“It’s okay if it takes you some time to find it again. And it’s okay if you find it just to lose a bit of it here and there. That’s the beauty of it, yeah? It comes and goes. Not every day is a happy one and it shouldn’t be. It’s in the trying, I think.”
I really enjoyed the first Lovelight book, and I've been wanting to continue the series and read about Beckett and Evie's story ever since. I'm not sure if I set my expectations too high, but my time with In The Weeds wasn't as good as I hoped it would be... There were things I loved, including the small town setting, the quirky cast of characters and the animals, but the actual romance was rather underwhelming for me. I never felt the chemistry between Beckett and Evie, who seemed more in lust than actually in love during most of the plot. The smut was WAY too much for me, and since there are quite a few scenes it was a bit annoying to keep skipping them all. The constant pining and miscommunication could get quite frustrating as well, and especially since it is SO obvious what the two feel about each other. I actually preferred spending time with the side characters rather than with Beckett and Evie, which is never a good sign since the story is mainly focused on the pair. The descriptions of the setting were great though, and it made me wish the small Maryland town was real so that I could actually go there. The animals incorporated into the plot were the cutest, and there was some great banter as well. Sadly, as a romance read, In The Weeds did fail to deliver for me.

I thought this book was a delight. I had a good time reading it. Beckett was my favorite. I thought him and Evelyn was adorable.
