I always enjoy a good enemies to lovers small town romance, I eat it up every time. Also, I didn’t expect this is to me a smutty adult romance, maybe because the flowery cover…. I was mislead. Also, that the MMC AND MFC were 36 and 43 years old?? It was really funny and silly with an interesting plot. I adore the side characters and small town life. Weirdly cringey in some parts and I kept thinking “how are they acting 20 years younger than they are.” Even though I enjoyed the romance and Naomi and Knox, they were really annoying and immature in MANY parts. I’ve seen a lot of criticism on the humor and descriptions but I enjoyed it for a majority of the time. I would say it’s a bit longer than it should have been but I also think it was well paced. Overall, I love Knox and Naomi but they aren’t my favorite book couple. If anything I thought Knox’s views on women were problematic and I wouldn’t date him but overall enjoyable. He was a cinnamon roll at his core though. I laughed a lot and will read the rest of the series with Nash & Lucian’s books. One of my favorite parts was the town and the whole community small town support.

“You can have anything you want. A big church wedding. A backyard barbecue. A five-figure wedding dress. But I have one demand.”
Of course it was a demand and not a request. “What’s that?”
“I want daisies in your hair.”
