The whole Lovelight Farms family is back in all their quirky small-town glory. I have to admit I listened to the first three books in the series on audiobook format and it gave me mid vibes at best. Reading instead of listening to the fourth book was a game-changer. I enjoyed it so much more. 

Charlie was swoon-worthy from the beginning. He unapologetically flirts with Nova and follows her vibes. He was such a gold retriever boyfriend and I loved it. I related to his issues with feeling like an outsider and needing to feel accepted into the small town and feeling needed. I also related hard to Nova's perfectionist tendencies and the pressure she put on herself to make her family proud. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how on-point the steam was! I struggled not to read this too fast because I didn't want the story to end. There was no third-act breakup but more of a real-life conflict that comes with long-distance relationships. The grand gestures and the wrap-up of this story were so rewarding. I left this book smiling and happy with the conclusion of the series. 

Read if you like Opposites Attract, Grumpy/Sunshine, Friends With Benefits, Small Town Romance. Thanks to the publisher for the ARC in return for an honest review. This book releases 7/16!
