Book two in Daisy Jane’s Wrench Kings series! We finally get Goldie’s story and her love interest is ATTICUS! Which made me so excited! I wasn’t let down by their relationship, either. Goldie takes after her name and is a ray of sunshine. She has walls up because of her traumatic past, but she’s excited to be starting over in Oakcreek with her bestie, Beck, and (hopefully) a new job soon. Atticus is everyone’s favorite grump over at Wrench Kings. Haunted by his inner ghosts, he doesn’t let himself live to the fullest or truly enjoy his life, and he’s hesitant to let anyone get too close to him. The two are forced together repeatedly, starting with Beau volunteering Atticus to help build Goldie’s bed, and eventually lead to them being stuck in a snowed-in cabin together. Their chemistry is off the charts, but can either of them let someone in enough to truly experience love?

I thought that this was a MASSIVE step up from book one in the series - Goldie and Atticus have such well developed backstories and their chemistry was evident from page one. I really, really love Goldie and enjoyed her character arc so much! My biggest complaint was how much she talked about how Atticus smells… lol, but everything else was so good, fun, and spicy.
