I've been seeing this book everywhere, but I kept putting it off because this thing is a chunker, and any book over 400 pages just kind of scares me away. But I kept seeing it getting recommended this month, and it felt like fate was just telling me to pick the dang book up, so here went nothing. I am so happy that I picked this one up because not only was this a 5-star, it was one that I could not put down and had so much fun reading. The book didn't feel like a 500+ page book because I just flew through this so fast. This book is technically a small-town romance, and it fits in that spectrum, but it was so much more. First, we had the drama from Tina to deal with; we got to see Naomi get her life put back together and care for Waylay, and then to top it all off, we had Knox! Knox is a very broody man who isn't your typical hero. I loved how he got so protective over not just Naomi but also Waylay. This book became one of my favorites, and I can see this one being one of the top books of the year for me. I hate that it took me so long to read, but this one is the beginning of a series. The next book I hoped would follow Lucian, but it turns out to be following Nash, Knox's brother. I honestly can't wait because I loved Score's writing in this book and the story in this one was just amazing. I can't wait to see how that book plays out, and hopefully, there's a third that follows Lucian's story!
