3.5 ⭐s. I really liked this! I loved Katrina in The Right Swipe, and I was excited to read her romance. I'm happy that I can add Alisha Rai to my small collection of body positive romance writers. Jas was such an adorable hero, and I loved his backstory and characterization. The whole secluded farmhouse with your bodyguard trope was 😍😍😍😍. Especially when Doodle arrived on the scene??? And Jas' family was precious. The peach jokes 😂😂😂. I also loved how realistic their sex scene was. 10/10 for first time in a long time realness.

Enjoyable low-stakes romance.  The plot and romance are honestly secondary to the psychological issues that the heroine and hero are dealing with, and that's okay.  I liked that the subjects were dealt with in such a thoughtful way. 

I really enjoyed the way Rai conveyed how anxiety and PTSD affected even the small things in their lives, and also modeled the healthier coping mechanisms that the heroine had learned from her therapist.
