My Review:
This was my first Tessa Bailey book and I was excited based on the hype surrounding her and the synopsis of this book. I thought the setting and the pairing seemed interesting and for the most part, I was right! I really loved the characters and the grumpy sunshine trope. The way they got together and the things they went through together were well done.
I will say, this book made completely skipping the spice hard. I didn’t like that a lot of their most important conversations happened at the most inappropriate times (if you know what I’m saying…) and the MMC had no self-control. I felt that was a little immature and didn’t add to the chemistry. I know that’s completely personal preference and I did love the relationship of the MCs and the plot of the rest of the book.
