I’m so sad this series is over. I loved all of these stories and characters so much!

Preston Rhodes is the ultimate book boyfriend! This. Man. He will have you in a choke hold from the first time you meet him. He is hot as hell and is absolutely obsessed with Emma in the best possible way. Emma is completely relatable. She’s a fun girl who is silently suffering with her insecurities about her lack of direction in life. 

Emma is spending the summer in the Hamptons to find herself when instead she finds herself crashing Preston’s sister’s wedding events and being caught up in a fake dating scheme with him.

The meet cute between Preston and Emma was so entertaining. Emma’s sass added a fun element to their fantastic banter and their chemistry was beyond off the charts. It didn’t take long for them to fall into bed (or a sauna, or massage table?) together because they were SO hot for each other. 

Kat is a master of writing spice. She gives us 6 chapters in a row of tension, build up and spice which I loved, but afterwards I still wanted more because the connection between these characters is delicious! 

Their relationship developed quite quickly and then we got a 2 month time jump to show that they have spent more time together and got to know one another given they burned so fast and bright. After that we got several more time jumps a few months at a time. I’m personally not a huge fan of lots of time jumps, however they worked and were necessary for the plot in this book. 

Thank you so much to Kat Singleton, her team and VPR for the opportunity to read an ARC!
