So this was really cute and fun!!
Fiona, a lawyer with punk rock wild child roots has an iron clad plan to achieve her life goals including a husband before she turns 30. Enter Max, a free spirited, rocker, motorcycle mechanic who is basically a nomad and is more the love them for one night type. They are forced together to save a beloved punk rock concert establishment that's about to fall to "the man" and in the process have to rethink their whole way of life due to their insane attraction to each other.
This book was really refreshing as far contemporary romances go. Fiona is the star of this book for me. Finding FMC's that I absolutely adore is really hard sometimes but I have a huge girl crush on Fiona Quinn. She is savvy, sassy, strong, decisive everything I love! She was vulnerable without being needy or cringy and I loved her punk rock spirit! Max was the perfect MMC to compliment Fiona, he was the bad boy in appreance only bc the dude was a complete cinnamon roll and it was so damn cute! I loved him so much! The chemistry and the initial slow burn was soooo well done.
The writing style, and supporting characters were great, but the real showstopper was the punk rock vibes!!! They mention CBGB many times and the music references alone were so insanely good that I kept stopping to play all the songs as I read.
There were a few side plots that I thought slowed the momentum of the main story but all in all it was a really good read.
