2.5 🌟
Average, quick read without too much character work. No real plot other than the meet-cute/deal at the beginning.
Valentina is 25. She's lived a sheltered life, homeschooled by her church-pastor parents, her first time away from home is working and living on-site as the bookkeeper at Stolen Hearts Lodge.
She might not have any real experience with men, but she's not backward in coming forwards, so when one of the handsome Lodge workers delivers her a package that was accidentally given to him, she is unapologetically open about why she's decided to get herself the hot pink toy.
When Lucas realises that gorgeous Valentina has no past sexual experience, he can't believe he made a flippant comment about offering his assistance if needed. He's a widower of 5 years, raising his 6 year old daughter alone, (with the help of his sister and mother). He's reserved and has never been at all interested in another relationship after his marriage ended with his cheating wife's death.
The two end up sleeping together and in a matter of days (or a week or two max), they have fallen in love. Considering they barely knew each other before I thought this was a stretch. But, it wasn't badly written, so it's an ok 2.5 to 3 star read.
This book contains descriptive love scenes.
