4.0
Thanks to NetGalley for the complimentary copy.
Written in third person POV.
This is a story about a best selling author trying to find inspiration for her next book. She moves to the outer banks with her sister thinking if she experiences heartbreak again she will find the inspiration. She ends up fake dating the town playboy to hopefully be heartbroken and find inspiration. What she doesn't expect is the self healing and growth from past trauma that they help each other overcome leading to an unexpected ending.
4/5 stars
3/5 spice
I loved this book. Jennifer Probst has become un auto buy author for me after reading her meet me in Italy series. Her character development and story telling is so good you end up having personal connections with each of the characters. I couldn't put down this book and couldn't wait to see what happens. The way she writes a spicy romance but also keeps you invested in the characters is amazing. The spice was hot and not written in a cheesy way. So realistic and made me crave more! I can't wait for Kane and Sierra's story in her next book! I have it on pre-order.

5 stars
This was my favorite book in this series so far. Jennifer Probst is becoming an auto buy author for me.
The characters were toxic at times but after a lot of self discovery and self realization they became relatable. Another sub plot that may have been missed is foregivness. Jennifer does such a good job with character development in her books. I feel I personally know these characters and it keeps me rooting for them. I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Gail is a 60 something year old divorced mom of an adult daughter who's getting married. This story takes us through Gail’s perspective of the day before, day of, and day after her daughter’s wedding. But it turns into way more than just wedding events. We get a glimpse of Gails failed marriage with Max. And some self realization on how things could have been different.
I loved this story. Gail was relatable to me (being an introvert. ) and how hard it is for us to truly express how we are feeling, always feeling guilty about decisions we make, always trying to be perfect. This story turned out to be so much more than I expected going into it. The author did a wonderful job of making me feel I was right in Gails brain and making her so relatable. What a pleasurable read!
