Savannah and Hayes are total soulmates—peas and carrots. Their story has everything: **grumpy/sweetheart vibes, fake marriage, second-chance feels, a meddling old man,** and all the small-town goodness. Savannah’s back after ghosting Hayes ten years ago, needing a husband to claim her dream farmhouse. Cue Hayes stepping in, despite swearing off marriage. The tension, the history, the slow-burn—*chef’s kiss*. Past misunderstandings unravel, feelings resurface, and Hayes realizes he never stopped wanting her. Loved the banter, the found family, and how everyone saw the shift in Hayes before he did. A perfect end to the series—sweet, emotional, and totally worth the read!
