This entire story was done amazingly and I couldn't enough. Dare I say this was also Laura's spiciest book?? I'm sorry?? The shower scene in the beginning had me absolutely sweating. Laura and her bathroom scenes, man... Idk how she does it.
I'm such a sucker for fake dating every single time. It always hits, but I think Laura always does fake dating so well. Do we remember Before the Sunset??
The little crumbs we get from Magnolia Falls characters makes her stories always feel a little nostalgic when you're reading. Beefcake being apart of their meet cute was the most fitting thing to date.
A huge thank you to Laura and her team for ARC to read and review! You guys are the best as always.

The first book in a new series is always so much fun because we get to meet new characters, a new family, and a new quirky town!! I can’t wait to continue on in this series.
The banter in this book right off the bat was so much fun and I loved every second. I love when an FMC can give an MMC a run for his money. The hate to love aspect was so good and Easton was the perfect guy for this story!
I adore the nickname Princess and what it meant for her. For a while I also was like SHES NOT A PRINCESS, but then we he described the meaning.. tears. I’m a sucker. I love them!!!!

Our girl deserved way better and I wasn’t the biggest fan of our MMC. But alas, we move on.
If you love holiday baking and GRUMPY sunshine, this one is def for you!!! It’s low spice and such an easy one to listen to through your day and quick!

And he loves her daughter just as much as her????? I’m a puddle. You’ll have to mop me up.
This book was absolutely amazing and I loved every single second of it. I never wanted to put it down and I never wanted it to end. Oliver Bateman is the new love of my life, sorry.

They were oAs always, Laura can do no wrong. She writes the sweetest romances with the swooniest acts of love. I absolutely adored Kingston & Saylor.
They were one of my most anticipated reads because I love love love that she was romance bookstore owner! But I fell in love with them because of their friends to lovers story. Laura writes friends to lovers like she was made for it.
Learning about Saylor & Kingston’s backstory was extra special. For Kingston to realize his feelings after all this time and be able to place when it started. I mean, the man has truly been in love since he was a teenager and he didn’t even know how to express it. *cue Tori sobs here*
I just want everyone to know that I’m claiming Ryan - right here. Right now. Okay thanks, bye.
No, but all seriousness, this book was AMAZING. AGAIN. I just want everyone to know that I’m claiming Ryan - right here. Right now. Okay thanks, bye.
No, but all seriousness, this book was AMAZING. AGAIN. I don’t know how Kristen does this, but she always manages to grab the reader so quickly and I am completely enamored with this world by chapter two - again. It never fails.
Chase & Summer were everything I wanted in this book. I loved it so much because we didn’t have a ton of world building that was needed like the first book. Also, the two characters have been dancing around each other for five years and it was obvious in book one. So that made this whole story that much more enjoyable - we dove straight into their story.
The suspense in this story was *chefs kiss* and I loved it more than book one’s. I think it’s because with Chase being a cop, the suspense was more applicable to this story.
The Wild men, though, are absolutely amazing. Every single one of them. I love how caring and thoughtful they are, but also how much love they love their woman and value their family. Kristen wrote one of my favorite families to date.

BREAKING NEWS: Weston Belmont is the love of my life and has passed all Elsie Silver book boyfriends.
Not only did I love West, but Skylar was an amazBREAKING NEWS: Weston Belmont is the love of my life and has passed all Elsie Silver book boyfriends.
Not only did I love West, but Skylar was an amazing FMC and her character development was phenomenal. I found myself crying with her when she was dealing with some of her internal battles and anxieties. I found myself wanting to crawl through the pages to hug her. And the fact that she found a man who was willing to be patient with her and love her the way she needed to be? Sobbing. I am a mess.
You fall in love with Skylar as she learns to fall in love with herself.
The relationship Skylar developed with West’s kids was one for the ages. Emmy was one of the cutest kids ever and I wanted to give Oliver the biggest hug and all my support.
I loved this book. Simple as that.
But also the spice??? I was sweating. SWEAT. ING. BYE. I don’t know how Elsie just SAT THERE and wrote this. Did she do it with a straight face??? Inquiring minds need to know.

“My dad always tells me that no means to try harder. So, if I say, ‘Dad, can I have a freezie?� and he says, ‘No,� I just try harder. I’m working on a pony now. He keeps saying no, but I’m not giving up.�
My heart throbs uncomfortably. I’ve known West for what feels like a blink of an eye and a lifetime all at once. People write songs about this feeling.
“Breathing is overrated. I’d rather be drowning in you.�
“I’m done pretending that being your friend is enough.� I grip her thighs. “Now spread your legs.�
Second chance, rockstar romance. Childhood friends to lovers. Mental health rThis book is phenomenal.
That’s the most simple way to review this book.
Second chance, rockstar romance. Childhood friends to lovers. Mental health rep. It’s all there. The makings of an emotional romance that will leave you speechless in the end. Also, Noah Kahan coded???? Say less.
I read this book in two sittings. I knew I was going to love it so I dove immediately in. But when I thought I’d love it, I thought I’d just obsess over it for a little. But then I found out that the FMC has the same depressive episodes I have and deals with a similar family dynamic I have and I was a gonner. I was crying and just loving the way that Morgan put my own thoughts and insecurities into a book but created her a world where she was okay. I will forever appreciate her for this.
The romance between Riggs & Stella is one that will forever be with me because I love second chance romance more than life. It’s so amazing. The book is written in present time and past chapters, so you get their unwinding of past drama and issues in real time with them, but then you’ll go back in time to when it happened. Honestly, that’s how second chance should be done.
Riggs was an amazing MMC and I wanted to crawl through the pages and just hug him multiple times. I don’t want to give up much about him because he is the story that unfolds through this book.
Please read the TW before going into this book because honestly, you need to. If you have any issues with parental death or alcoholism, protect your peace. But if you can read this, read it. I cannot recommend it enough.
