This story is sexy, swoony, and delightful; you won't miss out on the grumpy sunshine characters—the unforgettable moments, the age gap in the military, and the firefighter romance. Winnie is a character, and I genuinely loved her pov and quirks. Dex is a grumpy single dad, but his heart gets thawed eventually. And between the unexpected beginning and the delightful ending are many emotional, frustrating, and exciting moments with these characters to keep you hooked on this story.

Dex is trying to be a fantastic dad, but balancing custody, his girls, and his job is difficult. He is a firefighter but was in the military as a Navy Seal. Dex has his hands full with two pretentious little girls. Luna and Hallie keep him on his toes.

Winnie believes in love at first sight, fairytale romance, and being a hopeless romantic. Of course, she has the hots for her new neighbor, but she has sworn off men. She has some unexpected visitors, and I love the comedy the author has woven into the story.

They have some very steamy moments, but this neighbor to possible lovers couple is taking it slow and not jumping each other the first chance they get. The story behind the characters and their relationship status and decisions is almost as intriguing as the romance in the pages.

I thought Winnie was the damaged one, but she is hopeful, loving, and patient. Dex, on the other hand, is a disaster. I love that she finally decided to make a move and go after what they both wanted, and yea, this book gets very steamy. I don't know. Just something about this story has me wishing for a jubilant ever after. This book and the character's stubbornness and loving side tugged on your heartstrings and made me teary-eyed.

I love the big romantic gesture of laying your heart out for the other person and having that swoony moment. This book finally gives me all the happy moments. I wonder about the title and how it relates, but I did enjoy this read.
