Loved how this was a mix of personal/emotional development for the main characters, but also obviously the romance. What he did to her with the bet was soo wrong, and even though I completely understand that it feels difficult and scary to tell her, he should have done it without her having to find about it the way she did. Completely support that she made him grovel, but love that they did have their happy ending. (also they toxic relationship-warning is not about the main characters)

Rich girl meets local townie. It’s a book with some self discovery along with romance and a little bit of a revenge subplot.

This was my first Elle Kennedy and I enjoyed it! I liked the characters and story. A couple parts had me rolling my eyes but that happens. The only thing that bugged me was that the conflict was resolved literally on the last pages. I like to have an additional scene or 2 after the resolution to smooth out the ending. But maybe that's just my preference.
