I absolutely loved this book. It was such a sweet, cute romance and I loved the characters and their relationships.  I’m looking forward to seeing the other couples!!

I should probably make "Hallmark movie but make it steamy" an official tag.

I picked this up because I fancied reading an independently published adult romance, and I'd seen a few friends reading it recently. (Also the cover is just lovely.) But sadly, I was pretty disappointed. I found the pacing slow and the characters quite bland. There was one great spicy scene and one great angsty scene, but apart from that I spent a lot of this book feeling bored and disconnected. Perhaps it's just me and I wasn't in the headspace for a slow-paced, leisurely romance, but I'm not sure I'll be picking up the rest of the books in the series.

Still love Borison’s writing. I didn’t love the miscommunication trope, but it wasn’t immature or ridiculous. Both characters had trouble trusting and taking that leap, and it was written in a believable way. I loved Beckett and all his flaws. Too many grumpy characters don’t let anyone in, but Beckett fell so hard for Evie.
