alexis montgomery is an er doctor and has big shoes to fill, as her family so kindly continues to remind her. daniel grant is a carpenter that is trying to save his familyโs legacy, despite his motherโs interference
alexis meets daniel when her car breaks down. he helps her to get on her way (and then some ๐คญ) and she just canโt stop thinking about him. heโs different than the other people in her life - in a good way - and makes life seem not so stressful & he feels the same about her
alexis just worries, because she knows her family & friends wonโt feel the same. but her and daniel find peace in each other, a newfound peace like no other. they just have to decide if itโs worth fighting for
โ
i looooved this book so much. this was my first abby jimenez book & i cannot wait to continue reading this series and other books by her! ๐คฉ
i loved the sense of comfort and security that alexis and daniel provided for each other. despite not growing up the same way, they didnโt let that impact how they treated people or each other. the way that they longed for each otherโs love ugh ๐ค๐ฝ
and the way that daniel stood up for alexis & supported her against her ex?? swooooon ๐
this book had me in a chokehold. i finished it in less than 24 hours. if you havenโt read this book yet, run now
โ
there also were a few connections to the little mermaid (despite the title, iโm unsure if this was intended ended or not haha)
โจ alexis has red hair
โจ alexisโ dad disapproves of her choices bc itโs not what he had planned for her. this is similar to king triton having concerns for arielโs choices, although his concerns were for safety & not of how her choices would impact their familyโs image/legacy
โจ the roles are kinda reversed compared to the little mermaid. alexis & her family are rich and well off, meanwhile in the little mermaid, prince eric & his family were royalty & well off
