This charming small-town, second-chance romance featuring a single dad is perfect for anyone seeking a lighthearted and spicy read.
The story revolves around two childhood friends, Johanna and Patrick, who have grown apart. After six years, Johanna returns to Sutton Bay to assist the distant Patrick in saving his father's legacy. Although Patrick isn't thrilled about her return, he realizes he can't avoid her forever, especially since they must collaborate once again.
Oh my, this book was absolutely adorable! For a debut novel, it was fantastic and just what I needed. A big thank you to Ronnie for the advance copy! I can’t wait to see what’s next for the residents of Sutton Bay!

Such a beautiful debut from this author. It felt like a soothing hug after a tough day; it felt like a homecoming full of bittersweet moments and tenderness - which is exactly what it was. This is a beautiful story of grief, loss, love, anxiety, and life with all of the moments in between. The characters are well written and beautiful, full of triumphs, failures, and bittersweet memories.
The flashbacks to the past are well written and add a layer of context that truly completes the story. The mental health representation is well-written and beautifully portrayed.
Sometimes, you truly can return home.
Oh - and the spice is a beautiful thing! The truck scene was EVERYTHING I didn't even know I needed!
This is truly a book that I wish I could read for the first time again.

Firstly I couldn’t put this down!
This fully consumed my heart in two days!
It’s been a while since I book has made me this emotional! There is something between the pages of this masterpiece!
My heart! Johanna and Patrick 🫶🏻 childhood friends to lovers to strangers 😭 I was hoping the timing would final fall right for these two! The pain and the loss they’ve both had to deal with! My god! The tears just remember it all!
The mental health is so beautifully written yet so raw and as someone who’s had to overcome anxiety/depression when it’s done right in a book! It hits!
I went into the completely blind it was our bookclub pick for February and so perfectly themed.
I think Patrick and Yoyo with stay with me for a while 🫶🏻
