Liam is seriously the cutest and most thoughtful dude. I really enjoyed watching him build a relationship with Tessa and break down her walls. 
It was good.

Full disclosure: I didn't think Liam was the LI for me — we just didn't vibe in the first book — but he's totally convinced me otherwise. He and Tessa were so precious and I loved how Liam always prioritised Tessa's comfort when it came to how quickly they were going with their relationship. My nr. 1 love (so far? 🤭) is still Walker though and I loved the scenes he was in. Onto more Walker content with Jensen and Tuck

Tessa and Levi were sweet together. I loved listening to their story unfold. He took such care in his interactions and time with her. I loved how she let him in.

Troubled rockstar meets baker with a traumatic past. He's wonderful and sweet; she's skittish but very tough, and they're each hiding their own pain. With her trauma, it's a very slow burn romance indeed but whole process of them building feelings and trust is written well. He's a total gem - kind, understanding and very patient, and she opens up to him because of his sincerity and his heart, and she inspires him to compose again. 

Their romance is sweet, tender and there's good doses of passion, and I loved how much he adores her and fights to protect her. Good elements of suspense, which also serves to strengthen their bond. Really enjoyed this!
