Enjoyed this a lot. Not that deep but also not too long. Just right. Looking forward to reading the others.

lighthearted

My usual rating system doesn’t apply to novellas so I’ll not provide stars and simply say it’s a cute, lightweight little romp. If you’re looking for deep plot or character development you’ll not find it here; this is an amusing, sweet interlude and nothing more.

This was a fun and cute, if silly, romance.

This was cute! A super short novella that I think would have made a good full length book so we could have seen more character development, particularly for Margo. But the audio was short and fun, and overall was an enjoyable and spicy read. 

**Spoilers below**

POV: dual third person

You can expect: brother’s best friend, he falls first, road trip, caretaking, opposites attract, solicitor MMC, virgin MMC, only one bed, only one horse.

Spice: 2/5

For such a short page count I got pretty invested in these characters! I did feel a bit like I got dumped into the middle of a story, but the context came through and I found myself enjoying the ride. I actually started this book on my phone while waiting in line for a ride at Six Flags. This is quite a spicy book. I normally get a little annoyed at characters who are too horny to function, but it was done well here.
