I cannot believe this was her debut book! Second chance romances aren’t typically my go to, but this one was so well done. The only thing that made me give it four stars was that this baby was thiiiick and I think it could have been a bit shorter. 

I truly loved seeing the relationship grow and heal between Hank and Wrenley. Madison did a great job making me feel all the emotions between these two and rooting for them the whole time. Also, the slow burn was goooood and we get some whiskey shenanigans 😏 I love me some tension and the ending to that buildup delivered. I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us for book two and I have my fingers crossed it features two side characters I came to love in this!!

Thank you so much to Madison for the ARC 💕
