Abby Jimenez is very good at writing about tough topics. I loved this book, I think it's my favorite of hers so far. I liked how the female was the figurative "breadwinner" meeting the small town guy, but it in no way diminished the skills and life the mmc had. I know they had their difficulties in figuring out where they fit in each other's lives but I think it was done in a low angst way. Like there wasn't this huge miscommunication going on which I personally appreciated. But there was this deep longing for each other that they were both willing to adjust to the others world just to be with them. I just loved it. I love how it displayed different forms of abuse and ways to get out of those situations and highlighting the importance of therapy. I just loved everything about this book.

I've finally realized what makes a romance a good book for me.  It's when the book deals with issues outside the quest for the "right guy." This book does that by dealing with the protagonist's lifetime of emotional abuse, her recovery from it, and ultimately figuring out what she wants her life to look like.  
Throw in a touch of magic and plenty of humor, and I'm a fan.  And I learned how a male should properly take a picture of a "special" area in a laugh-out-loud scene!

My first read of Jimenez. It was wholesome, funny, emotional, realistic, and a little spicy. Liked the characters. Liked that it included emotional abuse, for readers to learn more about since I feel it's a topic that's misunderstood. A couple parts were more emotional than I planned for. Great romance read.

I wasn’t impressed. I liked the idea of the whole thing, but Daniel’s inability to take no for no was pissing me off. Alexis set boundaries multiple times, and he agreed every time with no intention of ever following them. I really didn’t like that. Even when she made a decision that she felt was best for herself, he thought he knew what was best for her. Idk. I didn’t like him very much in the second half of the book.
