I think it's adorable that this group of guys gets together and read romance novels for their book club. And do yoga together with n elderly, but tough, instructor. Colton's close-knit family will warm your little heart, while Gretchen's will break it. I will confess that the sunshine + grump trope isn't my favorite, and  that may be part of what didn't fully sell this one to me; but, mostly I think it was that I never felt like I was really there in the moment with the characters. I wanted to feel more present and less like the emotions were being presented to me. Still, the characters are well constructed and I appreciated the social commentary and spicy bedroom scenes. It's a 3, but a strong 3.
