So I haven’t actually read all of the Hartigans series yet. However I know enough about the characters that I was excited for this prequel type of novel telling the romance of the parents that started the whole family. The fact that it was set in the 80s, when I was growing up, made me so much more excited about it as well!
It is a shorter story, maybe more of a novella than a novel? But it was a lot of fun, and I really loved spending time in the 80s with these fun and hilarious characters. I loved all the names of movies, tv shows, slang, cars, all the 80s bits in the story. There were steamy bits sprinkled throughout, and so much fun banter, as well as all the wonderful and fun characters in the small town.
My only complaint would be that the reasons she kept fighting the attraction and pushing Frank away got to be a bit annoying after a while. At a certain point she should have been able to easily see that the supposed player personality he had wasn’t true. Not once did he show anything like that in the story. However, when things did come together at the end, that made up for that issue.
Such a fun story, and now I have to go back and read those books in the series that I haven’t read yet!
