It is everything. Romantic, spontaneous, thrilling…grumpy x sunshine is one of the best tropes there is. The pacing was authentic, the angst was perfect! The smut and romance made me swoon! Can’t wait to devour everything this author has written cause she’s writing gold!

Our FMC is the most sunshine-y person to ever exist, so much so she is described as this angelic glowing creature that you wish to be annoyed at but you can’t cause god damn it does she have the personality of really making lemonade. 

I’m not going to lie, but I hated the first chapter, the writing was annoying it felt like the author knew she wanted our FMC to get to her “running away” but didn’t quite figure out how. So quick let’s make her crash her car to avoid a squirrel. And let’s not mention the “stick my tongue out at my reflection, I was preparing myself with the mantra of ‘do not be cringed out you can keep reading’. And keep reading I did and you know what? I’m glad I did. 

If she is our golden sunshine then our MMC is our grey grumpiest cowboy, and boy does he take it to another level. His introduction was the moment when my brain was like wait, go on, this could be going somewhere. We get brothers, we get a hint of family lore. I can see the vision, I can plan the couples. Damn it, I’m excited! 

The tension and the building of lust is great. I just love it when the author hits that sweet spot of enough tease and build up so that when they have s*x it just feels right. And boy, does it feel right, he has the “I’ve got you” vibe of “I’m showing you how it’s done” and she’s literally got the “this could kill me vibe but f*ck it, it will be worth it”. And I would say it’s certainly is worth it. 

She falls but damn does he fall harder, and he is grasping and never letting her go. They are both keeping their secrets, it’s only meant to be for the summer after all. She’s there to help his ranch, and he helps her “to-do list (so do it)”.  But as the story goes when you wear the hat, you keep the cowboy. 

Oh and just ignore that her surname is Bloom and her dad owns a flower shop called “Bloom’s Blooms” and she also wants a flower shop. Talk about flower power.

Three random thoughts:
- Gotta persevere through the cringe, talking to you Bloom’s Blooms. 
- Cannot picture anything worse than being naked on a beach.. that’s too much sand for me. 
- Who did the bones belong to??!
