I'm enjoying books with a small-town setting and family dynamics. It had that as well as the witty banter and loveable characters while tackling adversities such as Neurodivergence. It's a feel-good romance with spicy moments, found family and forbidden romance with a brother's best friend.

Willa's personality and her interactions with Cade's son made me enjoy this more than the previous book in the series.

Perfect read. Lighthearted with witter banter and yet has important topics that deepen the connection with the characters and story. I glad I got to know Summer and Aiden. It’s one of those books I’d want to read for the first time over and over again.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 55%.

I wasn't connecting with the story or the main characters although Sarah and Tanner are nice. The side plots like the ghost, her brother and her ex-husband didn't draw me in. It did the opposite.

I love Polly and Ryan's story. I got to meet both characters through previous appearances in the series. The development of their relationships as well as Ryan's with his adopted son, Jake was amazing to watch unfold and deepen. I love getting to know every member of the Wild family book by book and those that surround them–making me enjoy the previous books in the series even more now as well as anticipating the books to come.
I was completely consumed by the story. It has everything I wanted. A beautiful romance in Big Sky Country–Montana, a close-knit community, the ups and downs of family dynamics, strong women and the general beauty in both the simple and extraordinary moments in life.
I can't wait to read Brady and Abbi's story.

I like Josie and think it's great that Brax took responsibility for his actions. Because this a a quick read and centres around a second-chance romance I didn't connect with the relationship as much as previous books by this author. They have things they have to work through and that is the main plot, but am glad they could in the end.
I look forward to reading more by Kristen Proby in the future.
