Reread January 2023: Picked this up again to check out the audio version (Thank you Emma St. Clair for the ALC!) and it was SO GOOD. I even bumped my rating. All the swoon.
Thank you to the author for an ARC!

I adore all things Emma St. Clair and this was another notch on that belt. I have been waiting for this series starter and now I want all things Graham related. ALL THE THINGS.
This was a different take for me on the marriage of convenience trope. Love was already flowing between them before vows were said and you could FEEEEEEL it. I actually really liked that and made this book just have all of the ooey-gooey things I love. Pat had me absolutely smitten and his dedication to wooing Lindy was top notch. Lindy learning to let others help her, also top notch. Here for the character growth y’all.
Not to mention, Texas high school football, meddling friends and brothers, wild squirrels, and a rain storm. Every time Pat and Lindy fired up a kissing scene the sparks FLEW. I love how St. Clair approaches and writes these scenes. Give me alllllll those heartfelt moments.
The ending wrapped up with some tender scenes that will melt you into a puddle. I liked that the miscommunication wasn’t over blown. Each character thought and approached from their side and had an actual conversation. My fav.
Already waiting impatiently for the next story because it’s sure to be as fire as this one.
Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: very little
- Romance: make-outs
- Trigger/Content Warnings: parental abandonment, caring for a parent with dementia
