Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥
Tropes: age gap, broken MC, coming home again, cowboy, divorced, exes dad, forbidden relationship, forced proximity, grieving MC, meet cute, one night stand, small town, sports (adjacent), traumatic past, workplace
POV: first person, dual pov
Plot: 3
Character Development: 3
Romance: 3
Ending: 3
My opinion: this book is ok. There's nothing wrong with it but it's not excellent. I feel like when you're going to have an ex's dad romance it needs to be excellent in some regard to make up for the awkwardness you get everywhere else but unfortunately this doesn't manage that. The only time this is close to being excellent is before they know who they are to each other. That is nearly perfect. The banter, the attraction, the who gives an F that he's 20 years older. All of that is there. But as soon as Noah recognizes his last name as her ex-boyfriend's dad then those things start to feel more forced. Don't get me wrong, this book has its moments and I'm considering continuing on with the series, I just wish this one was better. Especially since the blurb pulled me in so much.
