Why did they hype up the name sunny and never tell us why she has that nickname?

This was a cute story but that’s about it. It seemed more like fan fiction than an actual novel most times. That’s not to say that fan fiction is bad or below novels, but there are definite differences. 

One of my main gripes with this book is no one had to really try or overcome anything major. The main conflict of this book was something that was already worked through by the time the story was half over and then brought up again later as if it was new. Don't get me wrong, I love a happy ending but literally every story line ends happily with little to no effort from any of the characters. 

That being said, I enjoyed the characters and their quirks. There was a lot of growth that happened in a short amount of time despite the lack of struggles/conflict.

This was a 5 star read for me simply because of the development of Sloane, there’s nothing more empowering and reflective when a female character becomes confident in herself and starts to find her voice☺️. Absolutely loved Jasper too
Kind of didn’t expect his character to have a dominance kink, that was an added bonus
.  I really enjoyed this book, just like I have with all the chestnut springs books. I love all the little added bits about Harvey & the rest of the family we have grown to love.
Definitely the spiciest book of the series, but I loved that! It really fitted with the storyline and wasn’t too much.
. Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  spice level 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Jasper and Sloane were adorable! Their will they won't they childhood love was super cute! I appreciate their communication about issues but my issues comes from something else. Although the "cousins" thing isn't my issue it is a tad weird. My issue comes from the sudden 180 Sloane has in regards to the wedding. In the beginning she is adamant on marriage and that her dad has her best interest at heart. All it takes is one video of Sterling fucking a stripper? It just feels like she'd go to her dad and not Jasper with all the backstory given on why she was getting married in the first place.
