Tropes: Grumpy-sunshine opposites attract romance between a rich influencer (FMC) and a grumpy deep sea fisherman.

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.

10/10. This has got to be one of my new favorite romances. I wasn't even planning on reading this book right now but I am so glad that I did. I am not usually someone who has book boyfriends or crushes, but Brendan has made it to the top of the list (with Peeta Mellark, obviously). The first about 100 pages were a little mediocre but after that, I practically couldn't put the book down and was constantly thinking about it even when I wasn't reading. I love the character growth from the characters and all of the ensemble characters as well. The ending felt somewhat abrupt with not a lot of resolution time but not too much that it threw me off. I love this book and I highly recommend.

I enjoyed this book some scenes had me kicking my feet and giggling and others had me cringing this book is spicy with a happy ending no cliffhangers no cheating and no love triangle i thought this book was cute Piper did get on my nerve’s towards the ending though that miscommunication/misunderstanding at the ending i feel was a little unnecessary but i did love the male main character every scene that he was in i enjoyed so much this book follows a rich daddy's girl getting in trouble so her stepfather sends her to a small town where she lived as a toddler but her mother moved her to LA when she was four because something horrible happened and when Piper and her sister Hannah go return to this little small town as punishment for piper thats where we meet the male main character who is a widowed big and tall fisherman i did find some scenes pretty annoying in this book are main character Piper did have a whole lot of problems within herself that i feel she brought into her relationship with Brendan which cause some unnecessary bickering between them I don’t want to say to much and end up spoiling the book and this book also has Enemies to Lovers,Opposites Attract,Small Town Romance,Grumpy x Sunshine and it’s a Slow burn overall i rated this book 4 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As this was a big must read on Tiktok, I decided to give this a go. It had my hooked from the beginning. I only started it lunchtime yesterday and completed it at 11:30am the next day. It was a enjoyable read and j will be reading more from the author. 

The only reason I haven't rated it 5 stars is because of the lack of pipers personality in the book. It's too focused on the plot rather than the girls.

I liked this one! It was an enjoyable read. Piper was difficult to like in the beginning but she grew on me! I liked the way their relationship progressed. I think I liked the side characters a little more so I'm curious about their book! 

Minus a star for the million times he called her "baby" because it gives me the ick.
