Every book Katie writes becomes my new favorite of hers with my new favorite couple! This one did not disappoint. I loved Ivory and Rome’s chemistry, connection and story. I
If you’re looking for a romance set in a small town with some spice, this is your book! I wanted to ignore all my responsibilities until I finished it.
Can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
Definitely check out her other books as well! If you like this, you’ll love them too.
i love how different these characters are, you have a big burly lobsterman & a super busy & organized mom of 2. they come from different worlds but they are just as passionate & romantic, & honestly they really are on the same wavelength.
it's definitely an instalove story but i'm not mad at it because you can see how rome is opening his heart to love again while ivory is ditching the flings & trying to get to know rome more. i love that aunt nan set rome up & is trying to get him out there again i thought that was a cute touch that his aunt stepped up to raise him after his mom passed when he was 20.i love how both of these characters come to appreciate themselves & each other without compromising any part of themselves. in each of their past relationships they had to put themselves in a box or prioritize pleasing their partners, & you can see how they work through those insecurities to give their relationship their all.
i wasn't expecting hope to pop up like that, i was definitely surprised, but it made sense to show that rome & ivory are serious about each other & there's no reason to be insecure.
i cannot stand the nickname braids though, oh my goodness that nickname is not great. i get it though it's quirky & fitting for ivory, but not cute.
