My feelings about this book can be summed up in one endless scream. It's so goddamn good.
This is the second book in the Lovelight farms series following Beckett, a Christmas tree farmer (who might or might not have autism it's not explicit) and Evie, an influencer who gives a platform to small business around the US. They had a one night stand and run into each other months later (in the first book in this series). Evie has a crisis about her job and decides to camp out in this small town until she sorts everything out. No hotel vacancies means Beckett's spare rooms are the only viable option. Forced proximity, prior sexual tension, tall and broody man who is extremely adorable with small animals.....there's really only one way this could resolve itself.
Evie and Beckett's romance is so tender that it hurt. Like short of breath hurt. Beckett's caretaker vibes and Evie's sunshine community cornerstone vibes mesh together so perfectly. They're the perfect compliments to each other's good and bad parts. It's not a slow burn exactly but the waiting that you have to endure as they tip toe around each other makes those small moments of emotional bonding and physical contact so precious. The build up to the break in tension is IMMACULATE. Perfect perfect perfect.
I literally have no critiques about this book except to beg for more scraps of content about them. Actually no, the local sheriff is not a major player in the story but he's...present...and idk but ACAB. It's fine he's not any different from the busybodies and is mostly the town's resident father figure. I can mostly ignore it.
Ugh the next book can't come fast enough I stg.
