The MMC was very pushy about the FMC opening up about her past (low key toxic) and then shut down when she asked him to reciprocate. MMC acts like an emotionally immature chimp most of the time.

I think Lucy Score might be one of my favorite new authors. I really enjoy this story and the characters in the book. From what was supposed to be a one month fling, turn into stay with me for a while. Heartbreak and grief are hard to get through, but knowing that someone you love sent someone for you to be happy so you aren't alone know that they care about you no matter where they're at.

Nothing like a cheesy romance novel honestly. 4 stars simply because men need to learn how to communicate their feelings
Such a great lovable book!! I love Lucy Score’s small town romances- I read the Knockemount (?) series first and this was in the similar vein of that which im not complaining about. I was a bit concerned in the first quarter cause they were nice and happy and I was like hmm so what’s the rest of this book about but it was so so good! I thought it would drag and be boring once Luke was out with the military but it was just as good! Luke was a weaker character in some places, I thought, but other than that the characters were quite good! Love Aldo though and can’t wait to read his book

it took a minute to adjust to the 3rd person writing and a bit longer than usual to connect to the characters but i love harper so much, she’s an awesome human and i love how fierce she is. i was not a fan of her violating luke’s most painful traumas. whilst he should have already told her what had happened sometimes it takes time to let down those walls and open up, and although i would also want to snoop so badly it just felt wrong when she did that. that being said luke was a dumbass for refusing to admit that he obviously loved her but i understand the reasons behind why he was being like that. the 3rd act breakup was way more painful than i was expecting and the proposal through acts of service and words of affirmation at the end brought tears to my eyes. i loved this little town and i love aldo and gloria so much and can’t wait to read their book.

Harper - a slightly chaotic woman with a heart of gold - finds herself outside a bar in a tiny town with no phone, no wallet, and an empty tank. She’s saved in so many ways by a somewhat reluctant Luke.
He gives her a job, somewhere to stay, eventually many orgasms, and a found family.
But as open as Harper seems, she’s hiding something. And Luke is very obviously hiding things of his own.
Anywho they agree to a month long situationship. He’s redeploying so she’ll move on to Fremont where she was originally headed at the same time.
Obvs not that simple though! Harper falls in love with him - still plans to leave because that was the deal - and although he’s your typical “I can never love you” he obviously falls in love with her too. He just refuses to believe it. Insert eye-roll at man logic here.
Their chemistry, the spice, the alpha-broody-strong-silent-tattooed-war-hero, the network of friends and family, the bubbly-caring-feisty-heart-of-gold-woman, the DOGS! What’s not to love?
Apart from the tertiary abusive characters - and of course war itself - the only negative was their collective secrets and incessant need to keep them from each other. Also Luke’s idiotic belief that he could never love Harper, thus pushing her away instead.
I do think she went too far invading his privacy though.
A great read in all, and it looks like it might be a series so I’m off to investigate!
