Shucked
by Kate Canterbary
SHUCKED – KATE CANTERBARY
The Loew Brothers #1
An ARC copy of the book was given by the author in exchange for an honest review.
RATING
⭐⭐⭐⭐
4 out of 5.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Beckett Loew is used to cleaning up other people’s messes. Especially his family’s. This time around the mess put his father in federal prison, his mother is lost somewhere in South America and his brothers are non-responsive to his inquiries.
Not mentioning the flailing and messy money laundering business, excuse me, restaurant that needs his attention to detail to stay afloat.
Cleaning up messes is one thing, realising your best friend’s little sister is temptation personified is another.
Sunny duJardin has lived her adult life to spite her childhood one: free of baggage, sailing around the world, finding purpose. Winning a bait shop on a round of poker and turning it into a flourishing vegan restaurant is maybe the next challenge, but she sure as hell won’t let it fail due to the arrogant next door neighbour, who happens to be extremely great at forearm foreplay.
They’re all wrong for each other.
Bitter rivals.
Complete opposites.
Off limits.
Except they can’t keep their hands off each other.
They tell themselves it’s nothing more than a steamy summer fling until secrets spill and real trouble comes their way.
REVIEW:
Kate Canterbary is an auto buy author for me. Whatever she decides to put out, I will – no matter what – read. And enjoy and sing hymns about and then impatiently check whether she has a new release in the upcoming weeks. Now, the latter is just a fever dream, but it sounds heavenly.
Sunny and Beckett seem all wrong for each other.
She is sunny with all the puns intended, he is stormy. He wears three piece suits, she is most comfortable in wrap skirts. He is a fixer, she is content in the midst of chaos. He was the bully in her story growing up, meanwhile her brother was the one pillar he could always lean on.
Once they meet again, they start on the wrong foot. It was absolutely hilarious to see how the composed Beckett lost his ever-loving mind over just a hair flip of Sunny. Her hatred toward him is fuelled even more by his inability to let things go by him easily, so after offending her in one sentenced and saving her from being trampled, emotions start to run at a high fever. They know it’s all wrong, their inability to stay in each other’s orbit without bickering for a second is proof enough.
But deep down, they are quite similar. Both care immensely for their friends and loved ones. Both are ruthless business people, with a flair for dramatic gestures. Beckett loves to rile Sunny up, which meant the banter was otherworldly. I highlighted the absolute maximum from every interaction the main characters shared, as their witty dialogue was quintessentially true to the author but refreshing at the same time!
I loved the undercurrent of something’s is up, the tension is delivered was an extra cherry on the cake!
The small town romance is starting to become a staple in the author’s repertoire, and I was so happy to re-visit the town of Friendship and its crazy habitants. If you’re looking for an enemies to lovers, sibling’s best friend, opposites attract delight, look no further!
TROPES FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE:
- small town romance
- enemies/rivals to lovers
- opposites attract
- sibling’s best friend
- grumpy/sunshine
- contemporary romance
