Paradise Cove by Jenny Holiday
5.0
This small town romance felt real and raw and lived in. I loved the realistic portrayal of intimacy and bodies (hello stretch marks and a man coming first!) and I deeply appreciated this book’s caring exploration of grief.
Jake and Nora have great chemistry and such an organic arc from acquaintances to friends-with-benefits to lovers. I’m a sucker for a strong silent type but I liked that Jake was more verbal with her and she was while very caring toward others and him, she was also very pragmatic and unfazed by tough dialogue about Jake’s last. It felt believable and deep and wonderfully gratifying to see them grow in their collection via that dynamic.
Finally, I throughly enjoyed the ensemble cast and connection I felt to Moonflower Bay and its townspeople. I’m looking forward to Law and Maya’s story next!
