“It’s not always about the next thing you do. Sometimes it’s about what you already did.” 

I got my copy from Afterlight and that's really the only reason why I subscribed to it - to get a copy of this wonderful Tessa Bailey book. Usually, her books are a hit and miss but this time for sure, it was a definite hit. So I'm really glad I paid a lot of bucks for this wonderful exclusive edition.

This book was just a cute book - I think that's the best way to simply describe this book. I was having all sorts of emotions throughout my reading journey. Mostly though, I was just smiling pretty hard because I was swooning. I think the last time I was like this with a Tessa Bailey book was with Brendan from IHOS but this time, with Wells. To be honest, Wells is a biiiiiiig walking red flag but I'm blind when it comes to bad boys turned semi-good boys. That's Wells for me. For some reason, he got good after actually acknowledging Josephine, who's been a fan for years. There's that big plot hole but let me look another way. When Wells actually got together with Josephine, I was just a goner. All those sexual scenes they got together was so hot. Usually, it's cringey when guys talk during the sex scenes but when Wells was doing it, I was totally fine with it. I'm not sure why but it must have been because he was just so honest during those intimate moments and he's just thinking out loud. Either way, I was living for it. I love how it also focused on Josephine's condition. It showed how people are treated differently once people found out that they have a certain condition. 

What really decreased the rating for me is the ending. It was an unnecessary fight, maybe the author just didn't want a third-act break up (which I usually hate so I was fine with this ending). The epilogue was cutie though. I don't usually care about the epilogue but this one was necessary. I just love Wells so much and I'm glad he turned a new leaf and got Josephine.

I love a good grumpy sunshine! I’m also a fan of a man who will literally  cannot contain how much he loves his woman. The only nitpicky thing I have to say is that Josephine seemed like an almost too perfect character. I didn’t detect any character flaws at all. Other than that, quick lighthearted read!

It was so dang cute, and I hate golf but this was exquisite. My favorite part was all of Wells’ character growth. Their banter was so fun and even the golf parts were interesting. I’m obsessed. 

Romance, Hate to Love, Boss/Employee, 3 3/4 🔥
