It's been two years since Vanessa Jared got divorced and she wants nothing to do with her emotionally abusive ex-husband. That's why she immediately refuses Sheriff Michael Park when he asks her to help keep his younger sister away from Vanessa's ex-husband. But when she finds out that her ex had given her grandmother's ring to Michael's sister, Vanessa is motivated to help Michael and get her ring back in the process.
I read this book purely because of the gorgeous cover. I liked the whole city girl in a small-town vibe this book had going. I also found the hero, heroine, and supporting characters likable. I just wish that the romance was based on something more than insta-lust. The stakes are also pretty low, which is fine. I do enjoy low angst and low stakes romances. But when the stakes are low, the banter and chemistry have to be exceptionally good to keep my attention. And while I did like Michael and Vanessa together, I just didn't get that sizzling chemistry I was expecting.
So overall, I did like this book, but it just didn't leave a lasting impression on me.
Thank you SMP for my complimentary copy.

Loved this book! Vanessa is that girl okay! It was a cute little romance with some good spice 🤠but Vanessa’s journey was one that many can take some good things from.
There’s like 5% plot and 20% ick sex. And some writing like “a cup of coffee at my favorite local coffee shop” that sounds like a madlib hasn’t been filled out yet. Like why is there no name? Anyway. I did not enjoy it.
dnf @ 56% because i'm not really in the mood for romance
