This was a cute, quick read if you are looking for sweet, small town romance vibes. It felt very insta-love to me. Everything just seemed to go so smoothly and I like more tension/angst in my romances, especially when the couple seems to fall too fast.

If you like Aurora Rose Reynolds’s other books you’ll like this one too. You’ve got your bossy, protective H and an h who is sweet and feisty but ultimately doesn’t put up much of a resistance. Fairly low angst with a smidge of suspense. One could try to say all her books are the same but I disagree. Her books tend to share a lot of the same elements but the stories are all very different. It’s those tried and true, safe and reliable elements ARR’s readers depend on and love wholeheartedly.
The h’s fiancée leaves insanely close to their wedding. She’s stuck going on this outdoor retreat for couples that the ex asked her to book. She meets H there, he’s guiding the trip and she’s missing a partner so does all the couples activities with her.
There’s a jealous OW on the trip who eventually gets over herself and focuses on her relationship. There’s a plot involving poachers that puts h in danger. The h’s ex doesn’t try to win her back but he is suspicious of her new relationship. He’d been cheating on her so eff him. All her family and friends are wary of her relationship but H wins then over.
Cover 4/5 (love the aesthetic)
Story 4/5
Heat 1.5/5
Angst 2/5
Slowish burn, there’s a bit of making out and touching earlier but they finally get busy around 65%.
No virgins
No manwhore
Tiny OW drama
Slight OM drama
Some light push away from h
1 month separation but not due to breaking up
No cheating between H/h
Surprise baby
No scenes with other people.
Safety - I’d call this safe, OW drama is the jealous woman on trip. H is uninterested. OM drama is h’s ex but he isn’t trying to win h back just concerned about H.

I absolutely love Aurora Rose Reynolds books. She never fails to disappoint.
This is the first book in her Adventures in Love series. Can't wait for the following books to see how the other characters stories work out.
