4.11 AVERAGE


This was adorable, oh so spicy (the hotel scene…holy shit), and had me either giggling, blushing, or saying “awwww” for just about the entire duration of the book. I also loved the Christmas in Florida vibes.

The banter was top notch and one of my favorite parts of the book. The back and forth between both Frankie and Ophelia and between them and their friends had me giggling non stop. Ophelia’s quick wit was something I both really appreciated and envied. And it wasn’t just the banter that was good…the bedroom talk was at a whole other level. This was some of the most shameless and varied dirty talk I’ve ever read especially from Frankie’s character. If you like a man with a dirty mouth, this one takes the cake

Super cute. Very funny. I cackled many times.
No third act breakup. Chemistry off the charts.
A perfect holiday romcom.

4.5⭐️ rounded to a 5!

I had so much fun in Coconut Creek! Frankie and Ophelia were hilarious and the banter was so good in such an effortless way. When I wasn’t laughing, Frankie either had me in my feels or blushing. He was such a sweetheart with a filthy mouth.

There were minor issues with Ophelia and Frankie’s backstories that I wished were laid out a bit more to really understand them but that is really my only complaint.

Can’t wait to see more of these characters, especially Sam and Tyler!
