 William Kidd has joined my ever growing list of favourite book boyfriends.

I devoured this book in just over 24 hours, and that's only because I had to sleep and do other adult things. Had I been able to, I would have finished it in one sitting.

As an Australian, reading a book by an Australian author with Australian characters always brings me joy. That combined with the small seaside town with a close knit community and a friends to lovers theme? You have me hook, line and sinker straight away.

Abbie and Will have such an incredible friendship, which is put on show when a 6 month old baby is brought to Will's doorstep. Not only does Will immediately take on the responsibility of being a father, Abbie is right by his side helping him out.

There are challenges for both of them along the way which is to be expected when you're all of a sudden a parent and have no idea what to do. 

The amount of spice in this book is just right for this kind of story, and it is expertly written. 

I'm pleasantly surprised that what I thought would happen didn't, I think if it had then the story might have been a bit predictable but it was quite original and believable as well.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will absolutely be reading Samantha's other books.
