This was a very pleasant read. It was heartwarming and cute while still having quite a bit of conflict and tension (them not waiting for a reason or another to be together. I still wouldn't call this book angsty). The relationship was mostly cute with one of them being a dork and the other a closed-off softie.
This is the second book by this author that I have tried reading and I, saddly, have to say that she's not for me. Too short, smut without feelings, not geat writing
It is the kind of gay detective novel that I like but the slow burn was too slow for me. I would have preferred more romance. Halfway through I wasn't engaged anymore. If you like mm romance detective books you might like it though because the tropes are the ones typical of this genere, it is well written and the south rural setting is atmospheric.
