Rating: 5/5 stars

Eloise Eden only wants her hotel…but when she drunkenly marries Jasper Vale in Vegas, she fears that her irresponsibility has put her future plans at risk.

Loved loved loved loved loved this. Jasper Vale is a human fire emoji and I’m obsessed. From the first chapter, I loved how he saw and appreciated Eloise and would go above and beyond to keep her happy and safe. And all the “my wife” lines? Perfection. Eloise is also fantastic and easily my favorite of the Eden sisters. Her heart, her capacity for love, and her bravery are just so wonderful and I was so happy to see her evolve through this story arc (and really through the entire series so far).

There was a particular plot element that bugged me a little for personal reasons and almost made this 4.5 stars, but in the end it made me cry, and y’all know the rule. If you’re keeping score, my current series rating is JUNIPER HILL > JASPER VALE > INDIGO RIDGE > CHRISTMAS IN QUINCY (novella) > GARNET FLATS.

Jasper and Eloise are definitely contenders for my favorite Eden couple! Their banter and genuine respect for one another is so sweet! I thought the book was so well done and I can't wait to read glimpses of them in the last two books. My one issue was the unnecessary weird relationship with the ex. He definitely only needed the parents for the plot line to work.

Okay I enjoyed it a lot, I love Eloise and Jasper both. I was a little thrown with the whole ex wife stuff for Jasper and how open relationships were portrayed a bit and why Jasper really would have a relationship with her after all of that to go to a wedding. It was just not 100% believable. 

I also wish we had a bit more build to their relationship that we saw.
