I love everything about this book...not much else to say!
I am obsessed with the characters, the plot, and the development that occurs throughout the story. I originally thought that it would be an "all smut/vibes no plot" kind of book but boy, I was MAJORLY wrong. the spice honestly takes a backseat to the amazing and heartwarming character development of both Grace and Carson. By the end of the story, I felt like I truly knew these characters IRL and felt proud of them many times for the changes they made to their lives.
I loved this book so much that I made my boyfriend buy me every Mia Sheridan book my local Walmart had to offer before I was even finished lol. 1000/10 stars.

I pride myself on being able to predict how books and movies are going to play out. Boy was I wrong time and time again while reading this one. Each page brought an unexpected layer to the story, making this book stand out for me. Grace is described as the girl with a plan while Carson is the more carefree character but one weekend changes all of that for them. While I wasn't the biggest fan of the judgment on his early career choice, I know this is common. Overall I liked how both Carson and Grace grew up separately over time before realizing they should be together. The weekend was a huge catalyst in both of their lives. Sometimes it really is the right person, wrong time. The way Mia used this book to also shed light on a huge issue like human trafficking is admirable. I really hope there are some Carson's out there in this world trying to fight that battle just as passionately as he is alongside his team.
