She has done it again folks! Am I surprised? Heck no!! I adore Chelsea and I am so glad I found her books when I did ❤️

I knew I was going to love Dallas and Maven’s story, but y’all these two are so freaking good together!! Then to toss in the relationship Dallas has with June and seeing the bond Maven creates with her? My heart was melting 🥹 

I absolutely loved how well Dallas and Maven communicated with each other and that they didn’t hide their feelings. They would talk about what was on their mind or if something was bothering them so openly. Not only did they have a beautiful relationship, but the friendship they built underneath everything? I ADORED it. We also cannot forget about the slow burn and tension. It. Was. Delicious. 

Thank you so much to Chelsea and Love Notes PR for the ARC 💕
