funny hopeful lighthearted reflective relaxing medium-paced

These characters are brave and real. I loved how conflict was handled, I loved how different facets of love were depicted with such tenderness and care. The sweetest time.
Also, are you kidding me with that cover? The most gorgeous one I’ve seen.

I ended up loving this book even more than I expected to. It was such a wonderful slow-burn romance full of tension and pining

At times it was easy to get frustrated with Aidan and I would have loved to see him work through his past a little more thoroughly and slowly. But ultimately I loved how to the story played out.

The side characters also really shine and I cannot wait for more stories in this universe!

This book was pure magic. Every time I think her books can't get better but yet they do. Lucie and Aiden made me sob, laugh, and fall in love with love all over again. Every single one of these characters has taken up full space inside my heart. No one does swoonworthy romance better than BK Borison.

This was a cute romance story with a unique interwoven radio subplot. There are more moments that made me lol than I expected! The characters were mature and there wasn't any of that ridiculous miscommunication. I enjoyed it.

This isn’t the type of book I’d normally pick up, but I ended up finding it wholesome and cute. The story follows late-night radio host Aiden Valentine and car mechanic and single mum Lucie, and their growing connection that soon turns into something deeper. It’s a cozy, small-town romance with a slow-burn dynamic that makes for an easy, comforting read. While it didn’t completely blow me away, I appreciated the warmth of the story and the genuine sweetness of the characters. I’m still not a fluffy romance girly but overall, it was an enjoyable read, and I’d give it 3.5 stars.
