**ARC REVIEW**
Oh to be back in the world of wildflowers!!!
this newest installment in the wildflowers series takes you back to hawthorne mills with thayer, salem, and of course- CALEB. 😍 then we meet halle, his new next door neighbor who has dealt with her fair share of shit and is looking for a fresh start as the now-guardian of her younger twin brothers. i loved the instant sparks between caleb and halle, and totally loved the found family vibes that all the stories in this series bring. one thing that wasn’t my favorite was how often halle talking down on herself/doubting EVERYTHING, especially in her relationship; as it just got kind of stale at times. (but like… i also understand it based on her past) BUT caleb’s “savior complex” worked for him here and helped with this a lot. i also loved that there is a huge helping of third-act drama but NO third-act breakup!!!
if you’ve read the wildflowers series i do think it’s worth it to check this one out too!! there’s spice, great tropes, amazing characters- and it’s out everywhere NOW! 💜🌸🧑🧑🧒 thank you to Valentine PR and the author for providing this ARC for me to read and review!
