I really enjoyed this one. It pulled me in from beginning to end and I loved watching these two come together. Holt and Harmony both have things they are dealing with and Harmony has a major hang up with sports players and the way they get treated at the university. One night, Holt and his close friends end up at Harmony's table and Holt is smitten. He loves her feistiness as well and it leads to him digging in to find out who she is and meeting up with her at the beach. They definitely have some things to work through as they start getting to know each other. I loved how Holt didn't rush Harmony with going all the way though they did continue to move forward and there are plenty of steamy scenes, it builds and isn't just about the homerun. Holt doesn't want to scare Harmony off but he really likes her and really feels like she is the one for him. There are a few twists and turns that they have to deal with and obstacles to overcome as well. Holt has to deal with some things and find a way to work through it in a healthier way than he had been. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and loved the banter between our main characters. This is a standalone story though it is later in the series so you definitely recognize some characters but easy to start here as well. I love these guys and can't wait for more.
