I love these two and their sweet story (with a dash of spice πŸ˜‰). I love how they supported each other and cared about each other and their successes. 

Ford is a cinnamon roll of an mmc and Palmer is a tough, but loving character. I loved how much focus Palmer's business and ambitions received. Even as they developed their relationship, Ford never let her forget her dreams and helped her achieve them is such great ways. 

They're two mature main characters and I adored that fact more and more as I read. Even their "break" was handled maturely and with some decent communication (I actually wish Holly would have shown us more of their conversation surrounding this - but I wanted more of just about everything because I loved these two). 

I also have to applaud Holly for researching a food allergy and handling it correctly! I can not tell you how many times, reading or watching, that I've yelled into the void, "You have to go to the hospital after you use an Epi-pen! It's not a magical cure!" So I was thrilled to see this handled with care.
 I especially enjoyed how protective Ford is when he finds out about Palmer's allergy, because my husband did exactly the same when we started dating and still is my best advocate! I would repeat how it's okay and I'm used to it, but he's always double checking and taking the lead when people don't take it seriously when we were out and food is involved. 

Overall, if you've enjoyed a Holly Whitworth book before, you'll be so pleased with her growth as a writer to get her to this book! And if you haven't picked up one of her books? What are you waiting for? Go grab this one. πŸ˜‰πŸ₯°

Well written, but a bit predictable. Still a greatly enjoyable read.

Great emotion throughout, but it felt like a rushed ending.
