⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review
Colbie Jones is estranged from her father until she gets the call that he was badly injured in a work related incident. She packs her bags and heads out to face him. Once she arrives she is faced with the responsibility of taking over his business while he recovers. Her father isn't the only estranged family. Colbie has to face her step mother and step sister, a family she never really fit into. And then there is the son that her father never really had, Jake Whittier.
The Least Amount of Awful is a small town, workplace romance featuring a single dad. Millikin really knows how to build up her characters and set the stage for her readers. At first, Jake was a grump and I absolutely despised him. Then I was introduced to Robbie and I immediately fell in love. Throughout the book Jake began to grow on me. Colbie, sure won those guys over with her snow cones, and to admit my weakness, I definitely wanted one after that scene as well! This novel was full of steam, tension, and flirty banter. The emotional trauma our main characters endured caused them to be reserved. Throughout this novel they were encouraged to open up their hearts to one another and trust again. I will definitely recommend this 5 star read to all my book friends.
