This is one of my favorite Tessa Bailey books that I've read to date. I love how both optimistic and yet realistic this novel was. While Bethany and Wes had an undeniable instant love connection, they both had real world issues to consider. Wes is now acting as the guardian of his niece, there's a very real age gap and suspected maturity gap between the two characters, and Bethany wants to prove herself outside of what Wes is contributing to the flip. 

For a romance novel, the pacing and resolution are realistic, giving the characters the time to discover what they truly want and need and who they are in their new roles in life. 

I'll need to get my hands on my own copy so I can have this available to read at all times!

Stand alone sequel. Loved Bethany and her realness. Easier to relate to than Georgie being a clown in Fix Her Up. Loved Wes when he was with Laura. Hope there’s not a book about Steven and Kristen because I can’t stand them. Love this series though!

Now THIS was the book for me. I absolutely loved Bethany and Wes’ relationship! How they grew and changed as people and partners was beautiful. Their relationship was sexy and plentiful. 

I also loved being inside Beth’s head half of the time. To hear how critical “miss perfect” was of herself humanized her in a big way for me. And hearing her realize that being less than perfect was OKAY was beautiful. 

Wes was simply adorable. Tessa Bailey didn’t give him a macho attitude like you’d expect from a cowboy but he was just the right amount of cocky and annoying to be endearing. He also didn’t call Beth a cringy pet name like “baby girl”. Darling (most commonly used) suited me just fine.
