🩰 Friends to lovers meets small town romance is a combination I adore. Sloane and Jasper make a very cute couple and their story has so much depth. Jasper is a very different mmc and his character growth is so satisfying to read. Sloane is a relatable fmc for so many women who try so hard for everyone else.

🩰 The slow-burn is so good and the plot was realistic as both mcs have so much trauma to acknowledge and address. The characters are lovable and relatable; their chemistry together is amazing. I don't want to compare this book to the others as these two characters are so different from the ones from the previous books, but I wasn't as hooked to this book as the others.

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 🌶️🌶️🌶️

The pacing in the beginning of the book is a little weird. So many things happen in those first fifty to one hundred pages. There were several scenes that struck me as strange throughout the book, like checking him out while he’s puking. Not my favorite read.

This book would have been a solid 4 ⭐️ if it weren’t for a couple things. 1) Flashback narration was set apart by a jarring echo effect that was unpleasant and distracting. At first I thought there was something wrong with my device. It took a while to accept that it was actually intentional. 2) I really don’t like a man choking a woman or putting a hand on her throat forcefully during sex, even when it’s fully consensual. That is dangerous and, to me, deeply unsexy. Other than those elements, this was overall a satisfying friends-to-lovers story about two people learning to live authentically and reclaim their own power.
