This is everything I adore about Addy’s storytelling. This made me laugh, blush, and cry in all the best ways. 

Gannon is such the grump, with being the oldest and all the pressure his father had put on him from such a young age. Now the CEO of the family biz he hold himself to a higher standard, so when Carys presents a business proposal to help his company’s plant not see the demise of the dumpster he has to do everything to hold himself back. 

COME ON… who doesn’t love a β€œf@ck it” moment where the hero just kisses his girl?!?🫠 These two chemistry is perfection. I love Carys spunk and teasing she throws at Gannon. Like she knows he wants her but it’s funner to watch him squirm. 🀭

The family dynamic is always my favorite too. The family text thread 🀣 and Tate when he finds out his brother + bff are dating.

Truthfully overall seeing Carys find + feel wholly loved by a man was beautiful. We all desire that and the fact Gannon would stop at nothing to have her see how loved she was made me cry.
