Just One Moment by Ronnie Mathews
4.0
Graham receives an invitation to his ex-girlfriend’s wedding and can only think of taking the vibrant woman he hasn’t stopped thinking about since they first met. Quinn has been on the move for the last few years before finally opening her dream bakery and starting to feel settled in Sutton Bay. Everything’s going well, until it isn’t, and she’s too afraid and too independent to ask for help. Graham is a sweet and shy man who has intrigued her for months, making her an offer she can’t refuse. But as the line between real and fake blurs, their lives become intertwined, and they see that they both bring out the best in each other.
JUST ONE MOMENT is the second book in the Sutton Bay series, easily being read as standalones. I absolutely adored the setting of Sutton Bay, a coastal town in New England. It has the best small town feel with a beautiful atmosphere and great views.
Graham and Quinn’s story is so sweet. Graham is a unique MMC to the ones I’ve read of late – he’s shy, but he’s also kind, thoughtful, and caring. He expresses his thoughts and feelings best through the written word, making it hard for others who are more expressive verbally to truly understand him. Quinn is an independent FMC who has had a troubled upbringing; she’s a vibrant character who is kind and courageous. I am a sucker for a dual POV romance, so this was an easy checkmark in my book.
Quinn and Graham’s relationship starts off as fake but as the story progresses, they blur the lines and end up with the sweetest of relationships. I adored the small gestures that make for swoon worthy moments. The journal entries and letters are a beautiful touch, adding so much heart. Honestly, Graham is a book boyfriend that’s hard to beat.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Curly, an easy dog to love. Pets in romances (or any books really) are my jam. I also really loved the positive mental health representation that is included – a great addition. I’ll definitely be circling back to the first book in this series in the near future!
I would like to thank the author, Ronnie Mathews, of this advanced digital copy for the opportunity to read this novel in exchange for an honest review! All opinions expressed are my own.
