Did really enjoy this book. Not a fan of a miscommunication trope, but liked the small town romance element and the seasonal vibe. Will likely pick up the next one in the series the closer we get to Christmas!

This book was a cute read. The ending felt a bit rushed to wrap things up and the plot went to the wayside but it was still a fun, easy read for fall.

That was absolutely adorable. I don’t even know what else to say. It was the book version of a Hallmark movie, but with some spice. The plot wasn’t anything overly elaborate, but still managed to keep me interested and engaged. I really enjoyed the main characters. They were reasonably well developed, and I did a little emotionally attached. This was just a the perfect quick, easy read to get into the fall mood.

I didn’t have very high expectations for this book, but it turned out to be a cosy romantic read that was lighthearted with low stakes and great autumn vibes. It got a bit insta-lovey at the start and the spicy  scenes felt a bit too long, but I will be reading the rest of the series if that’s any indication as to my thoughts 😆
