait to read the rest.
My only gripe was that I wanted more grovelling 😅

HOLY CRAP IS MELANIE HARLOW ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ROMANCE AUTHORS?

This is such an adorable read. Absolutely adored the storyline and characters. A must-read, wish it had more steam but the steam we got was *chefs kiss amazing. I loved that we met our Sawyer sisters, I loved Frannie (from Cloverleigh Farms), so it was a delight to see her again!
Oh, also, fuck the Mav's!

3.5. ⭐️

A flat tire changes her life for the better. Griff doesn't fall in love and doesn't change his mind but that was until a strong willed women came into his life and change it for good. Blair is trying to start over and is an amazing cook/baker that wants to open her own bakery one day. She turned into a little town for it's pie- that changed her life. This is such a cute story with baked goods, kitten, steam, and baseball.

Melanie Harlow is the queen of contemporary romance with some steam! I loved her Coverleigh Farm series and this is just the start another great one- I can already tell! We get a little bit of it (Frankie) this also!

Overall, 4.5 stars and 4 steam

Thanks to the PR firm and author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Love This Couple

Blair is too adorable in her dress and tiara. But when she falls into Griffin’s arms, I knew this was going to be a wonderful romantic ride. The comedic scenes between Griffin and his family had me laughing so much. And the small town people who knew everyone’s business was hilarious as well.

When I say I love a grump, I DON'T mean toxic assholes with no emotional IQ like Griffin. Their relationship was so insta love and Griffin made Blair feel like shit so many times. And with barely any groveling!! The spice was also a little cringe and ick because Griffin would use sex to avoid communicating whenever Blair wanted to express her feelings. And don't get me started on the bedtime stories and the captured princess kink
funny inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

 This was such a fun and lighthearted small town romance. I loved the main characters and how different yet perfect they were from each other, and the side characters of the story gave it a lot of depth and warmth. The meet cute was so fun, and I will without a doubt continue reading this series.
