Omg this book!!
This was so so cute and sexy.
Let’s talk about Emory first. First of all, I kind of fell in love with his name the first time I read it, just saying.
This is a grumpy-sunshine story, and Emory in the beginning was extremely grumpy, but when I tell you this man is obsessed with her, I am not kidding. The way this character was written left me speechless. He said all the right things, he was understanding, considerate, funny, flirty and so so sexy. This man fell first and harder, and we love that, don't we? Literally, in Lorelei's pov, she was all "I bet he hates me and thinks I'm so annoying" and then you moved to his pov and he was thinking of how much he loves her smile and how jealous he was her smiles and laughter was never directed to him. I had such a great time with these two!! And I'm also pretty sure Emory is going to be on my top 5 male leads of the year.
Moving on to the main conflict of the book, I was hesitant at first because I thought the way the author handled the 3rd act breakup would ruin the book for me, but it definitely didn't! Things that had to happen happened, and the characters handled everything great, I have no complains about how the conflict got solved.
I also enjoyed the dynamics between Lorelei and her friends. This first book was an assertive introduction to them, I think the author did a great job setting the bases to what's coming. When I'm writing this, the second book of this series is already published and the third is on its way. I'm super excited to keep reading about them and their beautiful small town. The story I look forward the most has not been announced yet, so I still don't know if the hints I thought I sensed are correct (crossing my fingers that they are), but I hope I enjoy the following books as much as I did this one. I'm going to dive straight to the next couple❤️
