There are tons of heartfelt family moments that made my chest squeeze with emotion, as well as a resilient heroine and a friends to lovers romance that’s tender, angsty, swoony, and HOT all at once. It’s not often that I read about a guy who is SO genuinely good patient, loving, and out to prove that he is worthy of trust. It only takes one trip to her neighborhood to change everything, and I loved how he embraced every moment. But the incredibly swoonworthy, soft, and strong hero steals the show here – he’s a man who has been slowly courting his girl for the last three years, steadfast and determined to finally make it out of the friend zone. It’s a spinoff from a series, the start of something new, and the community aspect was pretty stellar. I’ve been meaning to check out this new-to-me author, and this seemed like the perfect place to jump in. This caught me on the right day, in the right mood, and I was woefully unprepared for how FANTASTIC it was going to be.
