This was so stinking cute, and definitely steamy! 

My favorite thing about this book: the “will they won’t they” was never drawn out - they get together relatively quickly with enough build up that it feels satisfying; they hit a rough spot, it’s resolved quickly and like adults. It isn’t “oh finally, they’re together!…..crap, 6 chapters of fighting…..together again!….rinse repeat”. It was just a genuinely adorable, heartwarming, often sexy story. 

I really enjoyed this, especially since romance isn’t my primary genre. I’ll for sure plan to continue with Hardy’s books on Bluebird Basin!
