It has been five years since Faye last saw Hunter. Five long, lonely years - at least he could have looked worse. But no. He is still gorgeous and wonderful and everything she loves despite the pain. Hunter knew that Faye did not need to deal with his mess after leaving the Marines. But seeing her after five years? Definitely worse than being deployed.

Can I just say - WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO READ ALL THE REBECCA ZANETTI. Phew. Got that off my chest.

Loved this little novella, made me literally laugh out loud, get weirdly excited to see characters cross over from her other series (**waves like a maniac at Dage and Talen**) and ached with the mutual pining and pain that can come with loving someone. Faye is sweet and lovely and knows Hunter probably better than he knows himself. Hunter just wants Faye to be happy - and he isn’t sure that he can help her be happy. This is a great evening read that is peak Zanetti.

May is the Hot Mess Shipley and that only gets worse after her disaster of a girlfriend is found making out in a small town bar and May nearly starts a bar fight. She is rescued by the most unlikely of heroes - Alec Rossi. Party boy, bar owner, and all-around wild man. Could there be a more unlikely pairing? Not in his opinion.

I am a huge Sarina Bowen fan so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I adored this book. Once again she captured so much of the essence of small-town and family politics but this had two really special elements. One, May deals with struggling with her sobriety and making her sobriety a priority despite her emotions and frustrations. It is honest and raw and brilliantly handled. Two, this is my favorite part - May is bisexual! She discusses it openly and has dated both men and women and even really speaks to how people tend to not... get bisexuals or exclude them if they are dating someone of a different gender. I love it. Alec also is an absolute sweetie who really didn’t see feelings coming as a good time guy but does what he needs to and is awesomely supportive and a cutie to boot!

I really wish I had read these in order - it is so unlike me not to! - but if you wanted I guess you could read them as standalones.
