My first book by Jillian and I loved this one from the first page. Small town romances are the best and then add a single parent…those are my weak spots. Other tropes includes friends to lovers, age gap to really hammer it home a great well-rounded contemporary romance story. 

With the sweetness overload and two people learning to trust each other from past trauma on top of MC Reid dealing with demons created so many layers that was exciting and a compliment to Reid and Busy’s slow burn love. 

The cutest four legged friend and little bundle of cuteness added so much tenderness it was hard to not love. Busy’s daughter Junie plus her adoration for Reid’s dog Sydney was insanely pure and created a dynamic that only enhanced falling in love with Reid and Busy! 

Thank You Pen Pal Marketing for this ARC! I love being introduced to new authors I can’t wait to read more of❤️
