I was so excited to read this book after finishing Kit's story! I loved the wholesome rom-com and wanted another story about Junebug's antics. I will say, this book had too much innuendo and sexual content for my personal preferences. I loved that the first was a clean, witty romance and it was disappointing to see all the inneduno and then eventually, open door sex scene. That scene was easy to skip, which I appreciated, but most of the innuendo was not. 


Aside from that I absolutely loved this book! Junebug is a hoot and I was laughing harder than a book has made me laugh in a long time before the innuendo started. The romance was more focused on physical connection than emotional connection, so it also wasn't as swoony as the first one, but I was still deeply attached to both Morgan and Pip from the start and rooting for them to get together. Pip especially grabbed my heart from the first chapter and I love a character I can root for. 

I also loved the side characters. Junebug is my favorite part of the series, but Pip's grandma played an incredible role and gave me a few laughs too! And I really want to read the next one and see the rest of the McBrides fall in love, however, if it's as steamy as this book was, I may personally decide to skip out on it.

Overall this book was really well done and if you prefer spice more than I do, you'd probably love this book and find it flawless.
