Of course the story is cheesy and predictable, but it had just the right ingredients for me: a seaside fishing town setting, a grumpy bearded fisherman love interest, Piper’s character development through growing a real sense of community, great sibling relationship, talk about the ocean, and that first smut scene…
As often is my problem with romance, I got bored in the second half. Now we have drama instead of fun flirting, the guy is like ridiculously in love with her after knowing her for a month (maybe chill for a minute and let the poor girl live?), and the finale really was cringe. I would have preferred more funny scenes and banter instead of the insta-love.

At first I really did not like the FMC and found her selfish and vapid, but her personal growth and character development were both very deep. The MMC was someone I liked from the start - his stoic, practical, routine-driven personality was appealing. I did not buy the InstaLove here, but the relationship gradually became more believable as it unfolded.
The sexual content in this was absolutely gratuitous and took a lot away from the story. I skimmed / skipped it all.
