Meet Laney, a veterinarian in a small town, who was a big fan of a boyband called Midnight Rush, and an even bigger crush on one of its members, Deke Driscoll. Then you have Adam, a rugged owner of the local dog rescue who occasionally brings his dogs to her clinic and has a crush on Laney. When they finally had a conversation, they instantly bonded over music (and dogs!), and Adam finally had the courage to ask her out. Laney definitely experienced some deja vu, but she just couldn't put her finger on it. Is Adam just a dog rescue owner, or is there more to the story?
The banter between Laney and Adam was sweet and real, and I loved how they navigated their relationship before and after she found out he's Deke. The relationship developed at a realistic pace. The dual POV in this book helped me learn more about Adam's past and why he chose to do what he did.
This book is so much more than a typical lighthearted romance because it explores grief, too. There were scenes that will make you giggle and heartwarming scenes in this book that will tug at your heartstrings! It certainly did for me! All the characters were lovable (except Kevin), and you will find yourself rooting for them.
I highly recommend this book for lovers of small town romances! This book felt like a warm hug to boyband fans and to those affected by grief. It was a delight to read, and I can't wait to read more from the author!
