It is a good book with many very good quotes to remember. The plot worse nice and all the characters was loveable but I just wish that the climax point was better made it. For me personally was a lot boring and not shocking or exciting. But other than that it is a good book. I and I will read the next one for sure.

🇳🇱: toen ik aan dit boek begon, had ik er eigenlijk niet zoveel zin in, omdat hij zo dik is. Toen ik eenmaal begonnen was had ik hier totaal geen last van. Het begin verliep in mijn mening wat langdradig en het duurde even voordat ik erin zat, maar toen ik erin zat was het goed. Knox is echt een kan van mijn hart en bevat alles wat ik in een grumpy man zoek. Ook Naomi was geweldig, zij was de typisch sunshine die elke grumpy VS sunshine trope nodig heeft. Hun romance paste ook echt goed bij het verhaal. Het was een slowburn romance, maar dat vond ik juist heel goed bij dit boek passen. Het boek zit buiten spice en romance ook boordevol actie en avontuur, dit zorgde ervoor dat mijn aandacht steeds opnieuw getrokken werd. Al met al een top boek en echt een aanrader (al had hij van mij iets korter gemogen en dan vooral het begin).

🇬🇧: When I started this book, I wasn't really looking forward to it because it's so thick. Once I started, I didn't have any problems with this at all. The beginning was a bit long-winded in my opinion and it took a while to get into it, but once I got into it it was good. Knox is truly my heart and has everything I look for in a grumpy man. Naomi was also great, she was the quintessential sunshine that every grumpy VS sunshine trope needs. Their romance really fit the story well too. It was a slow-burn romance, but I thought that suited this book very well. In addition to spice and romance, the book is also packed with action and adventure, which attracted my attention again and again. All in all, a great book and highly recommended (although I would have liked it to be a little shorter, especially the beginning).

I always enjoy a good enemies to lovers small town romance, I eat it up every time. Also, I didn’t expect this is to me a smutty adult romance, maybe because the flowery cover…. I was mislead. Also, that the MMC AND MFC were 36 and 43 years old?? It was really funny and silly with an interesting plot. I adore the side characters and small town life. Weirdly cringey in some parts and I kept thinking “how are they acting 20 years younger than they are.” Even though I enjoyed the romance and Naomi and Knox, they were really annoying and immature in MANY parts. I’ve seen a lot of criticism on the humor and descriptions but I enjoyed it for a majority of the time. I would say it’s a bit longer than it should have been but I also think it was well paced. Overall, I love Knox and Naomi but they aren’t my favorite book couple. If anything I thought Knox’s views on women were problematic and I wouldn’t date him but overall enjoyable. He was a cinnamon roll at his core though. I laughed a lot and will read the rest of the series with Nash & Lucian’s books. One of my favorite parts was the town and the whole community small town support.

“You can have anything you want. A big church wedding. A backyard barbecue. A five-figure wedding dress. But I have one demand.”
Of course it was a demand and not a request. “What’s that?”
“I want daisies in your hair.”

i didnt like a lot of this book, i found the main characters annoying, there was a lot of unnecessary subplot or plot that i think the author should’ve gone into more detail abt, they didn’t go into trauma as much as they should have imo. it was a mentioned once never said again deal. and i expected a bit more abt the fiance.  but it came back together at the end. i still liked all the side characters better, but some of them were still bitches. very virgin river meets gilmore girls meets season one riverdale
