I enjoyed the 3rd book in the Aster Valley series. Declan and Finn may have started off rocky, but once they got together they were really sweet. Finn most definitely isn't who he appears to be. The man behind the actor is more of a homebody and is quite sensitive personality wise. I think he cried on three separate occasions in the book. He just had such a soft heart which was perfect for someone like Declan. He is a caretaker, I mean the man is literally a sheriff. Though no one can take away Truman as my favorite MC of the series, this book was enjoyable as well. I look forward to the next book after the little crumb we got at the end of this one!

4.5 stars. Declan comes to Aster Valley to escape LA and the Hollywood egos whilst Finn comes to Aster Valley from LA to discover who he truly wants to be.
These two wonderful characters couldn’t have had a worst first meeting, it’s definitely not a meet cute, Declan’s preconceived notions of Hollywood actors does not lead to a good first impression of Finn or his friend Kix.
Declan rather quickly does feel a connection towards Finn but tries his best to ignore it.
Finn struggles to find his place in the world, feels lonely and vulnerable, but with Declan by his side he discovers and embraces his true self.
After a dash of angst, some humour and some drama, they finagle their way to their HEA.
The story telling ability of this author once again had me immersed in a perfectly paced romance with a fantastic cast of main and secondary characters who kept me fully engaged and turning the pages. It’s the perfect blend of humour, romance, dramatic moments, steamy moments and side characters that keep things interesting.

Small town makes a BIG splash!
Hahaha sorry that title is corny.
ANYWAY, I definitely enjoyed this one more than SWEET AS HONEY so we’re going to say 3.5/5 instead of 3.
Enemies to lovers is one of my fav tropes. The angst was everything. Especially with a sheriff and a huge celebrity in a small town. Ugh so good.
I also like that even though Lucy writes about idyllic small towns where everyone is gay, she’s in on the joke. It never seems TOO corny or cheesy. I like that a lot.
A fun, quick, and sexy novel!
