I enjoyed it but I do think it had too many plot points going on. It held my attention but it definitely could have been shorter. It could have done without the father stuff.
I really liked Nick though.

What a rollercoster! So much drama and action - and I LOVED it! Nick is one of my favorite book boyfriends for sure.

I had many mixed feelings about this book. I can live with Nick and Emmy falling in love in 5 hrs. I will even accept the marriage.
Then we start to stagger into the ridiculous. How does this woman leave New York to teach (her dream) but talks about opening a restaurant. I'm confused. The explanation about how that works comes out later, but it makes me wonder about what purpose it served.
How does she have a 5 year relationship and not tell the man she lived with (who wants to marry her) that she was still married? Then she went through the "not feeling like she was married" issue.
But this was not going to be a DNF for me.
By the time we got to the danger, suspense, the familial MC's, the awful father, the awful best friend who was awful before she became more awful, the book had become better.
Emmy was mostly irritating. Nick was bossy. He never seemed to give her a choice, and she ran hot and cold. What she was initially trying to do turned into a train wreck. I don't know why she couldn't make choices or at minimum contact her therapist.
There seemed to be a lot going on, some of it from out of the blue, some felt unfinished, but ultimately Nick and Emmy got their HEA with a few surprises along the way.
I listened to the audiobook which had 2 narrators. The female narrator's part was so large that when I finally heard the male narrator speak, I was surprised. I had forgotten a male narrator was supposed to be part of the book.
I can't say I completely enjoyed it, but I did enjoy parts of the book. I would suggest people read it and judge for themselves.

4.5
I love a Vegas shotgun wedding and then fast forward to the future! there were so many things I loved about this book. I absolutely loved Emmy and Nick. I love a good second chance and throw in some suspense and you have me hooked. there was a lot of making up that Nick had to do throughout this book and I was here for it. this book was sweet, and I really enjoyed every second of it. I cannot explain how much this series is having me in a chokehold. Also meeting Nick's brothers are making me want to read the Clifton Forge series.
