Darlin' by E.L. Lewis
4.25

Such a fun and charming twist on opposites attract and enemies-to-lovers! Sunshiny southern belle and beauty queen Savannah  heads to California to find her brother. She stumbles upon grumpy, gruff Jesse, a member of a motorcycle club. A slow burn romance develops but the growth of the characters starts immediately as Savvy learns to get out from her parent’s wings and Jesse learns to open up his heart. It’s been a while since I’ve read a romance from a single point-of-view, I loved the inside dialogue and southern nature of Savannah. There’s a small bit of suspense to the plot which I think is always a nice addition to romances. I’m looking forward to reading more trope fusions from this author!
Thanks to the author for the eARC.
