This was a cute read!
I wasn't sure what to expect from this but it ended up being super spicy. 🥵
Our characters Rebecca and Phil have a second chance at their previous relationship after they run into each other when Rebecca is on a forced vacation thanks to her sister.
I wish we got to see more of Rebecca and Phil's backstory. They felt very surface level in terms of personality. They were kind of... bland, for lack of a better word. Their previous relationship and why they broke up was explained well, but I wanted to know more about them as people so I could care more about them.
I liked the whole concept of "closure" that our characters were trying to have so they could move on, but that "closure" just felt like a lot of s3x ☠️ Which good for them but also maybe talk about things that need to be resolved? Idk just a thought.
The ending was satisfying and this book had a lot of cute moments. If you're a fan of second chance romance and family feuds, you may enjoy this one! 
I also really enjoyed the author's writing style, so I will be continuing this series.
