I really wanted to like this book, but it just wasn't for me.

I skimmed through most of the spicy scenes bc they were cringe. I just couldn't get into the story line. The entire time I really thought Larke and Amie were gonna be related in some sort, I was waiting for this, but then nothing happened.

And the entire "influencer" drama, was so cringe. I just couldn't.

“The man standing in front of me was, well . . . a brood.”

Another fabulous trip to Calamity, Montana! I loved getting to know Wilder Abbott and Iris Monroe. Wilder is a high school science teacher living in Calamity dedicated to keeping to himself. As a widower he is determined to not create and ties and just live his life. Iris is a social media influencer who lives her life in 2 month increments, finding a new location every 2 months and Calamity is her next stop.

Iris’s brother is friends with Wilder from college so when Iris needs a place to stay he offers Wilder’s place. Wilder and Iris were certainly opposites but the opposites that fit perfectly.

I loved seeing their relationship develop from merely coexisting to becoming each other’s everything. Wilder gave Iris a home for the first time and Iris gave Wilder a reason to come out of his self isolation.

Mid 3 stars rounded up because my averages suck right now.

This was sweet, but didn’t have much plot -it was them being horny and resisting each other and then them being horny and banging each other- and the dead-wife trope was extremely heavy

”you are more than I could have ever dreamed of.” ♡₊˚

this wasn’t bad, just not my favorite from the series or the author. i felt like wilder didn’t really have any likable qualities, and iris was a pretty bland character despite how much she tried standing out with her wardrobe and whatnot. i also just didn’t care for their relationship. it felt very repetitive of every other relationship devney perry has written
emotional lighthearted
Loveable characters: Yes

Wilder is the grumpiest of grumps. Some may say a brood. I love Iris. She's sunshine, but even sunshine has its dark days and needs support. I love them together. I love how he supports her through everything.
