“You’re a ridiculous kind of crazy, baby. But you’re my ridiculous kind of crazy.”

I freaking loved Colson & Nora so much! Their little fights were so freaking cute and when Colson finally made a move, I felt all the butterflies kicking in! The way Cole took care of Nora but still did not make her feel coddled like her father did was nice to see. I agree that Nora was a damsel in distress but she wasn't as incompetent and naive as her father made her out to be. I hated her father for controlling their relationship from the start, he deserved to be cut off tbh. If it weren't for him, Cole wouldn't have had to waste an entire year in pursuing Nora because it was so obvious that he was captivated by her since the moment he first saw her. The chemistry between these two was amazing and I couldn't get enough of their moments together, especially the ones that involved Liam's little girls! They were so freaking cute and because of that, I just can't wait to dive into Liam & Haley's book next! Overall, this was a very emotional and angsty, small town, enemies to lovers, forced proximity romance and I am definitely becoming a fan of this series!
