3.5. Unlike many reviewers, I liked both protagonists in Doller's third het romance a lot. Their quick dive into a sexual relationship made sense, given their characters and backstories, especially rolling stone Carla, who uses sex to divert herself from facing the hard emotional stuff. And Doller's trademark quiet, understated writing and deft drawing of character are on strong display here, too. What brought this down to 3.5 stars for me was that the characters' development arcs (especially Eamon's) felt underdeveloped and a bit rushed.

Very much enjoyed this book, and the whole series. The ending made me cry.

This book took me by total surprise. I downloaded it on a whim when it crossed my feed. I had never heard of the author or the book. It fed the traveller in me, brought the reader an easy going love affair, had me laughing a lot and included the importance of family. To say there was a large chunk of time I was sobbing, is an understatement. It was a lovely, lovely book!

This was a really quick read and cute. I haven't read the other books in the series but it works just fine as a standalone.
