3.88 AVERAGE


3.5 stars!
This was cute! I liked Beau A LOT, but Payne was a little one dimensional to me. I don't really know what Beau saw in him other than him being hot and nice? All of that aside, Saxon books always feel like a blanket to me. They are always comforting and good, some more than others, but I never regret reading one. The audios are perfect for my work days and I'm looking forward to continuing the series. The one thing I LOVE about this series already is having mature MC's. It's really just nice to read about real adults sometimes.

Some good stuff in here primarily the handling of Beau’s “differences” as though not states seem somewhere on the Autism/ADHD spectrum. 

Cringey stuff:
  • Younger brother’s best friend has been pining over you for 20 years. 
  • Lots of “I know he is committed cuz he was pining that long”
  • Not moving on or saying “I’ve been waiting for him” when “him” is the married man who lives out of town. 

It’s always cute cuz they end up together but if you squint and tilt your head you’d go “ewwww”. 
emotional funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced

DNF. I could t finish this book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Good, but it didn't really catch my attention
Alsl didn't liked that Beau was pinning for Payne for the last 20 years ¿?

Ah this was a cute read. I enjoyed also reading about an older group, I loved the little group they had. Beau was THE CUTEST, like all his little things he thought made him weird and how Payne made him realise it wasn’t
