I wasn't really prepared for this as I thought it was going to be a fun, cozy small town romance. This was not that. I enjoyed it, but there is a lot of angst and drama. I also had a hard time with the audiobook specifically because there is much more on-page time for the FMC and I did not like her narrator as much as the MMC's narrator. The female narrator had a ton of vocal fry that I found grating.

Very solid romance with a great semi second chance trope. Beckett was a wonderful alpha male and I love to see their relationship grow and unfold.

From my tracking spreadsheet:

Summary: A teacher runs into the man she's had a crush on since childhood, and then has brain-destroying sex with him on a school-sponsored camping trip with her students.

Notes:
  • I cannot come up with a single positive thing to say about this story or its characters.
  • Every single conflict in this story comes from the MCs complete inability to talk with each other instead of having sex.
  • The MMC is jealous and possessive to the point of toxicity and actually harming other men in the FMC's presence.
  • There is zero emotional chemistry between the MCs.

CW: jealousy-driven violence;
FMC is kidnapped and threatened at knife point by a side character

Sex:
frequent brain-destroying NC-17 scenes

Spoiler 

So she gets sorta kidnapped at the end and for what? It’s so rushed and didn’t even make sense. Like the other dude was creepy and this dude  was just kinda there I guess so when it turns out second dude it the bad guy it didn’t really seem to fit everything. I didn’t care for the characters and just wanted more of Maddie (the best friend)
