I just can't even with this one Brighton. GOOD LORD WOMAN.

This is the 4th installment of the Starlight Cove series and it follows Aiden and Avery, who end up working together after a INSANELY hot one night stand. You've got it all here- best friend's brother, workplace, grumpy/sunshine, small town. I was hooked from the first page.

Aiden may be my favourite so far. The MOUTH on that man. Literally. Book boyfriend material, for sure. Who knew Pleasure Dom was a thing? But I for one am here for it. And I loved the hidden romance novelist in him! Trying to hide it from his family and be the best at everything was bound to make the guy snap. And Avery was along for the ride.

I loved the found family and tight knit community of Starlight Cove and all the McKenzie siblings. This is why I love reading these small town/sibling series, you still get to check in with the couples from previous books and get a glimpse into their relationships.

I loved Aiden and Avery together and how protective he was of her. And add in the run in at Cottage 13 and major "WHO DID THIS TO YOU" vibes and I was a goner.

Do yourself a favour and read this! It definitely works as a standalone but the whole series is just amazing, so starting at book 1 gives you more background on all the siblings and the town as a whole.

Not sure why but I just wasn't gelling with this book. The writing was very strong and I liked the set up, but I didn't feel like I was going to get more invested in it as it went on. Admittedly this is book four in a series and I haven't read the previous three, so I might revisit at some point in the future.

SO fun!

I haven’t read the series, only this book. I swear my smile didn’t stop! So cute and lovable! I will absolutely start this series from the beginning. What a great introduction to this author.

I haaaateee when romance books talk about romance books. It cringes me out and takes me out of the story. And men who read romance are rarely genuine so that was also weird. He gave me clark Kent vibes, like a nerd who happens to be hot. But their chemistry was great and the story was good, even though the secret stuff is flimsy and boring.
