I think I finally had enough when the Mafia was mentioned. Yet over the course of the book the story got worse and worse because more subplots were added and the story got way too full. The trope has always been one of my favorite and I was excited to see how it would play out in this book especially because Knox was very grumpy and quiet. When he knows how to spice the bedroom as well >Ģ.25 stars for a book that had a great beginning and got worse and worse the more you read. When he likes to watch her eat his food > But all good, I'm not gonna complain too much cause of Knox. Also the drama at the end felt super rushed to me, I would've preferred if the author would've taken some time on it- at least 6-7 chapters. Knox's backstory did not feel that impactful to me, sure I was sad and I felt for him but overall- it did not feel impactful. However, this one did feel slower than the first book and I did find myself wishing for a murder mystery aspect. The romance is slow burn, angsty with a pinch of insta lust. Memphis and Knox balance each other out perfectly, and have such a mature and healthy communication between them. The FMC aka Memphis is a single mom who was likable herself, tho a bit of a crybaby but it's okay, she wasn't annoying, except when she tried to drag her secret. Basically the man himself is as sweet as honey and he is the highlight of this book for me. He can cook, he can communicate, he can take care of your baby if you're a single mom and give you a sexy time as well. Top tier book boyfriend material 🥺 The man says honey and I melt, swoon, choke, die, etc etc. Of course we get the small town setting and it's fine but for me the main attraction was the grumpy MMC aka Knox. Look, it's a GOOD three star rating, but some of the things just fell short- gonna explain. And we'll add in a bunch of babies to the mix to keep it interesting.' And a man like Knox Eden will only ever be a dream. Because after the first worst day of her life, Memphis learned a good life requires giving up on her dreams too. With his sharp, stubbled jaw and tattooed arms, he’s raw and rugged and everything she’s never had-and never will. Knox Eden is a beautiful, sinful dream, a chef and her temporary landlord.

It’s there, on the fifth worst day of her life, that she meets the handsomest man she’s ever laid eyes on. Even if it requires working as a housekeeper at The Eloise Inn and living in an apartment above a garage. Even if it requires setting aside the glamour of her former life. If putting the past behind her requires a thousand miles and a new town, she’ll do it if it means a better future for her son.

Because moving across the country with her newborn baby is by far the craziest thing she’s ever done.īut maybe it takes a little crazy to build a good life.

Memphis Ward arrives in Quincy, Montana, on the fifth worst day of her life.
